Man, taht sucks and doesnt make sense at all.. if there was no issue with the motor mounts and a replacement engine needs new mounts to make it not vibrate, how the hell can they charge for that? That is wacked.. Wonder if others with engine replacement was charged 5 bills for new mounts

That is the worst part about this car. God forbid if you have to service it at the dealer.

Mine still cant seem to hear a throw out bearing noise that my girlfriend and I always hear.....

Did they give you a price quote on the motor mounts before they did the work? In a lot of places dealers are required to provide a written estimate and get authorization.

Too late since you've paid, but it seems like you could have said you didn't authorize the work, and they should just put the old ones back.

Of course, since this is the place that claimed the new motor was bigger and needed pads, there's no telling what they would have done. You're probably lucky to escape with your life.

If I wait a couple of minutes the car will turn over and then I am good to go...BUT it doesn't stop there, if I turn off the car, it acts flooded again, only when I let it sit for an hour or so does it act normal again. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so what fixed it?

Thank you!
Funny because I move my car from garage to driveway and its never flooded on me...
