Initial set up looked good, until we started driving
Amazon Customer✓ Verified Purchase•July 22, 2017
Box specifically states it will fit make/model of my vehicle. Initial set up looked good, until we started driving. Straps came loose during travel and caused side hooks to scrape paint off my vehicle. Wire support struts came unhooked and caused rack to drop down, almost causing an accident and badly denting back of vehicle. Had to stop several times during travel to readjust because it kept slipping. Definitely going to cost way more in vehicle repairs than the rack cost. Sending item back for refund. Would give zero stars if that was an option.
Hard to load bikes
Barb M.✓ Verified Purchase•August 30, 2016
We bought this before our vacation this summer. It's made for 4 bikes but we could just BARELY load our 2adult bikes and 1 kids bike onto it. I have no idea how someone could put 4 bikes on this but I sure would like to see it!
If you are loading kids' bikes on the rack and have to attach a cross bar, good luck!! The bars that hold the bikes are fairly far apart making it difficult to load anything smaller than a full size bike. We could barely get our child's bike on and had to rig it.
Our rack came with no instructions for attaching this to your vehicle or instructions on how to best load your bikes. I had to resort to YouTube for suggestions from other bike rack owners.
With all that being said, it did keep our bikes safe and secure for 5 hours of highway driving. They didn't budge. And it didn't do any damage to our car.

I wouldn't try this on a new car. :-(

We bought this right before a camping trip so that we would be able to bring all 4 of our bikes with us. We set it up the night before to make sure that it fit and would hold all of our bikes, which it did, but we did not take it for a test drive. I wish we would have. The day we left for camping, we decided to go to Chick-Fil-A for lunch and then head out. I'm glad that we made that decision and didn't go straight to the freeway. As we were in the parking lot, we went over a very small bump and the rack slipped off of the back of the trunk and everything was dragging behind the car (Ford Fusion 2017). I have a really bad back and it was extremely difficult to help my husband try to get the bikes off of the rack and get the rack back up on the car. It left a dent and some small scratches on our brand new car. Our 2 kids and I ended up riding our bikes back home, (which thankfully was only about a mile away), and my husband was able to get his bike back on and he drove back home where we just dropped everything off and went without our bikes.
Beware of the weight
Uri✓ Verified Purchase•July 7, 2016
I had bought it after searching Allen Sport's website to verify it would work with my car (Volkswagen Jetta) After receiving it, before even opening it I decided to make sure that this carrier, with 4 bikes will not damage my car. Lo and behold, I received a warning from my Volkswagen dealer NOT TO USE this carrier as it will be too heavy and might tear apart the trunk lid while driving.
Now I have an unused, unopened carrier that Amazon will not take back and I will not use.
Beware before purchasing, do not trust Allen site and find with your car dealer/manufacturer whether you can use it safely.

Spring for the Premier model
M. Shaheen✓ Verified Purchase•June 8, 2014
I have 4 different size bikes - 1 girls 20", 1 girls 24", 1 girls 26" and a man's mountain bike. The process of getting these 4 bikes onto a bike rack isn't easy. I'm pretty good at it now that I've done it a few times but it still isn't fun. That's the reason I returned this version of the Allen 4-bike trunk rack and purchased the Allen Sports Premier 4-Bike Trunk Rack.
This version has pins that you have to set after unfolding it. The Premier model, however, does not. It simply unfolds and locks into place. This version also has nylon straps to secure each bike. You must thread the strap and tighten. Whereas the Premier model has rubber straps that are very simple to secure.
This isn't a simple process. I am glad that I found a rack that is simple to use so as not to add to the complication. Go for the Premier model.
Note, the hooks on the straps to connect to the car are unprotected metal (on both models). I was afraid this would scratch my paint so I simply covered them with black duct tape. It is thin enough to still allow the hooks to slip in the crack around the trunk but soft and strong enough to not scrape metal-on-metal.
