What owners wrote
My wife was involved in a fatal accident on july 2, 2006. She was a promising micro-biologist whom worked on cures for ovarian cancer. She was ran off a road by another driver and sent into a line of trees in our buick rendezvous (2002 cx). The driver-side headlight made direct contact with one tree and the force opened the driver's side door allowing it to be "ripped" off the hinges.
