I had a good hand wash done on my new MY yesterday, then immediately had to drive through a muddy area and got sprayed mud on the side of the car.
Rather than go back for another hand wash (expensive) when all it needed was a quick wash of the lower outside, I thought I would use the automated car wash across the street. I used to use that regularly for my Prius, When I entered the track, I heard a loud metallic scraping sound from the left front. They stopped the car wash, and I backed out. Yes - they nicely refunded my money.
I looked underneath and could not see any damage, but then again, I don't know what I'm looking for either. Anybody have any idea what might have caused the problem?
BTW - for those of you who wonder why I just didn't go out to the drive way and wash off the mud myself, I live in deep south Texas and the temperature is 87 degrees as I write this. I am an old man (77) and I sweat easily. So - what I'm saying is that I am just too lazy to wash it myself - though that is what I eventually did.
