Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 10MPH AND GETTING INTO A TURNING LANE WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR HIT THE MEDIAN WHICH WAS NO HIGHER THEN A CURB. AFTER HITTING THE MEDIAN THE ENGINE MOUNTS BROKE OFF AND PART OF THE ENGINE FELL OFF THE CAR. THE IMPACT CAUSED NO SEEABLE DAMAGE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR NEITHER DID THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY. THERE IS NO REASON WHY HITTING A CURB AT 10MPH WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO POP OUT. *TR
