Consumer Description
MARCH 14, 2014. WHILE STARTING THE CAR, I HEARD A LAUD SNAPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AT PASSENGER SIDE. A MOMENT LATER WHEN TAKING A LEFT TURN I HEARD ANOTHER STRANGE NOISE FORM THE SAME AREA. AFTER THAT THE ENGINE STARTED TO SOUND DIFFERENTLY WITH A SMALL NOTICEABLE VIBRATION. TURNS OUT THAT ALL 4 ENGINE MOUNT BOLTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WERE SNAPPED. IT COST MORE THAN $1000 TO FIX IT. THIS WAS VERY UNEXPECTED.
