Actually, I shouldn't say that. I've never had the problem you're describing.

The problem I do have is that the tow hooks (or transit hooks) pose a high likely hood of breaking the lip or front bumper cover.

My lower lip cracked so I just cut that part of the lip out.
You can attach the hook to a winch and pull the car onto the back of a flat bed. That's fine. I've done that many times.

If you tried to tow with that hook, like pull the car at speed with all 4 wheels on the ground, or with one end in the air held up by the hook, you will snap it.

If you get a chance to disassemble a bumper support, especially the rear one, take a look at the structure of those hook. I think you'll think twice before towing with them.
