THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER WAS COMPLETELY CRUSHED WHEN I HIT A SIGN POLE IN A PARKING LOT. IT WAS IN MY BLIND SPOT (WHERE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD MEETS THE DRIVER-SIDE DOOR, THAT STRIP OF METAL) WHEN I PULLED SLIGHTLY FORWARD AND TO THE LEFT TO LEAVE THE LOT. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOING VERY FAST, THIS POLE WAS WITHIN 4' OF MY CAR, YET THIS APPROX 4" DIAMETER METAL POLE COMPLETELY CRUSHED THE BUMPER. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE FRAILTY IN SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROTECTION AFFORDED A CAR'S OCCUPANTS. I'D LIKE CHEVY TO REPLACE THE BUMPER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVY. IT'S BACK TO VOLVOS FOR THIS WOMAN. *AK
