One muffler fell off.
Today, while backing out of a parking spot, I heard a thump. I thought I hit something even though I was checking in my rearview mirrow and back up camera. Checked again, saw nothing so I drove off. Later, my friend pointed at the muffler and asked me what happened. I looked and was surprised. The left muffler was hanging as is someone kicked it down. I looked and saw the exhaust pipe broke off just after the joint. No sign of anything. I'll again tomorrow since it was dark and raining. My car has 49,693 miles on it now.

I had this happen to me in a 74 Cougar (yeah, yeah, I know, I'm old). Backing up I heard this tremendous sound like there was something coming through the floorboards. The muffler fell off and got jammed under the car and as I backed up it forced forwards and up. Just so happened I was on my way to the airport, had good clothes on and it was shitty out. Tied it up w/ a string and hit the bricks!

From what I see, I've been having a leak for a while ... see the black mark caused by exhaust gas at the bottom of the pipe ... will see what they will say tomorrow morning.

I just saw this post. The same thing happened to me at 40,000 miles. It even broke at the same weld point.
I called and told the dealer what happened and even considering the circumstances, the earliest they could get me in was 2 weeks later. Well, when I got the car in and they looked at it, they agreed to replace the muffler under warranty, however they had to order the part. They insisted that I leave the car there until the part came in, since it was "dangerous" to drive it around like that!

2 weeks? I guess THAT'S the difference between a good dealership and a crappy one. And if they insisted that you leave the car, they had better offer you a loaner for that time period!!!
my 2 cents
