Overall, your car is running well and in good shape, but you notice a noise that could be the sign of a bad muffler. If you’re like most, the immediate fix is to turn up the radio, and try to ignore it. But, we all know that a “fix” such as that is short-lived. Without a properly working muffler, exhaust could be leaking into your car, which is certainly not healthy. Also, your car’s efficiency could be affected due to the change of airflow, which can in turn cue the “check engine” light to illuminate.
Instead of ignoring the issue, and crossing your fingers that it goes away, bring your car to your dealer. Many times your dealer’s mechanics can order the specific part you’re in need of before the whole exhaust system is in need of replacement. Moral of the story – if your car is making an unfamiliar sound, or the check engine light is on, give your dealer a call, and keep your car noise (and problem) free!
