Consumer Description

ON THE FIRST OCCASION THE MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS BROKE AND THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE COLLAPSED DOWNWARD. DUE TO THE COLLAPSE THE FAN MOVED DOWN AND IT HIT THE FAN COVER. WHEN THE MOTOR MOUNT COLLAPSED IT CHIPPED AWAY AT THE SURFACE OF THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE SECOND TIME THE MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS CAME OUT COMPLETELY AND THE ENGINE FELL TO THE SIDE AGAIN THIS TIME WEDGING FAN INTO THE RADIATOR. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE MOTOR MOUNTS, BUT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT DO A GOOD ENOUGH JOB, IN ORDER THE KEEP THE MOTOR MOUNT SECURE.
