Q: Hello! I bought this and my son loves it but I have trouble with the connection between the car and the remote control. They didn’t connected well so we can’t use them
submitted by Magdalena - 3 years ago
A: What's worked for us is to turn the car in first then, within a few seconds, turn the remote on. Then, wait until the light on the remote stops blinking so you know the connection has been made. Also, make sure batteries are fully charged or new. Good luck!

Q: My daughter got these as a Christmas gift. We only played it a few times over the holiday. Now it will not run when placed on the floor. We put in brand new batteries and the wheels run when flipped upside down. Help please!
submitted by Sarah - 4 years ago
A: Check to make sure there is not hair wrapped around the axles. We have pets and long-haired folks in our house and this has been a culprit. Good luck

These bumper cars are not made of quality material and began falling apart after just one use. The controller is large and very ease to use but the cars are not durable.

My son asked for this for Christmas and I almost didn’t get it, thinking it would be a dud, but we were totally surprised! It’s super fun to drive them and they turn really well and squeal when you hit them out of the car. We were all laughing and playing for a long time with these. I’m really glad we got them!

At first this toy seemed so cute and such a fun idea. After less than 24 hours one of the cars barely moves anymore. After changing batteries, it hasn’t changed. Seems to be a motor issue. Very disappointing
Poor quality, broken before use.

Looks cool, but didn’t work straight out of the box. One guy wouldn’t stay in the car because the part that holds him down wouldn’t clip in. We even opened up the toy to attempt to fix it, but it’s just the way it’s made.

Red car stopped working properly within the first hour of use. Do not buy. Red car seems to have an issue with the rear passenger side wheel that is tweaked and it runs very slow. Seems to be an issue as the reviewer below mentioned the same thing. Bought earlier in year for grandson for Christmas and now can't return. 😔

The red car broke within 1/2 hour’s worth of play time. The gears sound like they are grinding. Do not purchase. Beyond the durability issue, it is actually very difficult to engage the button and make the little guy pop out.

Didn’t work out of the box Christmas morning, when I went to exchange it someone had stolen the one that was defective for me out of the only remaining box. Guessing it’s an issue.

My kids had fun for a little while but after about 15 minutes one of the cars started making a loud noise from the back wheels. Nothing was stuck inside and can't figure out what is wrong. Also it needs way too many batteries.

In under an hour of play, a flag broke off one car and the gears are already grinding inside one of the cars. The people do not click down in the car. This toy was not built to last.

Hi - 3 months ago
Received these as a Christmas gift for my 3-year-old. Thought they were the coolest thing ever and had about an hour of fun before the blue one quit working right. Sounds like the gears are grinding and doesn’t go as fast. We took the whole thing j apart hoping to be able to fix it with no luck. I thought my kid just broke it somehow until I read these reviews. Pretty disappointed because they were a good time.

Loved the concept! But the red one broke within the first hour of use on my son’s birthday. Literally sounds like the gears are grinding apart when you try to drive. Surprised at how poor the quality is, batteries lasted longer than these.
