| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Shortly after the second oil change, 10000 miles the exhaust system started making noise. it started as a loud sound from the muffler and now has become a rattling sound and loud exhaust noise. the banging/rattling sound is worst during left hand turns. dealer stated we damaged the exhaust pipe and the brackets needed repair $175. the mechanic was unable to show me any physical damage to the exhaust system. i noticed the new highlanders have a different and smaller muffler which does not bang into adjacent parts. i wonder if i am not the only one with this problem.*ak |
