I took my new TL on the highway for the first time today and while cruising at 120 KPH the car in front of me swerves to the left and reveals a piece of shredded tire smack in the middle of the lane. I couldn't get out of the way as there was traffic so I slowed down as much as I could. I ended up driving over it at around 75-80 KPH and it made a loud bang as it went by. The piece was a rectangle shape probably around 4-5 inches tall and 15 inches wide. I'm pretty sure it went right down the middle of the car.
Do you guys think that I should be worried about any undercarriage damage to the car? I took a look at it afterwards and there didn't appear to be any leaks/loose pieces but it was hard to see everything. Only thing is that it seems my steering is every so slightly off centre. When driving in a straight path the Acura emblem seems to point to the right just a tad. (although that could have been there before though as I never really looked too closely)
Pretty pissed about this as the car is less than a month old but I guess you never know what can happen. :shakehead:
