| Description of the problem | While driving car home from a short trip, we started noticing a noise that seemed to sound like a small muffler leak. No loss of power or any warning lights were apparent at all. Continued driving thinking i could have the hole in muffler fixed the next day. After traveling some 30 miles to our exit, getting off the enter state, the car stalled, still no warning lights indicating anything was wrong, . The car restarted and i continued to drive home until it stopped again. I called for road assistance and had it towed to my mechanic. |
