Re: Our FEH was T-Boned by a T-bird
Have someone (who knows what to look for) follow your repaired FEH in another vehicle.
They will be looking for that "turtle-walk", that is indicative of a non-straight frame. It's probably fine, but you want to know for sure, and now!
I hope everything is truly back to normal.
And do let us know if you have any luck with getting $$$ for "diminished value."

Re: Our FEH was T-Boned by a T-bird
Hi Mike;
I just joined this forum, and am getting up to date on the threads. How is your wife doing, and what was the outcome of your FEH wreck? Did they, or didn't they total it? Are you satisfied with the repairs/replacement? And if replacement; did she stay with the Escape?

Overall it will probably end up a B+.. The Ford dealer
tried to put only one new tire on and it wasn't a EcoPlus.
their tire supplier "said" they weren't available... Next
morning I found 2 within 10 miles in 5 minutes on the phone. I had to talk
my adjuster into 2 tires, for uniform wear... Also, dealer tried to pass the damaged wheel, with a flat spot and a new silver paint job off as a "remanufactured" wheel... Car drives like before, tracks and brakes straight..
There were quite a few parts replaced over 30 I think, more than $3500..
Labor was over $5500.. All paid for by my insurance co. and us.. Hopefully
recovered from AAA, who is paying for the rental car.. The FEH is now up for sale, anybody have an idea what they are going for repaired or original with 20K miles, leather upgrade package..
Next chapter/verse: negotiations with the evil AAA empire... I've already talked 3 of their insureds into new insurance with the nicer/gentler Geico..
Thanks again
Mike

According to this writer, you're lucky you didn't get electrocuted... (sigh--hybrid misinformation, say it ain't so!)
