So my good buddy had a little incident with his trailer. He had to get his new to him SUV repaired at his expense. He gets the car back and goes to the trailer repair shop that is fixing his trailer. While there, his SUV gets hit out in the parking lot. Looks like someone tried to pull in too close and messes up the left rear fender.
I ask if he got his car back after a week and a half. No.
Turns out the bumper got dinged enough to mess up the rear driver side radar sensor that works with the reverse automatic braking system and the blind-spot detection so it had to go back to the dealer to get that calibrated. When they went to blend the paint they wanted to remove the roof rail since a part of the fender up there got bent some and needed body work. Well, the roof rail is put on from the INSIDE, so they have to take out the headliner to do that.
To get the headliner out you have to remove the windshield. Once they got that out, they noticed a chip which wouldn't allow them to reinstall it, so, off to the dealer for a new one, oh, and calibration of the EyeSight Safety System as well.
He's about beside himself with all this. But, he loves the car.
