An Ottawa man says he’s been waiting nearly a year for his car to be repaired after it was damaged during a storm in August.
An Ottawa man says he’s been waiting nearly a year for his car to be repaired after it was damaged during a storm in August.
A parts shortage is causing the delay, but Joshua Kim says he’s running out of patience, having to rely on public transit for the past eight months.
"It went from a 20-minute drive to work, to over an hour and ten minutes, each way," said Kim.
His car has been stuck at Camco Acura, after flooding caused problems with the airbags on his 2016 Acura TLX.
"The insurance adjuster pretty much said that the water damage had caused the sensors to short circuit which caused the airbags to pop in," said Kim.
His insurance provider covered the cost of a rental car for the first couple of months, but that ran out in November. There is still no word on when his car will be fixed.
Acura Canada tells CTV News in a statement that wiring harnesses in general have been difficult to get.
