An industry-wide shortage of car parts is leaving some drivers defenseless when they need repairs.
Swerving to miss hitting him, Gefteas hit another car instead. His brand-new Acura RDX received about $30,000 in damage.Luckily, no one was hurt in the collision, and Gefteas was well insured. The dealership confirmed in a statement to FOX 4 that "repairs across the country are being delayed weeks or months because of supply chain issues the industry is facing."
"It's interesting that for all of the claims of not having parts. Every time I went by the dealership, they had just received a truckload of new cars to sell," he said.
