“Two weeks prior to 5/10/15, my muffler was making some noises. Sounded like I may have had a hole in my muffler. On sunday morning on 5/10/15, I was driving home from virginia and did not notice anything until I stopped for gas in maryland. My muffler was making loud noises like a truck and the whole bottom of the car started vibrating. Was extremely embarrassing. …”
