| Description of the problem | Flange connecting tailpipe to muffler rusted through, allowing the tailpipe to break free and dangle from undercarriage of vehicle. Others have reported that similar failures have resulted in heat damage from exhaust to the wiring harness that runs in close proximity to the muffler. This damage to the wiring has resulted in loss of abs braking and traction control. While it may be expected that the exhaust system will rust, the placement of the wiring harness in such close proximity and the risk of serious damage to it when/if the exhaust fails is poor design that should be remedied. |
