| I have a 2009 chevy silverado 1500 crew 4x4. i recently had collision backing out of a parking space. i collided with a toyota camry backing out of a space on the opposite side aisle. we basically hit rear corner to rear corner. my complaint is the extent of damage to the truck on such a low speed collision. visual damage: right bumper end (3 piece outer bumper) is bent in and up slightly. rear of bed side panel is bent in and up slightly rear light is cracked there is a dent(buckle) in the bed side panel above the wheel well, about the size of a hand. 3 estimates: (1 dealer, 1 private shop, 1 gm preferred collision center) parts needed; new rear bumper new bumper re inforcement new tail light new truck bed side panel.(yes, the whole side panel!) estimates for damage repairs; $2600 dealer $2600 private $3200 gm authorized collision center about 50/50 parts & labor this does not include a trailer hitch brace that is most likely bent. due to liability of potential failure, all say if this even looks damaged, will require replacement. add $400. dealer and gm collision center gen mgr say the bumper design of the new silverado body style sucks! the center section of the bumper can take direct, flush ipact just fine. the end sections will be destroyed in even a low speed impact. the killer is the damage to the side bed panels. because the rear of panel is a single wall of sheet metal, un reinforced, it buckles like fabric at even the lightest touch. you could bend it in by hand if you push hard enough. since there is no way to pull out this panel due to its un reinforced sheet metal design, the most cost effective repair is to replace the whole panel. they sell the truck cheap! they make a fortune on replacement parts because of the cheap design quality. word to the wise: get the rear backing sensors! it will save you $3000. it wouldn't help in my case as i still had another moving vehicle. no fault collision. *tr | |||
