Yes, it happened. I had my first accident with my pepper. The pavement was icy and downwards sloped and couldn't stop and tried to pass the car in the front by turning the steering to left and suddenly the car started to spin and I hit the car in the front with my rear right wheel. It ended up having the wheel rod bent and bearings broken, crooked steering wheel etc... I had to pay a grand to get it fixed. Thanks to god no body damage. I got my car back two days ago from the dealer and right now I feel that there is something wrong with the exhaust sound. It is throatier than before (I don't have the cat bypass pipes) but it is causing resonance in the cabin and definitely not normal. I can even feel it vibrating the floor. What could've happened there? Do you think just a random exhaust guy can fix the problem? Or should I bring it in again...

 

Sorry to hear that, it's good that no one was hurt. Do you had winter tires on your car? As for exhaust, i think it could be a pretty easy fix.

 

I had my all season tires on it. I went to a random muffler guy this morning and asked him to take a look at it. He jacked the car, said that exhaust system is bent and out of its place, he tried to re-place the exhaust using a lever and now the problem is gone. He didn't accept money even though I asked so hard. I just left 20 bucks on the table and left the place

 

Great to hear that there's still always some good chaps out there like him.

 

Sorry to hear as long as your ok, its only a car.

Might be an exhaust mount or cracked pipe

 

your dealer fixed the suspension but didn't bother looking at the exhaust? i'd be weary of that.....

this exhaust shop is definitely worth going back to. maybe you can write a nice yelp review to help their business.

 

How many miles you have on them?

 

Glad you're OK. Bummer on the extra damage(?)

 

I have 15000 miles on my all season tires, do you guys think it's time to change them?

I have a minor body damage around rear right wheel, it's really hard to notice if you don't look closely but I got quoted $1524 to get it fixed. I'll probably leave it as it is.

I still can't forget that scary crashing sound when I hit that car..

 

I don't have any kind of experience with all season tires, i always had summer/winter tires and i never experienced "no traction" situations during winter season.

 

definitely take it back. they can't possibly check every single part of the car...
