Was driving on a local road the other day when i heard a "boom" sounded like something broke loose followed by this "weird scraping sound" like a tick, tick, tick, followed by a bit of instability. When I got to a stop light I pulled over and checked the car..NOTHING! no leaks, no exterior damage. Checked under the hood and couldn't find anything wrong visually. I got back in the car and it started fine. No CEL
Now it is driving normally (so far)
Cause for concern? Should I take it to dealer and have them check it out?

Was driving on a local road the other day when i heard a "boom" sounded like something broke loose followed by this "scraping sound" I thought it was the car behind me but when I got about half a mile down I realized it was me. When I got to a stop light I pulled over and checked the car..NOTHING! no leaks, no exterior damage. Checked under the hood and couldn't find anything wrong. I got back in and it started fine. No CEL

You probably hit something in traffic, the item went right under the undercarriage, rattled for a bit, then flew out the back. If you canā€™t see any damage and the car doesnā€™t feel any different, I wouldnā€™t worry so much. If youā€™re super paranoid, put the car on ramps or jack stands and visually inspect it yourself :thumbsup:

Iā€™d still give the undercarriage a solid look through, but sometimes a rock will get wedged between your rotor and dust shield...then itā€™ll fire out of there like slug leaving a shotgun. The whole ordeal makes a ton of noise.

Thanks hoping it was nothing and looking today at the undercarriage and engine bay didn't appear to see anything out of place. No leaks or anything unusual.
