“I recently had a recall attended to on my 2000 Acura when the technician told me that my engine mounts needed replacement! I was quite surprised at this expecially when he then told me that this was an inherent problem with this car and he does 10-15 perf week!!! The mounts, he said, are designed to last between 70-90000 miles, and since I had 87000 it was no surprise to him. I have had many cars and never ran into this problem, with an inherent engine mount defect. …”
