We were northbound in motion just leaving a light controlled intersection, on a green, when struck extremely hard on driver side. We were in motion and other person attempted to come from westside exiting a bakery, mid street, to make left turn and head same direction as us (northbound) but failed. Other driver said two vehicles stopped and waived her out. She sped across two southbound lanes, did not stop in the turning merging lane, kept going straight across those 3 lanes, her front end struck driver side door traveling down the right side of our minivan, crushed middle door the hardest ,to driver side rear wheel well. We never saw her. Damages totaled $4,784.39. Vehicle towed to cerritos nissan body shop, from lake elsinore. Impact severe instrument panel showed warning the side door open. The problem is, repairs completed on 9/28/11, we go to pick up vehicle, when we are about to leave, we see the odometer indicator and fuel gauge not displaying any numbers. Both gauges working fine, prior to accident. Bodyshop took a picture upon the vehicle's arrival of the display panel documenting mileage and fuel. However, now cerritos nissan, after having care, custody, and control of the vehicle, for 3 weeks, claims that the liquid crystal just went bad due to age of car. Moreover, want us to pay to fix it. There was no problem prior to the accident or car?s arrival to the shop. Diagnosis of the problem, I find this response suspect. The shop also indicated many times customer leave the shop and call back with this complaint. We never left the premises. I goggle this issue shows due to moisture or cold weather is a cause for this issue occurring. Was the vehicle left unprotected and subject to conditions to cause this?
