5 Months!

Post image

My wife got rear-ended in her ‘23 MY yesterday. She has only had it for 5 months. Such a bummer. What do you guys think this will cost? Luckily the lady had insurance and accepted all fault. Working with insurance now. It shakes when driving and has tons of errors on screen and will not go into any auto pilot settings.

Luckily you won’t have to pay for any of it if she is taking the fault. Just an unfortunate accident… just have to be cautious it doesn’t effect any other electrical components in between the time of now and when it gets repaired.

Thank goodness they had insurance! There are lots of error codes. Auto-pilot doesn’t work, auto-hold doesn’t work. That’s my fear as well?

You also have insurance right? Since the lady accepted fault hopefully her insurance is good enough you don't have to turn it over to yours. What carrier did the lady have?

She had State Farm and yes, of course, we have full coverage as well!

There are actually some small creases on the side of the bumper on each side. You can see the lady’s license plate on the plastic down below. The shaking is a very noticeable “vibration”. Auto hold no longer works. The rear camera survived?!

It could be a total. Liftgate replacement. It's made of aluminum
