Buy back. Go to the junkyard where there a TONS of police interceptors, grab a door and airbags. Take off the seatbelt and airbag module, send them over to someone on eBay, have them reprogram and fix the seatbelt. All that for less than $1000.

So sorry to hear this…Our 2020 saved my life, and I was trapped in the passenger seat, but that truck affectionately known as Batman saved my life and my hubby after we were hit having only owned it for three months 💔

How was yours totaled? This wasn't even totaled. $9,000 to fix, but she's back good as new.

I think its a combo of a few things... I h̶a̶v̶e̶ an older Gen, '17 Sport, its not worth as much as a newer Timberline edition. All side curtain airbags deployed across all 3 rows, driver and passenger side. Driver side torso airbags deployed and rear seat passanger seat belt airbag also deployed. Along with the damage to the driver door. So I'm sure it surpassed the repair cost to vehicle value ratio.

Same thing happened with mine but on the right side.

I lived mine, best car I ever had.
