Post accident blues update

[HotHareSpey]

Got my rig back - so nice to be back! Pulls to the right, steering wheel is about a half inch crooked, rear sensors don’t work, rear camera doesn’t work, computer read 12.4mpg (??) bur slowly returning, the lights are pointed at the ground and need readjustment in a big way, but all in all - truck runs nice

im returning it tomorrow and asking them to deal with the pulling to the right and aligning the steering wheel and I’ll have the dealer do the rest

Thats a pretty long list of Shizz ain't right. I would more than likely not be a pleasant return customer.

Yeah it is - and I could be - but given the BS going on nationally my usual rebuke in these situations is taking a back seat

My son got a low speed (15 mph) T-bone on the rt side, $8K in body damage, No frame issues though, and it was repaired and back in 4 weeks.
He was told there were parts backorders but the independent shop managed to find OEM doors, quarter and lower sill. He said it's all good now. Pint apparently matched up ok, I haven't seen it but once.

The unpleasant surprise will be the price you will get at trade-in. Hopefully you got diminished value covered by insurance.

I had mentioned that to him, ball is in his court on that.

I am very happy to have my truck back (not from an accident) after the new steering wheel, new rear window and the next set of new software updates which fixed the battery drain issue (Apparently there was a problem where the computer didn't tell the Alternator to charge. I think this is eTorque related only).

Being understanding is not the same as being affable. I like the owner and trust that he will take care of me and this won’t get ugly or personal in any fashion. He’s on it and I look forward to getting back.

The most reliable car I ever had was a brand new Volvo C70 1998 HPT - after about 12k two of my friends ran it off the road deep into the woods while I was on vacation speeding on sharp loose gravel corner one summer night driving too fast

It took four months to repair and they had to reform the frame among many other things. I drove it for 330,000 miles before selling it. The only thing I ever had to replace was the radiator

I really like my RAM. It held up phenomenally in a head on collision. That gives me a ton of confidence in its durability
