No summary listed for above vehicle.
Three engine mount bolts snapped at once while driving 55 mph on palisades parkway in new jersey. There was no warning (vibrating engine, noise, etc) before bolts snapped. According to my mechanic, this is the second Jeep Cherokee he has seen with this problem. Since there is relatively low mileage on the Jeep, and since I do not drive it off road, this should not be happening. The only reason the engine remained in the car was due to the distributar cap. It took 4 titanium drill bits to remove all three snapped bolts. Were it not for my distributor cap, this problem could have cause a major accident on a major new jersey highway.
