Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The vehicle is a 2010 Jeep patriot latitude, trail rated model. Apparently struck a rock with the tailpipe which caused the muffler to move upward, resulting in the muffler getting caught on the muffler hanger mounts. This allowed the tailpipe outlet to rest above and on the inside of the bumper cover fascia. Damage to muffler and tailpipe was cosmetic, but heat from the exhaust caused the bumper to melt and char. Cannot be certain if there was any flame or fire as others have reported. We attempted to dislodge the muffler by hand, but it is too tightly wedged in. …”
