What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[vipeboy2000]

I find it disgusting when there is work on the roads that leaves nails and shrapnel and other debris laying around that damage vehicles...

possibly claim to Tdot... i'm looking into it Claims as i have dash cam footage of it as well..

Road construction left a 3 inch sharp edge on the interstate where they stopped digging out the old asphalt .. like wth, who thinks it's fine to leave such a sharp edge on the road ... Completely ripped two holes in the sidewall and may have bent the wheel a tiny bit on the inside . Not sure yet ..

Man you cant win right now. Time to move....you cant beat the construction process. Its Its always going on there. Thats sux homie

I knew this was going to be a hassle and that's why I waited as long as I did to finally claim the windshield replacement on my insurance. Then I also had the expectation that with all the shortages due to COVID that it would be even worse to try to get new parts. Nothing about windshield replacements seems to be simple anymore. If I had a basic vehicle (like my older Honda Accord that I replaced with my Stinger) with no HUD or sensors I would have just gone with the aftermarket non-OEM windshield and been done with it.

Finally got my windshield replaced today. Total damage was just under $1,500 to State Farm. I paid a $50 deductible.

We don’t have top hook anchors for a proper cargo net unlike certain models, so I retrofitted my old 2003 Nissan Maxima cargo net abs mounts and tada, I now have a functional cargo net up front at the opening.

Hoping it works out better for you than it did for me in NY state. Had a similar problem where roadwork wasn't marked properly and I destroy both passenger side wheels and tires on my old WRX. Also bent a lower control arm and bracket. While on the side of of the road waiting for a tow I witnessed at least 5 other cars blow out their tires on the same thing (I wish I had a traffic cone)

Went through Insurance and had them go after their DOT. NY told them to pound sand basically. At least I had a low deductable though, was more annoying to have the car out of service for 3/4 of the month.

In NJ you can go after them on state roads but you have to prove that they already knew about the pothole or whatever. I’m not sure how you prove that unless you personally hit it twice.

Report it to them Monday.... make the claim Friday

One problem is probably evidence. I've heard of insurance companies going after the state on really bad sections that are not maintained, but you need pictures, dates, statements, etc. The state will just blow it off if there isn't enough evidence to make a case.

Worst part of my incident was the heavy rain at the time covered up the crater that was in the road. In retrospect I should have taken pics of everything.

I did a tire rotation with my square setup after 5,500 miles, gave the car a wash, and put a new "Northern Illinois University" decal on my rear window since my previous one was flaking off after the very hot summers and sun blasting it.
