We've had a really bad year with this. Back in October, my wife had one dart out in front of her in her 2019 Pathfinder. It did nearly $9K in damage. It came over the bumper impact beam, smashed the radiator, condenser, etc.. It was around $8750 in damage, but the collision shopped padded it up a bit with diag charges, etc.
I was on my way into work at 3am on 12/24 and had one rocket out of the brush right in front of me in my 2022 Frontier. I was going ~45mph and was able to stomp the brake pedal, but it was still a solid hit on front left corner. I broke the drive's side headlamp mounting points, cracked the grille, bumper, lost the fog light blank. Lost the grille emblem. Other than that, so far so good. The radar sensor(s) are all good.
A work buddy of mine helped me snap everything mostly back in place, but there's not much holding the headlamp in place. Even the basic halogens like I have are $700/ea.
I really don't want to file another comprehensive claim so close together like this, so I may live with it as long as possible. Currently covering two college aged kids on my policy along with my wife an I. Soon to have a 3rd kid on our insurance. It's so expensive now, it's out of reach for a young male to have a policy on their own. It's ain't like it used to be.
