1. A system for monitoring structural integrity of a vehicle, comprising:
a plurality of piezoelectric transducers positioned in the vehicle configured to generate transducer data, wherein at least one of the plurality of transducers is positioned at an interconnect between a vehicle frame and a vehicle fascia, and wherein the at least one transducer captures interconnect data indicating strain at the interconnect;
a data acquisition module configured to receive the transducer data and generate combined transducer data; and
a processor configured to:
process the combined transducer data;
identify outlier data, wherein the outlier data indicates a change in the structural integrity of the vehicle; and
detect a vehicle structural issue based on the outlier data.
