Who is responsible if 6 months after a head on accident the transmission go out of your vehicle and the accident was not your fault
January 7th, 2012
Transmission Failure You would be. It’s what is known as coincidental damage, and it means that some part of your vehicle happened to go out just around the same time you had an accident even though the accident may havehad nothing to do with the auto part that failed. You noted 6 months, so therefore I believe your accident had nothing to do with the part failure, it just happened to fail a short time after your crash. Engines and transmissions are usually pretty sturdy when it comes to crashes because they are held in by transmission and motor mounts. Note your cars’ mileage. Engines usually last about250,000 miles and transmissions last around the same amount of time, if proper care is taken for them. If your car has less than 60,000 miles OR is 5 years old or newer, take it to an auto dealer because warranty will cover something like that. Hope this helps.
