So about a month and a half ago now I was stopped at a red light when someone rear ended me hard. Must have been going 60km/h and pretty much destroyed the rear. The whole hatch, bumper etc had to be replaced. Now I finally picked it up today but there seems to be more issues with the car then there were before the accident.
I've noticed while driving that when accelerating once you hit around 2000rpm it seems to "lag" a bit or stick before kicking back in and it'll do this on occasion. Added to that when I've started breaking from higher speeds (about 90km/h and up) the brake pedal seems to vibrate under my foot in which it never did before, which concerns me the most at the moment and lastly - the car drifts to the left which is clearly due to the alignment being off. Turning also seems to be stiffer but that may be due to the fact that I drove a rental car for the past 1.5 months and it was a different feel.
The repair shop that did they work I personally never heard of since there are so many in Toronto and I wasn't sure of their reputation but they left the car dusty as hell on the inside which I will now need detailed and cleaned and all these problems have arise. What exactly do I do because this was handled through insurance - I plan to call back and express my concerns and displeasure.
Anyone know of anything else I can do? Or if you have any clue as to what the problems seem to be or where they could be leading from?
Thanks
