  1. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    So I was in a small accident today and rear ended someone at probably about 3-5mph. His car was fine we didn't even exchange info. But now I have a big hole in my bumper and a crack and one of the clips on the side broke off. Thankfully all the components are good. fog lights DRL and headlights...
  2. The Service Center
    Hello fellas... I have a weird issue with my 2013 Optima LX. I was driving 15mph in traffic when all of a sudden my breaks didn't work and I hit the back of a truck. His truck was not damaged but my driver side fender got damaged badly. I had been driving the car since I got it(3 months ago)...
  3. Interior and Exterior Modifications
    So a few nights ago, a lady in front of me did an illegal u-turn and my cars front end was damaged ratherly severely. Had an estimate but they need to tow it on the rack to get a better look at the suspension. Anyways, my one aftermarket headlight was damaged (Welcome to mod life). It was the...

    Hello, I was recently involved in an accident. I was rear ended. I don't believe my car will be totaled. But because my car is a lease, how will this affect me? Even if the car is repaired back to manufacturer specs, will the car be worth signicantly less than the same car with no accident...
  6. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Had some old broad (close to the century mark) make a left turn while I was going straight and she hit me. The optima is still in good structural shape (thank god) but the drivers side is pretty messed up (both doors, both wheels, and 3 panels). Like aforementioned, this is my first accident...
  7. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Accident details: I stopped, then 2 cars behind me hit eachother and the second car (I was car #1 in a 3 car accident) hit me from behind since car #2 was pushed into my car. Hopefully that is enough I need to say. Anyways cops came with all three drivers still there, info was exchanged, and the...

  10. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Was driving around the mall trying to get out of the parking lot and this person obviously wasn't paying attention. I was going slow and it looked like he was going to wait for me to pass since he stopped (you know how it is), but nope, decides to go right when I'm in front of him. I don't know...
  11. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I don't know if this will do anyone any good but i was recently rear ended while sitting at a red light.... I wanted to show you guys the after crash and post repair pics, but more importantly the detailed parts list with prices which i think might interest some of the more hardcore. Total cost...

    4k miles on my 2013, and had to lock up the brakes. Good times. I hope they got to the grocery store a few seconds earlier than they would have otherwise! Or at least had some stains to clean up... Oh, and excuse the music - my daughter got to pick today. --BL
  13. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Driving home from work today and got into my first accident in the optima. :( was turning left onto a two lane road. the other party, a lieutenant commander, was turned right from a stop sign, i didn't have a stop sign. next thing i know it i hear a boom my side mirrors folded up. i got out...
  14. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Man, I knew I should have worked from home today. Had a gut feeling too. Basically I exited I-75 onto Fletcher and the merge is really small. Also, the construction that's going on doesn't help either. There were so many cars when this happened, cars coming from I-75 and the oncoming traffic...

    Bought a 2012 Optima EX on 12/30/11. Accident occured on 2/7/12. My question to those who have been in accidents is how much value is lost from being in an accident? I was rear-ended and current damage estimate is $5k.
  16. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    As I was driving to my cousins house on Saturday morning about 6am I hit a raccoon. The lil fooker was already half way across the road then double back across the road. I was already going about 30-35 so I wasn't speeding. I would have hit the breaks but there were cars behind me and I couldn't...
