Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). Hello, I own a 2005 Mazda 3. 2. 3 motor. I am having a lot of difficulties with two motor mounts. The vehicle only has 60,000 miles on it and the two are already broken. After reading several reviews and after going to several auto mechanics it has been brought to my acknowledgement that many consumers are having problems with these motor mounts. The motor mounts cause intense vibration while slowing and speeding. It is pretty scary. I which they would not only call the part a defect but recall it. I feel it is not safe to drive the vehicle and all the auto mechanics tell me the same. Mazda of course states it is not a hazard. When someone's engines drops out of the vehicle due to the motor mounts failing because they are defective I ensure they will readvise their judgment. [xxx].
