So, anyway I am driving down the road and I hear this noise of a branch or stick scraping on the road. I stopped and saw it immediately, and tried to pull it out. It would not budge. It was really trapped under there. I thought well, probably not a big problem it will dislodge as I am driving. Well, it got a little better since some of it broke off, but it never seemed to completely get out of there, because I was still hearing it a little when I was driving here in the neighborhood. Anyway, as soon as I got home looked at the under carriage and didn't see a thing...hmm. well hopefully, it is really gone,,but I have the feeling some of it is there somewhere.

It's likely going to be there for a while until it completely breaks down or dislodges on its own.

I am still hearing something, so I am sure part of it is still there.

@snowy22315 It's going to take a while to get rid of it, I am sure.

I hope it's gone and it's not causing problems now.

I am going to try reversing and going forward. But I am guessing just the top part is under there now

@Juliaacv Yes, but I don't want to go there unless I am having something else done. I might be taking it in on Friday for a couple of things..if it isn't gone by then I will have them check it out.

@snowy22315 Do you have a garage that does free diagnostics? You could take it in and get them to put it up on the hoist and if they see it and remove it then you will be finished worrying.

If it still seems to be there, try reversing a short distance then driving forward. Sometimes, that's enough to dislodge it.

OK, worth a shot. I have done that before on the riding mower when I encounter a similar problem.

@snowy22315 I suppose you’ll know soon enough if it did.

Is it just a minor occurrence? If it is, then it wouldn't hamper your driving. but if you think it's serious then, your vehicle should be checked by an expert.

That is frustrating. It happened to me many times in the past.
