  1. Went to start my 04 C4 Cab on Sunday. It made awful noise. Determined that it was coming from power steering pump. Checked and found fluid was low. Turned engine off to await call to dealer. Woke up monday morning and there was a puddle under left front wheel. Had it towed in. Today they tell me that seal on steering rack blew. Likely cause is a miscasted rack. New rack ordered, but it will likely be tuesday before parts are in. Anyone ever heard of this happening? Is there anything else I should worry about or have them check?
  2. Approximately what does it cost to add PSE if not originally ordered?
  3. Thanks everyone for all your advice. I am an attorney, so I knew the law. I needed all your tech help to argue the facts. Here we get diminished value if there is structural damage. If you replace the broken parts, no diminished value claim under my state's law. They measured my tire at 90% left so I guess replacing one will be ok. The dealer is going to do the repairs. We don't have any high-end european body shops here. My old boss had them fix the body on his porsche and it looked good when they were done. I am going to push them on replacing the wheel. I did not get a rental, but am going to submit a bill for loss of use. Since my car is leased, I was thinking of asking for the lease payment calculated on a per day basis. I think it would be hard from them to argue that. Still holding my breath on the mechanical problems.....
  4. My 04 C4 Cab. 6 speed was hit by someone running a red light last week. She hit the rear wheel. Scratches on wheel and on plastic to the right of wheel. When I tried to drive it traction control would engage and a bunch of warning lights would also come on. Had it towed to dealer. This is a nearly new car with 3.k miles. She hit it hard enough that the roll bars ejected. 1. Insurance company wants to send the wheel off to have scratches repaired. What are the consequences of them doing this? Do I have the basis to object? I.E. am I going to end up with something less than I had? 2. They seem to think that they can repair the gouges on the rear skirt. The adjuster said that because it is plastic it won't be a problem. Is this something that can be done without making the car look repaired. Will it last or is it something I should insist on getting replaced? 3. They are going to look at the mechanical problems. Is there anything I should have them check that is not obvious? 4. One of the tires has a gouge in it. They are going to replace. Is it ok to replace only one rear tire? Thanks.
  5. I have had USAA since I turned 16. The thing with USAA is that they regularly return part of your premium every year once they see how claims have gone. Some years its has been almost 1/2 the annual premium. They had good claims service too the one time I had to use them. I just added my C4 Cab, and the increase was much less than I had imagined. With respect to the comments about insurers that will fight to the end, this is not always the case. You don't want an insurer that will fight to the end when you are going to lose. The last thing that you want to do is spend a week or two at trial in a case where you are at fault and the insurer is refusing to settle. Insurers that do this end up paying more in claims and defense costs which will translate into higher rates. I agree about asking plainiffs' attorneys in your area.
