High Tech Parts In Your Car That Often Need Repairs

 

When a windshield with a HUD has to be replaced, that can get quite expensive. According to Kelley Blue Book, it can run you around $1,500 to get a replacement windshield with a head-up display.

 

Park Assist Camera

 

Lots of modern vehicles come with park assist cameras. These devices allow drivers to see behind and sometimes around their cars to make parking a cinch. However, the camera can get damaged if the driver hits a vehicle, tree, pole, or something else with their bumper. Then, the entire bumper assembly and camera might have to be replaced. Or, if you’re lucky, only the cam will need repair.

The cost for that will vary, but when it comes to a Chrysler 300 park assist camera replacement, you should expect to pay between $460 and $490 at a local repair shop. That is approximately $415 for parts. Meanwhile, labor costs will likely run somewhere in the neighborhood of between $50 and $70.

Automatic Emergency Braking

 

Automatic emergency braking systems are becoming more and more common. Consumers are all about safety features in modern cars because these help keep them and their loved ones out of harm’s way. But what if that system fails? For instance, what if it stops detecting pedestrians or cars and won’t slow down or stop as it is supposed to? That would obviously be a problem and one that you’d need to have fixed.

If front radar sensors used with Automatic Emergency Braking are to blame, they’ll need to be repaired or replaced. This might not sound like too big of a deal, but try telling that to your pocketbook. Automotive-Fleet states that the front sensors used with Automatic Emergency Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control run around $1,300 to repair or replace.
