Are they the stock oem rims that bent? Pics?my dumb self decided to drive around last week when it was snowing and didt notice there was a huge pothole. needless to say i hit it with both my driver side wheels and they are bent beyond return. now ive noticed a very loud clicking noise in the trans but only in reverse, ill be taking the car into the dealer today hopefully this time they dont say their is nothing wrong with my car.
Yes stock wheels I actually have a video of me driving and you can notice it but in pictures it's not bad at all.
it happens all the time turning or not turning but only in reverse. Cars at the dealer now hopefully everything is covered besides the wheels. I Have another set just threw my stocks on for winter and I'm glad I did that
yes i will when i get home. it wont let me upload it from my phone for some reason so ill move the video to my phone and upload it.
nope they said the insurance has to cover it so now my car is sitting at the dealer like a paper weight until the insurance decides to go and cut the check.
Car would get stuck in 2nd and while driving in 2nd i had to pump the catch to get it to come out. Also there was s grinding noise going into 2nd at times
Must have been a monster pothole. Re the 2nd gear issue it would be helpful to know the Model Year of Si, purchased new or used, mileage.
I actually slid into a curb in the snow but I didn't think it was hard enough to damage anything from the looks of it that's where it all came from. When I noticed the noise was after I hit the pothole so it could of just made it worse. It's a 2014 civic si and has under 5k on it
If you were under power, gassing it as opposed to braking or coasting, it's all related and won't be warranty. Sounds like you killed the suspension, drivetrain, and wheels/tires. Suspension and drivetrain, in normal vehicles, aren't designed to take sideloads and a curb is the worst thing to hit as it takes very little impact "speed" to put tremendous forces on everything. Let us know what the cost is to fix, I'm guessing $5-8 grand. Hopefully insurance covers - be aware that a police report may result in a citation for anything from "failure to keep within marked lanes" to careless operation.
One post up he commented about buying it new. Sucks. Keep us posted
there is no police report the car was drivable i drove it a whole week after the incident. the cost for the trans alone is $4000 in the end everything is coming out to about $6600
