Consumer Description

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN TOWN AND WENT TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THEN A SPRINGING NOISE. I MYSELF LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND JUST ASSUMED I RAN OVER SOMETHING AND IT HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. I HAD A FRIEND LOOK UNDER IT ALSO AND HE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING EITHER. I JUST FOUND THIS OUT YESTERDAY WHEN IT FAILED INSPECTION.
