Got into a hit and run today, dude hit me spun me around and he took off. I slammed the curb hard and wheel is about 45 degrees off but I saw where he tried to pull off and hide and found him. Got out and he was speaking Spanish, I was pretty pussed and demanded insurance and he said no... Said I'm calling the police and he took off on foot! Rear wheel is bent, leaning over and all stability track and lights are on. Tried to limp it home 2 miles away but the rear was all over the place going 10, dont know how I drove it after he hit me. Just sucks I park a mile away, 3 years old no dents or scratches and now this.

i didnt post any photos but i got hit by a semi truck a few weeks ago almost in the same place as you


quarter panel bumper and diffuser had to be replaced


with paint and parts and labor came out to about $7k but only took about 2 weeks for repairs



diode dynamics was nice enough to send me a replacement sidermarker at no cost!

Damn! Something is messed up with the diff I think, service stabilitytrackit up as well as service suspension. Damn an 18 wheeler! Mine was a mid 90 lifted truck, paper tags that were for a 1973 chevy, beer cans falling out of it. Glad your ok, mine wasn't at a high speed but still sucks. I was thinking 10k or so.

yea we were only going 5-10mph on a side street i was going straight he slowed down and i went around him and he turned into me good thing is insurance will take care of it for you bad thing you is may have to get a lawyer if he doesnt have insurance and was drunk

Don't think they caught him yet, he literally left his shit and took off on foot when I found him. I have uninsured motorists insurance, in Texas you need it. Aholes come up here and start driving with no license or insurance and I have to pay 250 deductible to fix my car

sucks man. sorry to hear.

glad it wasn't worse and your ok. I'd say glad the dude that hit ya was ok but once they run, I cease to care.

Sorry for the bad luck. The stabilitrack light is the yaw sensor, it goes out of calibration when spun "involuntarily ". The other light I am hoping is another sensor rather than a hard suspension component, but as I said I'm hoping/ guessing for you. Sorry bud

Wish you the best of luck.
Mine got rear ended after only seven months ownership by un-insured driver.

Pic looking back. Wheel definitely sticking out in the front too far. Pulled the wheel and nothing looks bent, ill let them figure it out Monday. Storms coming and my luck it would get hailed on sitting at the body chop lol

Sounds like Larry the Cable Health Inspector truck lol.


For the Spanish speaking driver who fled not much you can do. Probably doesn't have coverage and I gotta wonder if the car was stolen as well then. Your insurance will have to eat the cost of repairs.


If by some miracle he does have insurance demand a diminished value check as well.


My 2012 5.0 I got into two accidents on it and didn't get no checks for it. They were not bad ones though but they still dinged a little off my trade in for it.

Well......I would have but didn't want to go to jail. I had my fist drawn back and was close but he was old and I had a moment of weakness, if I started it would have been an ambulance and a wrecker. They impounded the truck and Arlington was looking for him, they were camped out hidden waiting. Ask how I know lol

Police said stolen more than likely, im sure an illegal alien as well. Not to get political but Bidens border stance we in DFW have seen a massive increase Hispanics. Not saying anything bad, my wife is Hispanic but there has been an increase.
Didn't know about diminished value. Thanks

Floriduh is terrible is uninsured drivers, illegal aliens driving, stolen cars, etc.


The old 90 year old who hit me had progressive and the claims adjusted was a pr*ck when I finally was able to get a hold of him. basically a pia process to ask for the check. For a check that would have probably been just a couple hundred bucks it would have cost more in lawyer fees to get them to get a check for me. If it was something like 3 grand in damages hell yes I would go for a check then.
