Karen, this had nothing to do with the vehicle . just be glad she is alright ( you did not say otherwise ) . Vehicles of any kind do not do well when driven into curbs. ---

Drunk or distracted, she still hit a curb. That will do damage to nearly any car. ---

I agree with the comments above. This is not unexpected for any vehicle driven into a curb. ---

> [@KarenPerkins](#): > > hit the curb blew the tire out and it busted and axle is that a common situation with these vehicles Why blame the vehicle for being a bad driver. Tell her to call Uber if she is going to party. Yosemite ---

Accidents happen. I have a friend in her 60s that is a good driver and a non drinker. She was distracted while driving her Mercury Milan and did exactly the same thing.
