Water bottle spill that damaged electric car still not settled

After Action 9 first exposed in November the water spill that sparked a $12,000 car repair bill, the owner thought his insurance company would cover the cost, but now he’s learned it may not be that simple. Car owner Mike McCormick said, “And it’s a lot of money, and they’re really not stepping up, and I think they’re acting in bad faith.” Two wiring harnesses in his small SUV fried when a water bottle spilled in his back seat. The car eventually stopped running. After Action 9 aired the story in November, his insurance company, State Farm, sent a letter saying it did additional review and would cover the loss. So, McCormick was excited, but now he claims the insurance company pulled the rug out from under him.
