Unsure what to do, it is raining right now so I can't get underneath and look. There is a rod sticking out from under my car (XV Crosstrek 2014). I was driving yesterday and heard a noise like a rock got thrown under my car or something. It went away after a couple seconds so I thought nothing of it. Car drove fine on highway for an hour. Tries to drive just now and it was making this noise again, and it was the rod dragging. :( seems to be a part of the car (guessing)

Is this something I can fix, or should I take it in? And if I have to drive, what should I do to stop it from dragging?

Thanks for any help!!!

For safety purposes, I wouldnt drive the car until you figure out what thats for.
 
I agree, Looks like a hood support rod. I wouldn't be concerned going forward but I would not back up for sure. Maybe drive to a shop and pull into their lift.
 
Did you ever figure it out? My friend has the exact same rod sticking out of her Forester
