Direct contact with a mose at 90km
Well I Have now 39,000KM on my Tahoe Hybrid and what a great vehicle. I do a lot of driving in the wild Canadian North and Friday Night at 8PM while traveling at 90KM on a remote Hwy17 I hit a Mose took him right dead center in the front end. My son was also on board, Thank God for On-Star we were not hurt and Hats Off to the GM Engineers Structualy the truck has cosmetic damage Front windshield , Hood, front grill, bend rad, bent airbox, crushed right fender. And thanks to On-Star they checked in on us until the OPP arrived wko had to shoot the Mose two shoots.

Does the vehicle still start? The dealer may have to re-set a crash related high voltage safety in the hybrid processor. The hybrid has an extra crash sensor and moose are big enough to trigger it.
With right fender damage have them check for any chaffing on all those orange cables. They may have been wacked around pretty good.

Thanks everyone for the comments. The vehicle did start and is at Butler Chev in Pembroke Ontario, they said about two weeks. I just want it fixed right timing is not everything. The main thing is my son and I are okay, bent metal can always be fixed. I let you know what happens, we all miss the Hybrid.
