I collide with a deer yesterday with my brand new Telluride.

Oh man, sorry to see this. Hope you get it fixed like new.

So sorry this happened. Major bummer.

So sorry, please keep us informed of your repairs. Curious how long it takes.

Dang!!! That totally is a bummer. Sorry to hear this! Hopefully the repair process goes smoothly.

Ouch. And on an SX too! Good thing it didn’t crash through your windshield. Did any emergency braking kick in when the deer jumped in front of you? How fast were you going?

 

[CYa]

I hope you at least got a 10 pointer for your trophy room.

Oh deer! (Sorry for the bad pun.. and your luck)

 

[WhiteSX]

Hope nobody was hurt. Good luck with the repair. I'm sure it'll be just fine. Be sure to work with a shop that has experience aligning the lane keep / adaptive tech. Just as important as the body work.

 

[Tellmeride]

God damn it, a life was taken yesterday and you guys are here moaning about a depreciating asset that’s going to get fixed like new by insurance?

I know, sorry, couldn’t resist.

Glad that no one was hurt.

Keep us posted, please.

I receive a call today from the garage and there is a problem with electrical harness that they have to replace because one of the airbag sensor wire broke. Kia will only start the production of this item in maybe 2 weeks and with the shipping to canada my Telluride will be ready....maybe in august.

That has been my worry. Did they give you a loaner?

Yes, I rent a Infiniti QX60 2019 paid by my insurance. It's not too bad but the Telluride is way better in technology and driving feeling.

The deer jump right in front of me and I applied the brake in a second. No time for the emergency braking to go on.

Would if have sucked any less on an EX or LX?

Damn, OP. That royally sucks. I'm sorry this happened and really hope there are not long delays in getting the parts to fix it. I smashed my rear glass a couple weeks ago and it took about a week to get the part and then Safelite installed it a few days later. Keep us posted on how long it takes to get fixed.

No, would have sucked for any model for sure. My only concern was simply availability for SX unique parts having the potential to delay repair even further. I'm hoping for a speedy recovery for both vehicles!!!

Yes, that makes sense. My glass is fixed but now it's at the dealership because the rear wiper and motor are broken, apparently.

Did you take your Telluride to the dealer?? do they perform all the body shop or went thru a third party body shop

Let me know I need a repair on mine unfortunately at the city people are dumber than any deer out there
