Wife got in an “accident” on Friday. She was driving down the highway behind a big semi truck. Apparently there was a large car or truck jack in the middle of the highway and she never saw it. The semi in front of her must of just gone over it without any issues, but by time she saw it, she couldn’t miss it and ran over it. immediately heard loud noise, and had hard time driving so she pulled over. the jack was wedged under the car and stuck in the oil pan. There was oil everywhere and had to call a tow truck to take to Nissan dealership.
Dealer called her back on Saturday but I didn’t get to talk to them… but the guy is saying she needs a whole new motor! Which I think is ridiculous. What she said he said was, since all the oil drained out, and she continued to drive it (which I went and saw where it happened, she went MAYBE 200-300 yards)… that there is probably metal shavings in the motor now and will need to be replaced.
Im thinking she just needs a new pan and oil and we can just do an oil change in a couple hundred miles to flush out anything in there…
What you think?
They are sending out an insurance adjuster this week, so not sure what he will say. But apparently we have crappy insurance and have had it for a long time and never knew because we have never had to use it. Our delectable is $1500 which i have never even heard of!! and we have no rental car on our policy. So if she needs a new motor, we are out $1500 and who knows how long it will take to complete, so out more money for a rental for a couple weeks. If it just needs a pan, we can have that done this week and alot cheaper.
