Engine motor mount sheared, allowing motor to interact with and bounce directly on the frame, and stressing the other connections and components. Dealer indicated this is a very common problem for this car model and is likely a design issue, and even had another example of a sheared mount on display in order to show others with the same issue.
My car would make a noise at the rear of the car when I drove on a bumpy street, I took the car to the dealer and after there inspection , they said the rear sway bar links had to be replaced. I am concerned that if the original parts were defective, maybe the new parts will also be defective. The car is under warranty, the dealer is making the repairs.
