Very long story cut as short as I could whilst not leaving anything out. Need opinions on what to do?
January 11th I left work and immediately was hit by someone running a light
We both have Progressive but he was considered 100% at fault
March 31st I finally get my "fixed car" after $11500 in damage repairs.
I go to pick the car up and it has a broken windshield when it wasn't even broke during the accident
Progressive adjuster says windshield was fine and so does Performance. So I take the car and drop off rental while they figure out who's paying because I'm not
Half a day driving 'fixed' car and at 4:40 AM my CEL, oil light, TPMS sensor, battery light, and others come on and the car obviously goes limp and dies a few miles from home.
My 70 year old dad comes and helps me push it up hill into a parking lot to get towed in AM
Adjustor calls on behalf of shop saying they can't find anything wrong and all is well but they'll send it to dealer to get 2nd opinion ONLY IF I AGREE TO PAY if it's not accident/repair related.
Dealer says it's all the sensors above are magically bad at same time. New wiring harness is installed correct and it's unrelated.
Dealer then calls 1 hour later saying actually they don't think the sensors are bad but it's the key because it's not OEM and replacing the wiring harness is what caused the key to not work anymore.
Progressive and Performance say this is unrelated even though admitting it's because of the new wiring harness and they've done their job and I'm on my own.
So they're saying to bring back the rental, I owe $180 to the dealer for the inspection, $400 for the key, and possibly $500-700 for sensors also.
I've tried calling everyone I had #s for and only one guy involved picked up. The adjustors supervisor wouldn't even return my call today.
What would you guys do? Just pay it all and take it up the *** when this is at least SOMEWHAT caused by the repairs? I don't see how it matters that my key that came with the car isn't OEM. It worked for a year and a half great. But because it's not OEM it's deemed unrelated?
Wtf
