Consumer Description

THE ORIGENAL AND REPLACEMENT OIL FILLED MOTOR MOUNTS FAILED ABOUT YEAR APART FROM EACH OTHER. THE SECOND TIME CAUSED THE POWERSTEERING LINE TO RUPTURE SQURITING POWERSTEERING FLUID ON TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WHICH SENT SMOKE INTO THE PASSENGER CARPARTMENT. THIS CAUES TEMPORARY OBSTRUCTION OF MY DRIVING VEIW. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A CRASH. MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MOTOR MOUNTS FAILURE IS VERY HIGH AFTER REPLACEMENTS. THE REPLACEMENT MOTOR MOUNTS WHERE NOT PURCHASED FROM A FORD DEALER BUT SUPPOSABLY THEY ALSO ARE FAILING.
