I added a video of cricket sound coming from the wheel. Could that be brake pads related? 8000 miles left on the pads according to the info on the screen. I had absolutely no noise before the accident. I don't even know if that's how it sounds if it was brake pads but I am trying to make sense of this. Hopefully it's the Wheel Bearings and they can change both sides. |

Often insurance will pay those supplement payments directly to the shop, so the insured isn't always involved in supplemental damages.

For one, my insurer did attempt to zelle me payment with cover letter stating "payment in full" and such, so I declined. It is true even closed cases can be reopened but I wanted the shop and insurer to work directly with no extra effort on my part to reopen(etc, etc). https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/f...ectionNum=1526. |

I was able to recreate all 4 noises during the test drive. Mechanic confirmed he heard all of them. They also took notes when we got back to the dealership. They gave me a loaner car this time, so it's going to be less stressful. Mechanic identified one of the noises (on Highway, above 60mph,louder when turning the steering wheel) as coming from the wheel bearing. He couldn't identify the rest. The steering wheel squeaking noise might be another replacement of a part (I am thinking a new rack). |

E.g. in CA, as shown in previously attached link, once a notice is sent, the insurer can issue a check from 15-90 days of the notice. \ Once that check is cashed, the case is settled(i.e. insurer is released from the claim) per accordance and satisfaction code.. That notice is often sent once the claim is filed, and then after 15 days, the insurer can zelle payment to your account and satisfy their obligation in full. |

BMW says noises caused by Front struts and rear-wheel bearings... What do rear-wheel bearings have to do with front end accident? Noises are coming from the front..

Noises are so loud that it's impossible not to hear. I am sure that they weren't there before the accident. Car has very low mileage and I didn't have any issues with any parts before the accident. I guess I also damaged the rear when I crashed. It could be true, it was a pretty serious impact.

Am I the only one here in shock over the deductible? $2000 wowsers!
I can't imagine you're really saving that much money going to such a high deductible. My policy it wasn't even worth it to do $1k so my collision is only $500 and comp like $50.

I pay $350 per 6 months to Geico. I don't know if/how this will change next term because of the accident. Second repair got approved today. Total Cost of repair is at $11,350 currently. Car's value before covid was $11k. |

Nice, hopefully they’ll triple check their work this time. What loaner have you been rocking around lately?

UPDATE 11/11/2021
I went to pick up the car for the second time today. I test drove it before returning the loaner car. 2 of the 4 noises are fixed. Loudest noise is still there (cricket like noise). They lied to me again about road testing the car and not hearing any noises. The noise is so loud that it is impossible not to hear as you can see in the video. Also last month the mechanic drove the car with me and confirmed the existence of all the noises. My advisor left today before I arrived there, they will call me tomorrow. I am having a terrible time with this stealership but I don't know what to do at this point. I and insurance already spent $11k on an 8-year-old BMW. BMW knew this car should have been totaled from the start. But they decided to milk it by fixing it partially and forcing insurance's hand. I don't recommend anybody going to Morristown BMW in NJ. I don’t know what I can do at this point. |

Unfortunately BMW of Morristown is not CCRC(BMW of Springfield is CCRC). The service department of non-CCRC may not have enough experience to deal with collision repair, and may miss critical clues/hints of hidden issues(e.g. any twisted mount points?). It is likely too late to switch shop at this point, so my thinking is to press dealer hard given $11k repair should still come with 2 years/unlimited warranty parts + labor. Another point to note is that, a repair even from the CCRC/best shop is still a restoration hoping to match factory spec, but there is no guarantee of repeating work done by robots in the factory, and that is a fact of life. And a shop estimator that does right thing for the car(e.g. total the car instead of milking customer/insurance) is a hero of the industry. Best of luck! |
