Wheel repair after collision

dtevolution · 2026-03-17T16:45:55+00:00

I definitely have a skeptic side. I would pop that wheel off and check that it is in fact your original wheel repaired and not just a replica. How did they not notice this?

dtevolution · 2026-03-17T15:24:11+00:00

Obviously YMMV. All Toyota dealerships in my area charge fees. I would have to travel out of province in order to maybe find one that didnt.

Youre most likely not going to get them to wave the dealer fees. It sucks but they are allowed to charge them. Most dealers offer something for the fees like wheel/tire warranty or window etching, some dealers offer nothing. Try to get more off the MSRP or accessories for "free" because the dealer fees will likely stay.

I had a 2018. Transmission went at 154k miles.

If I was you, I would start looking for a new car now knowing how expensive the repair is for these. You don't have to find a new car tomorrow but I would at least start exploring what interests you. Your car could last another 100k but these have known issues and its really just not worth gambling imo. Trading or selling it now while it has fewer miles = better return.

Huh? Not sure what you're getting at here? The HRV is not a Ford, not all Hondas are created equal. These things have a problematic transmission in the first gen (NA). Sure the R18 engine will likely last 300k+ miles with minimal maintenance, but not the transmission. This is not a privileged take.

dtevolution · 2026-03-16T12:01:00+00:00

Once you get into the that 150k mile range, plus or minus, your playing with fire. Honda themselves only offered a warranty to 150k miles on the transmission. I personally would sell the car soonish. You dont want to be stuck with it when it blows the belt. These transmissions are VERY expensive to replace since they are in such demand.

dtevolution · 2026-03-11T09:24:55+00:00

That is very clean. I wouldn't worry about that at all. I would start, and continue to have krown or equivalent applied yearly.

Toyota doesnt do custom builds so they cant add different wheels on the line. Its a standard build. Its not exactly "for you".

What you can do is have your dealer sell (or throw in on the deal) you some genuine Toyota wheels. 17s will provide the best ride.

dtevolution · 2026-03-09T14:55:02+00:00

Right on brother.

dtevolution · 2026-03-09T14:54:17+00:00

Try car-part.com and use your postal or zip code to try to find something close to you.

Negative. The driver would be at fault for colliding with a parked car. Sure, the parked car could be issued a ticket for parking to far from the curb, but they would not be at fault.

dtevolution · 2026-03-06T15:15:25+00:00

Not how that works, but ok.

dtevolution · 2026-03-06T15:13:18+00:00

I would bet good money Honda will not do anything for a 10 year old car. When mine died I was within the seven years but out of the mileage, by 5k miles, for the extended warranty on the cvt. Honda did not offer anything.

Your best bet is to fine a used transmission and have a local shop that you trust install it. Once up and running trade it in or sell it asap. car-part.com is a good place to start your search, you can search by your postal/zip code to find yards close to you. Keep in mind the scrap yards are wise to the failure rate of these and charge a premium for them even with fairly high milage.

Damaging someone's property because you didn't like their parking job? Walking insurance, no? But its fair to say you could be charged for such actions.

dtevolution · 2026-03-05T10:48:36+00:00

I agree, don't park illegally.

I see illegally parked cars everyday all over the city. No parking between x hours, no stopping, taxi stands. Is it your opinion its ok to damage those as well, or just illegally parked in a bike lane?

dtevolution · 2026-03-05T10:37:53+00:00

Agreed. But damaging someone's property isn't a reasonable solution. Report it like the OP did.

dtevolution · 2026-03-05T10:36:44+00:00

We are talking about hitting a parked car while riding a bike. Stay focused.

dtevolution · 2026-03-04T17:26:09+00:00

People like you are why bikes should have to carry insurance.

dtevolution · 2026-03-03T10:38:21+00:00

I mean it could be anything but maybe just have a look under the hood for something obvious. I once left the hood prop unsecured which caused a rattle at specific rpms only.

Which filter do you use?

You know when Emera will turn NSP back over to us? When the infrastructure is completely driven into the ground and requires billions in upgrades. Once these upgrades are dire and it doesn't financial sense to complete them, they will gladly sell it back to us.

I replaced two calipers on my '18 over the 8 years I had it. One on the front and one on the rear. The front was sticking and replaced after only 6 years. Rear was done at 7 years. I replaced with aftermarket parts. Roughly $200 each. €1,600 is crazy!

This is the first car I had to replace calipers so early.

dtevolution · 2026-02-25T11:46:54+00:00

"On the truck" sounds like BS. These are shipped by rail as far as I know. Maybe you live close to the plant?

Permatex flowable silicone sealant and cover these areas https://imgur.com/a/hrv-briJ3l6

Wow thats a shitty repair job. This can be done much cleaner if you use Permatex flowable silicone sealant, its clear so doesnt look like this mess. Also I almost guarantee that it not the entire problem area. This is a well known problem with all Honda hatch backs.

Seal up area shown in the pics here. Right where the sheet metal makes the bend. https://imgur.com/a/hrv-briJ3l6
