What owners wrote
I was involved in a car accident on july 14, 2004 while in my 2004 saturn vue front wheel drive. I was hit on the rear passenger tire area and the back tire bent under the car and my saturn was tipped over and spun around with the drivers side down on the pavement. This was not a high speed accident. I was probably about 20miles per hour and the person that hit was probably between 25-35MPH. My saturn vue sustained about $10,500 damage some of which was the rear suspension.
I was making a left turn when I heard a pop sound so I pulled over on another block so I wouldn't be in traffic. Once I pulled over I can see my tire leaning inwards. Once the car was jacked up with the car jack we could see that the bracket broke off of the lower control arm.
