So I hit a dog

Question, had a dog run out in front of me going about 55 mess up my fender a bit but now my car is reving like crazy when in parked. What's going on ?

maybe it was a greyhound! Sad for the dog.

is this your 2018? if so you need to get it on a scan tool and or check wiring to all sensors, one of the sensors likely isn't right if it took a roll underneath and busted an O2 sensor wire and now you show low fuel all the time it will feed it more causing revving

Radiator fan clutch?

Sorry man!!

Was a lil ole scraggly thing, one minute it's stitting off the side of the road then when I'm about two yards away it runs right in front of me. Didn't have enough room to even try and swerve

Alrighty reconck I'll try and find an AutoZone

I mean he did hit the radiator pretty hard

Thats the ac condenser. I bet something underneath got busted

Yeah just took it to AutoZone nothing came up in the scanner but played around with the fan and it's not free spinning. It rubbing up against the housing now so I guess what that nosie is

Done a number on the condenser, you may want to get that replaced. How big of an area did all the little fin things get crushed on? It's probably going to inhibit the air flow especially with how hot it gets down your way. What's your deductible as they're not cheap to have a body shop or mechanic do it.
You're luck runs like mine at times.

Not much to do then,sorry it messed your car up.

Your just taking yours keeping you up out on that one.. poor sleep = slow reaction time. hope you get it fixed up..

probably time to find a body shop and submit the claim , your going to be driving that car a long time you should get it fixed right , anything that starts with replacing the AC condenser as well as a bunch of plastic and mounting stuff is likely to be well more than your deductible

You may want to have a police report done on the accident. This way you have even more leverage against the dog owner for the repairs to your car. It doesn't take long for the bill for repairs to get out of hand.

Well pretty sure it was a stray ,didn't see a collar and imma be honest I hit it like 3hr from my house and kept going . But we are working on doing a claim right now. A also still have my engine and transmission on warranty under the dealership so gonna give them a call Monday.
Thanks everyone

Sorry about your car.

You are rehabilitating that poor puppy, though?

Looking at you pic….is that green stuff ,radiator fluid .? Just keep an eye on your gauges. Yup AC condenser is toast ….andbet the radiator. is messed up too. Does the hood line up properly….or is it a little higher than the fenders when it shut ? If so ..the radiator support is pushed up…causing the fan to hit the shroud.

Kinda sad to think there is some little girl crying her little eyes out because Scraggly didn’t come home after he was let out this morning.

I had a dog run into the side of my Harley and it turned out that the older lady had buried her husband the week before. I drove her and the dog to the vet, paid the vet bill and paid for the repair of my motorcycle. It seemed like the right thing to do given the circumstances.

RIP Scraggly. We’ll never know if your broken body was left by the road to die.

This is not his fault. The fault belongs to the owner/former owner of the mutt.

I thought it was a pretty good story with no blame placed on anyone. I’m going to assume you didn’t like it. Please accept my sincere apology for offending you.

Dog was on the side of the road without the owner ?????

You folks must not have the amount of stray, abandoned dogs in your part of the country like we do in the South.

Up here wolves and other predators make short work of wandering domestics.

Radiators seems all are plastic top and bottom tanks. Best keep a close eye on it. Sure is a lot more dogs to dodge here then when was back in Illinois.
