Body problems of the 2002 Saturn LS

While backing up, the entire left front of the vehicle fell off, dragging on the ground. If this had occurred going forward at highway speeds, a fatal accident would almost certainly have occurred. Maintenance personnel at place of purchase discovered an indentation on a fiberglass cross member. They claimed that contact with an object while backing, either at time of incident or earlier, caused sufficient damage to front end to eventually result in total front end failure. In my opinion, and even assuming contact was the cause of failure, damage was so minor that on any safely built vehicle, it would probably have gone unnoticed.
