Consumer Description

WHEN I PULLED THE COVER PLATE OFF LEADING TO THE ENGINE MOUNT ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE, A SHEARED BOLT FELL OUT. AS I SEARCH TO WHERE IT CAME FROM I NOTICED IT WAS ONE OF THE FOUR BOLTS HOLDING THE ENGINE MOUNT TO THE ENGINE. ONE THING TO MENTION ABOUT THE BOLT IS THAT IS MADE OF ALUMINUM. IT SEEMS COMPLETELY INADEQUATE FOR A HIGH STRESS AREA LIKE AN ENGINE MOUNT. I CANNOT TELL YOU WHEN EXACTLY THE BOLT FAILED, LIKELY IN MOTION AT SOME POINT BETWEEN 70K AND 80K MILES.
