Dealing with car insurance companies? Best bet is to get a lawyer.

It's unfortunate, but that's how the system is set up.

Attorney's generally want a cut and in the case of my car, I was rear ended and had a botch repair job through the other company that has left my car totaled and they were refusing to claim responsibility. Because the maximum value for a non-injury accident is equal to the value of the car, attorney's don't want a hand in it. My advice from an attorney was to take the insurance company to small claims for 10k, however my car's value at the time of the accident 2 years ago is 17k. I found out that arbitration wad the way to go but I am unsure of a counter offer; am unsure of what I'm entitled to. Im sure suffrage would play a role, but I'm not sure what else. Taking 2 and a half years to settle a claim seems worthy of more than a 17k replacement. I've been making payments on a car i haven't been able to drive XD

Hope that you can be more active again!

Thankyou ^^ i plan on it

Welcome back, sorry about your grandmother and vehicle.
Get an attorney who will go for their liability, pain and suffering, and perhaps regarding the botched repairs.
Someone once contacted a news show...might be worthwhile if you aren't under a gag order. They're not acting in good faith. *coughs*

We all die, it just sucks we can't choose how. I appreciate your condolences. In regards to my car, I haven't thought about giving the news a shot. I will look into that option thankyou^vv^.

Wondering how you are, and if anything was resolved with the vehicle claim.

I had to install a kill switch on my car :( they didnt accept fault and because my car was rear ended, they tried to blame it on anything but the accident.

A kill switch? Battery drain, or fuel pump? In either case, a rear end collision can pinch wires and cut insulation, creating contact points. Can you still dispute their findings if you find a cooperative mechanic?

Theres a undetectable draw that kills the battery intermittently. It can be 3 days or 2 weeks but by the end it completely deletes the battery. The dealership held only my car for 8 months and were about to auction it until I threw a fit in person about them never contacting me about my car. I have fought up the chain to some sort of agency involved with desputeing claims but because they cannot find the source of the problem they just kept pointing fingers. I dont really know what to do because it was a battle back and forth between like 5 mechanics by the end of it. it even exploded in the parking lot of the dealership and they made me drive it off the lot. ive had the kill switch on there about a year now and it works but i miss popping my trunk with my key fob as well as keyless entry :(

That, honestly, seems like a common problem with many modern vehicles, parasitic drain. It is notoriously hard to find, and can be as simple as a grounded out relay, to the computer (or one of them, and some vehicle diagnostics don't say which one).

The battery exploding (if that's what happened) tells me there's a feedback issue with the charging system. If any of the remote functions were aftermarket, that could be installed improperly, but I'd lean towards the charging system. Batteries don't explode usually without being overcharged, whether gradually, or a sudden surge or arcing.

I'd seriously consider trading it off on a good used vehicle that's been inspected, selling it outright with full disclaimer, or having a reputable mechanic you trust (who isn't in the dealer's pocket and looking out for them) look at it. I don't want you having it go 'splodey with you in it while driving down the freeway.

It could possibly be something that is only on when you turn the ignition off, since it hasn't done something in a year while driving. I'd think an exposed wire or bad relay would have done some arcing or melting of insulation by now and you'd have noticed smoke or an odor. I guess don't park it in the garage without the kill switch.

Hmm...can't be the battery or cables attached to it (depending where you installed the kill switch). Those would have juice in them up to where the kill is. The problem is any collision can tweak the unibody anywhere, and cause an issue.

Edit: Look at the remote start, as that's always "on" and drawing battery, to be able to sense the remote fob. If the starter solenoid is always powered, or the ignition switch is faulty, there could be juice flowing to the alternator electronics as well. That has the effect of draining the battery, but also shorting out charging system components and relays.

what happened with the exploding was something to do witht he AC condenser i believe it was called (front end issue but they fixed it anyway) , but the battery will literally drain over night ~ 2 weeks at random and wont recharge

I should trade it in while i can i agree, I hate looking for cars X3

my car just has the basic unlock and lock key fob

Condenser coils usually don't pop unless something is plugged, or gets too hot. Possibly the evaporator was also plugged, but those should be changed when the condenser is, due to being a filter, basically.

Hmm, then likely not the issue, and I still feel charging system, something in the ignition switch, or a relay / computer being grounded.

Im sorry to hear about your grandmother hun. If you ever want to talk about it or just talk in general, Im always open. IT would be nice to hear from you again :3

Im on telegram if you would like to talk? asherthedragon
