I was driving and I didn't know there was some kind of ditch and my car made a loud clank at the from bottom of my car. I checked at the bottom and a front board was sticking out from the bottom. What is this? How can i fix this?















yes it is! how do I take it out? Sorry I am a car noob..

If it's a black platsicky thing, it's just a splash guard. It's only there for stylistic reasons. Just pull it out completely and when you get a chance take it to the dealer and have them fix it. Won't affect the driving of the car at all































It's funny, the reason I know is cause the same thing happened to me in my 09, for no apparent reason at all. I actually called AAA but I really didn't have to, just give it a few tugs and it should pop out















Oh, 1 more thing: My Toyota dealer repaired it free of charge. If yours tries to charge you, make a fuss. There is absolutely NO reason why something like this should happen to a 3 year old car

That might be a plastic splash shield. I can't see which part of the bottom you're talking about. If you mean in the front of the car, the splash shield there under the engine was probably knocked loose. The attachment screws were probably pulled through the plastic. Replace the shield. Do you have any duct tape to keep it from dragging as you go to the shop for parts?
