Problem Reports

engine mounts seem to go out on this van all the time. The car makes a jerking noise when starting from a stop unless you go real slow. we have already replaced them twice and it is acting like they need to replace them again.

Seems as if this car was manufactured in the wrong way! I dont care where you get motor mounts from! weather its the stealer or aftermarket! the design is just defective

The motor mounts were broken when I bought this van with 107000 miles on it two years ago. It now has 159,000 miles on it as I sometimes drive 200 miles per day. I have changed the motor mounts numerous times and used them from every parts store in the area. Once I changed them all, even the ones that weren't broken. The design flaw is in the front and rear mounts and has to do with the stress that is put on the engine when it kicks in and out of fourth gear. The last time I changed mine was 20,000 miles ago. That time I had the mechanic weld a piece of steel across the mount and bore a hole where the bolt goes that holds the mount to the motor(just on the front mount). This is something that he foreign car hot rodders do. The down side to doing this is you feel a lot of engine vibration when you stop at red lights. So far it hasn't caused any other problems. I am going to take the mount off today and bore the hole a little bigger to let the rubber take some of the vibration.

i just bought this van and on the way home i felt a really bad thumping everytime i hit the breaks to stop at a light. it scared me to death.i took it right back to the dealer and they fixed it.. it was the rear motor mount and on the list of work that they did to the quest before i bought it.. they had already replaced the front motor mount so this def confirms this problem
