Another Mach-E Crash Report and Repair Cost Estimate

[Earplug]

Not my fault. Other driver blew a stop sign. Couldn't stop in time. The irony is that just 10 minutes earlier and 4 miles away she rear ended a Tesla! No airbags and no injuries. No, the driver was not impaired.

999.4 miles on my MME. Initial repair estimate $16,621.98.

Oh no! Mine hit 1,000 miles on my way home from the accident. Really sucked making that first payment while it was in the shop. And now, I've owned it for about 10 weeks and 6 of those, it has been in the shop.

Where are you having it repaired?

Sorry to hear! Good to see you're ok. Nice to see the car seems very good, crash-safety-wise! (A Tesla would have caught fire!?)

Just happened Saturday in Lucerne, CO. We were on our way back from Cheyenne. About 960 miles at the accident location, 999.4 when getting home. Just left yesterday for Sill-TerHar.

FYI - the tow driver says he has taken quite a few MME's (and other Ford's) from the rail depot to Sill-TerHar. He said there is a lot of damage that occurs on the trains in transit. They don't chock them properly and get a lot of front and read damage.

Wow. And I presume she went on to hit a Chevy Bolt ten minutes after your accident, and then Nissan Leaf another ten minutes after that? And she's still out there terrorizing random EV drivers every ten minutes?

Seriously though, I hope she's off the streets for a good long time. And if she was experiencing an extreme emotional event of some type, well I hope she's getting help.

And I'm glad you are okay!

So sorry to hear it. Don't be surprised if the cost goes up. My hood wasn't involved and the total was over $10K.

Yikes, sorry that happened but glad you're okay! Out of curiosity, did you notice if the emergency braking tried to engage at all?

Was she high?

I almost took mine to SIl-Terhar. They are one other other Ford dealers with an in-house body shop. Mine is at O'Meara. They've been great.

Sorry - I'm glad everyone is ok - but that beautiful car! Well hopefully it ill be fixed quickly and back to new. Makes me feel bad for having complained about a windshield rock chip!

That's awful but so glad your okay! I know our cars have "collision prevention assist' but what is supposed to do? Our F150 has it as well and someone pulled out in front of my spouse and still a collision? I wonder what scenario that technology would avoid an accident?

Don't forget to request DV claim and keep as many pictures as you can. When you go to sell it, or
Colorado has a long history of allowing diminished value claims in third-party car accident actions. ... Colorado law allows you to collect compensation not only for the costs of restoring your vehicle to a drivable condition but also for the fact that your vehicle is reduced in value.
This is especially valuable the newer the vehicle is.

Oof. I feel for you. I'm curious how the frunk held-up in the crash? I've been wondering if things in the frunk are likely to get damaged badly in a head-on.

That's interesting. Even if it didn't have time to stop the vehicle before impact, I would think that it would have at least activated.
