Well... it's been a while since I've been on this forum. I just wanted to follow up on my iMiev accident. Unfortunately, my insurance company totaled the car. I loved that car. It was too difficult to find anyone who was qualified to work on it or to find the parts. Even the local Mitsubishi...

@jray3, About the accident: I was stopped at a red light. There were four lanes: the two outside lanes are turning lanes. I heard brakes screeching behind me and before I could look into the rear view mirror I was hit. My iMiEV was pushed in the right turning lane and ended up at the entrance...

@Phximiev, Thanks that makes me feel better. How long did it take to get it fixed? I read your post about the rental. I was trying to get them to give me an EV rental but they said that they weren't available. I have a Nissan Versa for my rental. It's new but it sounds loud. I guess anything...

@PV1, Thanks I'm glad you agree it's fixable. I will let you know how it goes. I'm hoping that you're right about the electric drive system. I don't want another car. I love my iMIEV. :D

@PV1, I've tried to upload pictures to answer you questions. Hopefully you will get them. I don't think the body was actually damaged. It was mostly the fender. Some small damage to the rear hatch but it still opened/closed. Hope that the pictures will give you a clearer idea of the damage...

@Phximiev, Thanks, I've emailed and waiting to hear from them. I wanted to put in writing so there would be a paper trail.

@wmcbrine, Why would you say that? It was almost drive-able. The rear fender had bent so it was rubbing on both of the tires. Otherwise it seems okay. The airbags didn't deploy. Its valued at $6K-$8K depending on what site you use but I doubt there was that much damage. By the way, I did reach...

Hello all, I drive a 2012 iMIEV and unfortunately I was rear-ended on Sunday 5/7 in Durham, NC (less than two miles from home). The insurance company had it towed to a body shop with in their "Guaranteed Repair Network". The body shop was supposed to appraise the damage and then with the...

Thanks so much, Dave! That worked wonderfully. rkarl89203, I already love it so glad to get one off lease and traded in my old has guzzler.

Hello, I'm happy to say I purchased a 2012 Mitsubishi I-MiEV with a Navi and back up camera on Saturday 6/20. LOVING it! Can anyone tell me how to change the time on the Navi? It's an hour behind but I can't figure it and of course there wasn't a manual when I bought it. Thanks!
