Description of the problem	I was driving my jeep and it seemed to sound really loud, like a motorcycle, and when i'd accelerate it wasn't smooth, it's almost like something was stuck. I was running errands and when i went to put some groceries in the back, i noticed my bumper looked funny and i could not see the tail pipe. I called the dealership (i had called earlier to make an appointment for this noise, before i noticed the bumper). He told me to come in and they'd fix it. The tail pipe got lodged up in my bumper, burned a hole in the bumper, and started burning the frame of my jeep. It was extremely hot and had i not noticed it, would have started on fire. The guy at the dealership said he had seen this one time before when someone hit a snow bank. We haven't had snow in months, and that weekend i drove my jeep to my mom's and it was parked all weekend. I did not hit anything, and no car could hit me that low to lodge that up. I now check every time i get in the car to make sure i can see the tailpipe since i'm not sure if bumpy roads can cause this to happen again. *js
