Consumer Description

I HAVE HEARD VIA MAZDA3FORUMS.COM THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE FAILURES OF THE DRIVERS SIDE TRANSMISSION MOUNT AND I DECIDED TO CHECK MY OWN SINCE I HAVE WORKED ON CARS FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS...AND I DO NOT TRUST DEALER SERVICE. I ATTACHED A TORQUE WRENCH TO THE BOLT AND PROCEEDED TO GET ABOUT 1/3 TO 1/2 A TURN OUT OF THE BOLT WITH ABOUT 50 FT/LBS AS MY STARTING POINT. I THEN REMOVED THE BOLT, COVERED IN RED LOCATED AND REINSTALLED, TORQUING THE BOLT TO 90 FT/LBS. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND OWNERS OF THIS NEW CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CHECK THEIR MOTOR MOUNTS FOR FEAR OF FAILURE WHEN THE MOUNTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE RIGHT FROM THE MANUFACTURER.*JB
