It just never ends
 

My daughter has a ‘10 Jeep, first a couple years ago, diabetic passed out and hit her head on, then my Doosh mechanic didn’t tighten the tie rod and her front end came apart, luckily parking at college, not on the freeway, then same fix, he never put bolts in the caliper, it fell off 6 months later, today I was woke up to ~ Dad, I just hit a deer, totaled my Jeep. Again no one hurt, good thing no one was in the passenger seat. The plastic windshield trim did fly off and hit Jer in the head. But no injury’s. Someone must be watching out for her

Glad your daughter is ok! She is very lucky...

Thanks, other than the bent upper part and windshield, hoof dent in the hood, not much damage. The windshield didn’t fold in like on the older jeeps.
The interior was full of fur, sad, the does baby came back and looked at he mom all messed up.

Glad she is ok.....that is what is most important :)

Very glad she is OK.

I hit a deer going 70 MPH on a highway in New Jersey at night. Traveling along - all of a sudden I see a flash of brown immediately in front of me then nothing - all the idiot lights are lite. Pull over - the whole front end of my 82 Cutlass is totaled. The hood is bent in an inverted "V" which is blocking the windshield.

My friend Lee Miller hit a deer with his 1969 343 Javelin on the NY Quickway (Rt. 17) doing 70 MPH. He hit it just right that the deer came up over hood and went through his windshield. He wound up with a broken arm and shoulder. Other than the windshield - very little damage to his car.

Kids, she said on the way home, good thing we didn’t vac out and clean up the car the other day. Lol

Glad your daughter is okay :)

Good thing nobody was hurt! Just a tip, When you get it back from being fixed, turn on the defroster and the other blowers BEFORE You drive it!

My good friend hit a deer and when it got back from the body shop (while driving home) he turned the defroster fan on full and it shot fine glass particles from the hearer ducts all over the place and in his eyes.
I'm sure they came from both from the deer impact and the window R&R

Hey thanks, there was a ton of fur in there, pooped on the dash too. Actually I dont blame her.

One incident in Wisconsin, a deer crashed through the windshield of a pickup ... the deer wanted out pretty bad and proceeded to kick the crap out of the two in the truck. The deer made it back out through the broken windshield and ran off. The two passengers had some pretty serious injuries.

Find a new mechanic, avoid the past.

Yes, he went out of Buss already. I was t going back anyway, the owner is a good friend, me didn’t work on it, makes you wonder about your employees, I did all my own brake work fir years, never had a problem. Now days, they always put new rotors and pads on. I don’t think they even check them.

Thank God she's Ok, all else just replaceable stuff.
We've looked at a few car/deer mishaps here over the years including this one...

My college roomie owns a body shop in southern IL, years ago they had a car come in that had hit a deer. Deer went thru the windshield and kicked the driver to death before it succumbed to its injuries. Glad your daughter is OK.....time to get rid of that Jeep!!!

Glad your daughter is ok. First thing is strangle that F**ken mechanic and then send him packing for good. I have a diabetic child who also has had blackouts and near misses as a result

Glad she’s ok. Deer can do a lot of damage and hurt, or kill. I could never understand how people could hit deer....until my first one and the two since then.

I hit a turkey with my El Camino last week, smacked the grill, skidded up the hood and when I stopped, he was looking thru the windshield, a foot in front of me and still alive.

$2700 plus in damage.

Guy I knew in high school hit a horse running down the middle of the road one night. In a .... mustang. He ended up with a pretty good gash on his forehead.
Glad your daughter is ok, pretty high hit

Glad your daughter is ok.

Yikes, glad your daughter is alright.

Wow. We have a lot of deer where I live, she said she didn’t expect it out by her moms place. I’m always worried taking the TA out, just this past may I found this in my back yard.

My wife and I are in a road trip to Colorado and two nights ago we saw three giant elk roadside in a desolate part of New Mexico. That made my a$$ slow down. They’re massive animals. I sure glad your daughter is all right.
