With no damage or scratch whatsoever to the front bumper and license plate of my 2001 Mazda van after I hit a pole lightly in a parking lot, I found out that the reinforcement behind bumper was cracked open and the condenser and radiator assembly behind it was severely damaged. I wonder how this kind of damages to the reinforcement, condenser, and radiator could happened when I have no damage whatsoever to any outside parts. I wonder if the reinforcement had any inherent structural problem with a serious implication for the safety of the car. If you can investigate such situation and possibility, it would be much appreciated. I can provide pictures of the damages if required.

While driving on highway, traveling at 60-70 mph, and driving behind an 18 wheel truck, vehicle will become harder to control due to wind pressure. Contacted dealer, and the dealer is not willing to do anything.
