Just had my recall done - got new engine mounts too - rental mustang :(

Got my recall done today. No new engine for me, but that is a good thing I guess. All they did was the PCM reflash & new leading plugs.
When I brought it in, the guy was telling me he felt some excessive vibration at idle and said the motor mounts maybe have cracked (poly urethane).
Turns out they were, so I got some new ones under warranty, and I gotta say it does idle a little smoother. I guess I never noticed cause it was either always there or had gradually gotten worse.

I had an 05 base model mustang v6 for the day, that sucked. The thing is like a truck, when I brake it just nose dives, and when I floor it, it makes a lot of noise but doesn't really go anywhere. Lots of headroom, it felt huge.

Glad to have my baby back!

My experience at Berge Mazda here in Mesa AZ was excellent, Vince is a great guy!
