Additionally, the engine separated from the motor mounts rendering the vehicle undrivable. The vehicle was later towed the local mechanic. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 121,000.

The left side mount-to-mount bracket bolt broke when accelerating normally from a stop. This is one of the bolts that holds the engine to the frame. This caused my shift stick to be thrown back on every acceleration. This is an obvious safety risk. I have not yet had this problem verified or confirmed by anyone. The car seemed to drive well and normal before and up to this incident.

I hear loud bangs coming from the rear section of the vehicle and took it to a local mechanic. He informed me that the axle housing bushings were worn causing movement side to side in the housing. When he called a dealer to purchase bushings the parts person said he could not sell the bushings but had to sell the complete housing because there were problems with the parts and it was redesigned. If they knew about a design flaw why did they not issue a recall for the parts. Estimated cost for new rear axle is $1,000. 00 plus labor verses replacing bushing for around $70. 00 plus labor.

My grandmother has sought help because here key gets extremely hot. Her gear shifter locks up and she cant move it. The air bag light pops on and wont go off. Also she has asked multiple times at various dealers etc, about it and they tell her there are no recalls or anything known. We know their are problems with the daytime running light module but nobody seems to have any information on this. . . As I said this is for my grandmother.

We were on our way to the local market, going about 10 miles an hour, we started leaving one store to the next. . . As I pull out to the light I start to hear a rattle . . Then a loud explosion under the hood. . Sparks and fire shot out and the engine died and we coasted about 20 feet and parked it. . . . . I get out and look under the hood. . The engine had dropped 8 inches from the frame and is merely 3 inches from the concrete . . . . . . The engine pullies are pushed up to the side of the car and I believe everything attached to the engine is bent one way or another and when it dropped it busted through the suspension!!!! we had it towed to clark's automotive in huntington west virginia 25703 (304-522-3876). Everyone we talked to had never seen that happen before! thank you!!.
