Low speed impact damage by Ford Expedition. Wife was going about 5 mph in heavy Dallas traffic when hit by Exhibition. Bumper is a loss and trunk is damaged, too. Thougt there was protection in low speed impacts; guess not.

Let me guess, person behind her was on their phone texting or putting on makeup

OUCH! Good luck with the repair.

sorry to hear that. given the number of sensors in the bumpers, have you seen any effect on things like parking sensors or rear view camera? I always worried that small fender-benders could get very expensive given the number of sensors in this car

Called my Acura sealer. They don't even have a body shop. They send Acuras to a Honda dealer in S. Fort Worth.
Still waiting to hear from insurance co.of the guy who hits us.

It looks like they will be able to fix that fairly easily. Hopefully it comes back looking good as new. And hopefully repair doesn't take too long. Super annoying getting rear ended. There really isn't much you can do to avoid that.

That sucks, easily $3000 right their in damaged, probably up to $5,000 or more!

It may have been a low speed impact but the momentum of the mass with very late braking will result in that type of damage.

Cars and be fixed or replaced. Hope your wife in fine.

Luckily everyone was ok. Hopefully they do a good job on the repair. Let us know how it goes.

 

[DFWGuy]

Camera works fine. Main problem was closing the trunk.

I guessed about $3k. The adjuster came by today and said it would be a 2 day job, the repair cost would be $1,697, and they would use all new parts since the car was less only 2 months old.

Very true, all depends on how it went down with many factors and change the impact and severity of it all.

That is a good price, assuming new parts are bumper and trunk lid. Maybe they can get them prepainted from the factory.

glad to hear that everyone is ok. that's alot less than i would have guessed to get it fixed. i know you can buy pre-painted front bumpers from acura.

I'm betting that $1600 turns into $4-5000 by the time it's done. There's always stuff you can't see behind the panels, and given how new the vehicle is, the repair shop will fix it to original condition. The hardest part will be the days/weeks without the TLX while you drive a rental until parts come in and repairs are completed

 

[DFWGuy]

I'm sure you're right . I'm picking the body shop; they said at least 5 days. Enterprise will provide a rental car. We mostly drive my MB anyway.

 

[MTD]

That does seem cheap.

This was a $1900 repair lol.
