Glad you are OK. Sorry for the bad luck. Hope they fix it to your satisfaction and soon.
Got rear-ended on highway I must say I was impressed
So the other day was driving the #1 in BC between Chilliwack and Langley. This highway is horrible for bumper to bumper traffic. Driving can go anywhere from 100KM > 60> 0 > 60 >0 in seconds. So needless to say I am diligent in watching in front of me so I don't hit the person in front. So on one of these 60>0km times, I stopped and the kid behind me hits me at around 40 km/hr. From the sounds of it I am thinking the whole backend is crushed and the hatch is pushed in. Luckily the person that hit me was in a Jeep Patriot and it was a bumper to bumper hit.
On the outside it looks not bad, it will need a new bumper skin but I am assuming most of the damage is to the bumper bar underneath. The hatch alarm goes off saying it is open or ajar if I don't slam it shut, so I'm assuming there is some frame issues as well....
My insurance came back with $2700 CAD damage. I'm now waiting on the parts to come in. Body shop guy says he is having issues getting Hyundai body parts in lately... So guess we wait.
So the morale is this little SUV can take a punch....

trying to make a left turn here in Illinois a lady blew the intersection at probably 40 mph hit me at the drivers bumper sounded horrible like you said I thought the whole thing too would be totaled and went out the bumper is moved to the right so it obviously has to be done to collision repair shop but only a few dents of paint is intact that’s what we were saying he can take a little punch
