I will send you pictures upon request. The vehicle went over a curb didn't even make a dent or scratch on the body. However there clearance wasn't quite high enough to clear a rock which made a dent in the cradle that holds up the engine and tranny. Did not make the car any less safe or any weaker. That's it. But to repair it which would be crazy since it is no harm and would cost a lot is because you would obviously have to drop the engine and transmission transfer it over to another cradle and re-install. It did nothing to the suspension, frame, or anything else. I did replace the struts not because of accident but they were about due anyway. The cradle is no weaker. You would have to run over something and have it hit the same spot which is only about half foot long and even then it would be questionable as to weather or not it would make a difference as well as a million to one shot it would even come close to the same spot. I will gladly send you pictures. You can decide for yourself. A very nice, clean, good looking and driving SUV. It' s a 5 cylinder Turbo, with a 5 speed automatic w/auto-manual control. It has excellent sound system, stereo controls on the steering wheel, cruise control, power windows & locks, a sun roof, rain sensitive speed wipers front and rear, heated seats for both driver and passenger (as well as power on both sides), leather interior, 3rd row seating, xenon headlamps, and a tow package. For the ultimate in convenience, Homelink allows you to open the garage door, turn on a light in the house, and unlock your front door (if you have a keyless entry pad). AND it has tinted windows that will keep you cooler in summer, and will be kinder to the leather interior.
