One of the most common problems we see at i.g. Burton Berlin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is an exhaust leak. Customers often have leaks long before they bring their vehicle to us. These top three signs are the ones we tell customers in Berlin, MD to look for as warnings that they might have an exhaust leak.
The most common sign is a loud noise coming from the engine when you start the car. This is typically a sign that you have some type of leak around the exhaust manifold gasket.
Secondly, pay attention to any vibration you feel in the acceleration pedal. This type of vibration will grow if you do not take care of it. The vibrations will spread to the steering wheel and then to the floorboards.
Is your vehicle requiring more gas than normal? This could be a sign of an exhaust leak because a leak requires your car to work harder. This in turn requires more energy and lowers the vehicle's fuel efficiency.
