MY WIFE WAS TRAVELLING NORTH ON INTERSTATE RT 83 TOWARDS YORK, PA IN OUR 2003 SATURN VUE. THE WEATHER WAS LIGHT RAIN WITH THE TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 30'S. THE TIME OF DAY WAS AROUND NOON. WITHOUT WARNING, SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT ROLLED OVER, RESTING ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I VIEWED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER-SIDE REAR WHEEL WAS CROOKED, AS IF THE REAR AXLE WERE BENT. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER-SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY UNUSUAL TO HAVE A BENT REAR WHEEL WITH NO DAMAGE ON THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. NOW I'M WONDERING IF THE WHEEL COLLAPSE DEFECT IS WHAT CAUSED OUR SATURN VUE TO ROLL OVER. *AK
