i know there has to be a few of us on here that have experienced a bump or dent on their new C-HR. figured i would start a new thread to share our stories.

unfortunately my car was hit while it was parked left work and saw a nice big dent in the back corner of the bumper luckily its on the black plastic so its not as noticeable but still there nothing is worse than someone hitting your new car and just leaving. :crying:

That's why i am having a dashcam installed! That did a good job on my previous (also new) car... The perpetraitor was clearly visable, license plate and face included... That was enough for my insurance company to pay the damage.

Paid out of pocket for $900 since I have a $1k deductible.

Plastic parts are cheaper to replace aren't they? But with how increasingly common these things seem to be, I may need to get a rear cam. So far I only have a front one.

If its in the plastic have you tried heating it up and popping it back out? I know the plastic on the lower end of the C-HR can be quite rigid though. This is why we can't have nice things.

The dashcams are a really great thing for this kind of situations actually! Trust me, it is worth it, and I really recommend every single driver to get themselves a dashcam as it is actually a really helpful and useful thing! Honestly, I really hate the situations when people hit and run, that is just stupid and it proves lack of education, at least that is my own opinion. I also faced this kind of situations for a couple of times. Thankfully, I got a really great accident lawyer. The man is working for Abogados de Accidente | The Felicetti Law Firm , they are actually an agency which is specificalized in accidents.

This is why we can't have nice things.

About eight years ago, I left my car in the parking lot because I was too lazy to bring the car to the garage. In the morning, I saw a very, probably even too big dent on the bumper. Of course, I was never able to find out how and who made such a dent on my car. And due to the fact that I did not have insurance, I still have this dent. But exactly after this incident, I decided that I needed to finally find the perfect insurance for myself so that next time I could at least fix my car. It was not so difficult to choose insurance thanks to reviews on insurance on such sites as https://joywallet.com/review-of-farmers/. But it was not easy to find good cameras for the car. I was thinking of installing a camera in front and behind so that I could have a record of incidents in any case.
