Motor mounts have been replaced car broke down again 8/26 dealership did not repair correctly and then my engine blew up before I left town. They repalced engine and now I have to replace motor mounts again. I am very unhappy with all these issues and the service I have rec. Miracle Ford has not reimbursed me for items they promised, nor have they sent me information I requested since September. How can a car keep having motor mounts replaced. This sounds like a defect.
