This just in from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS): bumpers on cars and SUVs don’t line up leading to huge repair bills in what should be minor collisions in stop-and-go traffic.
The Institute’s crash test results show that in fender-benders with SUVs, cars often end up with excessive damage to hoods, engine cooling systems, fenders, bumper covers, and safety equipment like lights. SUVs don’t always come out unscathed either, often needing extensive work.
