2017 Fusion Energi SEL, 20k miles. Car was impacted right rear, slow speed...offending driver ran a stop sign. (sigh...accident occurred THE SAME DAY WE PURCHASED THE CAR!)
Fusion needed 3 bumper parts: main bumper, lower valance, and chrome/light inset trim. No structural damage, no damage to sheet metal, no electrical damage.
Offending driver's insurance, Farmer's, refused to pay for OEM parts, and shop ignored/forgot my insistence for OEM parts. They purchased, painted, and installed aftermarket parts.
The main bumper simply doesn't line up with either R or L fender...snug, yes, but wavy enough that it's clear it isn't an assembly issue.
Farmer's is standing its ground, following their standard policy to replace with aftermarket, regardless of the "newness" of the vehicle. Repair shop (Don Davis, Arlington, TX) has agreed to order and install OEM parts for me, and will continue to negotiate with Farmer's.
Repair shop stated that fitment issues with aftermarket parts are very common, and they hesitate to use them. Why they chose to use them now is very disappointing.
This may be "old news" for many here, but I think the information might be helpful to some.
