Yeah, modern cars are so sensitive these days. Had a similar thing happen—barely nudged a curb parking downtown, didn't even scratch the bumper, but suddenly my lane-assist was acting up. Took it in thinking it'd be a quick fix, but nope... recalibration wasn't cheap. Still, better safe than sorry, I guess. Good on you for leaving a note; might save someone else from an unexpected bill down the line.
Had something similar happen to me last year. Barely tapped a parked car at the grocery store—seriously, I couldn't even see a mark—but left my number anyway. Turns out, their parking sensors went haywire and needed recalibration. Wasn't cheap either, and insurance got involved, which bumped up my premium a bit. Honestly, these modern safety features are great for peace of mind, but they're turning minor bumps into expensive headaches. Makes me wonder if manufacturers could design these systems to be a bit more forgiving... or at least cheaper to recalibrate. Has anyone else noticed their insurance rates creeping up because of these sensitive tech repairs?
Had a similar run-in myself recently. Backed into someone's bumper, zero visible damage, but it set off their blind-spot sensors. Ended up being a pricey recalibration, and insurance got involved... again. My premium's already high (let's just say my driving record isn't spotless lol), and this didn't help. Seems like even the smallest bumps trigger these expensive fixes nowadays. Wish they'd build these sensors to handle minor taps without freaking out or costing a fortune to reset.
Had a somewhat similar experience with my Audi recently. Barely tapped a parked car—literally just grazed it—and visually, nothing seemed off. But apparently, it disturbed the parking sensors enough that they kept beeping randomly. Annoying, and the dealership charged a hefty fee just to recalibrate them. Makes me wonder if these luxury features are becoming more trouble (and expense) than they're worth...
Had a similar issue myself a while back—just a minor bump, zero visible damage, but the sensors went haywire. These newer cars are sensitive, and repairs get pricey fast. Still, better safe than sorry... reporting it might feel unnecessary, but sometimes hidden issues pop up later. You're being cautious, and that's smart. Hopefully, it's nothing major and you can move past it quickly.
