I am dissatisfied with the design of the bicycle-car-rack as it is not stable and causes safety issues with my bike.
65% felt their bikes were secure, but 35% had concerns
I use my own bike locks and join them all together and then to the frame for extra security, even though the security features of the product are good.
During travel, the ratchet clips flipped inside out and the bikes started to slide off the bike rack, indicating poor security features.
After coming back from a pub, my bicycle-car-rack's security feature was not up to the mark as the cable lock was cut.
The security cable was not effective as it was cut and my bikes were stolen.

Installing the bolt was a bit difficult, but I expected it due to the way the two pieces connect.
The installation of the bicycle-car-rack was fairly smooth with only a couple of tricky items. My husband handled the installation part.
I faced difficulties during the installation process. I struggled with installing the one big pin and then the handle with a spring inside a plastic enclosure popped out, causing the spring to be dislodged in the plastic enclosure. It was very frustrating.
70% found it easy to load and unload their bikes
It takes just a few minutes to put the rack and bikes on and it's very easy to use.
I can easily access the vehicle's rear door/tailgate through an easy-release lever.
