I honestly don't know what an ECU reset has to do with anything after your car got rear ended. But, it may just be all in your head. So just reset the ecu if it makes you feel better.

Please define "weird". Whats different? Handling, speed, sound?

Dude file against her insurance, demand a rent car from them and send yours to the repair shop. The dealer is going to say it's from the damage to the rear end. Even if she was going slow it could have caused some serious damage. Don't try and hide the damage from the dealer, they're gonna know it will be obvious to any tech. Don't insult their intelligence.

Definitely get it looked at and make sure that she pays for the work... you don't have to be nice... regardless how fast she hit you... there could be damage and you need to make sure that it gets fixed properly. if you don't then you are completely giving her a free pass for hitting you and for failing to be in control of her car

injen cai won't affect warranty, unless it is proved to make something fail in the car...

Just tell them what happened... see if they find a problem... If they don't then u are good to go, but if they do I would ask them to talk to the other drives insurance company to get the claim going. They may not want to handle the paperwork, but you never know.

Plus what about the cosmetic damage? I for sure would want that fixed (and did when mine was rear ended). They hit you, they pay for everything don't settle for less.
