What would make my car sound like a lawnmower?
My 2019 Kia Sorrento is acting wonky. Actually, it is driving ok, but it sounds strange. I need to have it checked out, but I want to have some idea of what could be wrong so I don’t get jerked around. What would make my car sound like a lawnmower when I drive?

Smart idea—a little bit of research can help you feel confident and know what questions to ask at the
mechanic
. If your car sounds like a lawnmower, it is likely that you have a leak somewhere in your exhaust system.
An exhaust system leak could come from a many different areas in your
Kia
. There are several parts including gaskets, pipes, hoses, catalytic converters, or the manifold that could need to be repaired or replaced. Without knowing the source of the problem—or how severe it is—it is hard to estimate the repair cost. It could range from $100 for an easy-to-reach patch, to a $1200 full system replacement.
Your exhaust system helps keep the air to fuel ratio in your engine correct and keeps the toxic fumes emitted by your car from entering the cabin where you drive. It is critical for your health and the health of your car to address problems as soon as you notice something is off.
