I just want to get some views on this.

I got into an accident (not my fault). Some guy cut me off and I was not able to stop.

The damage was to my front end. No airbag but and it was drivable.

But even if you don't get errors should I we worried about the Synergy Drive and all?

Thanks

I would take it to a dealer and have the techs take a look at it.

If you don't see anything leaking, no new noises, probably not a problem. At least not any more of a problem than on a conventional car.

It shouldn't be any worse than on a regular car. One thing I did discover, though, when I dented the front end of my old classic Prius, was that ONE new headlight cost almost $200!

And HID headlights cost even more. When I was hit in my RX-8, the HID headlight cost $450 to replace.

Thanks for the info.

I have HID headlights and they are not damaged, thank goodness.

I will take it in for a checkup it is due for one.

I if it were a regular gas engine, I would not worry.

But I have never heard of any data that tested the robust nature of the Synergy Engine.

Thanks

Stick a bunch of newspaper under it tonight when you park. Check in the morning to see if any cracks developed where fluid can leak.

I'm sure the internal combustion engine is alot more delicate than electric motors and a generator... they're really not very mechanically complex.

And the battery is in the back... I don't know if it really makes sense, but that's the thing I'd worry about most in a collision. If the part of the electric motor that converts the potential energy into mechanical energy were damaged, I think you'd notice that in the way the car drives.
