I was told by Toyota of Glendora that I needed to replace a cracked "dogbone" motor mount and they quoted me a price of $379.00 for parts and labor!!!! This is a $20-$30 part!!!! It appears to be a common DEFECT and replacement should be covered by Toyota Corp. I'm the 12th person responding to this defective issue.

motor mounts wore out around 180k making the engine rear up when the car would start out from a standstill. I replaced the broken or missing ones and have not had this trouble since.

RookieI replace my Torque Motor Mount about every 1.5 years. It's a bad design. Been replacing them since the car was new in 1996. Dealer paid for the first few. Now, it's just me.

Can't believe it! 3 of 4 motor mounts broke!Took it to our trusted mechanic complaining of the horrible thunk it started to make after braking. Had brakes done a few months prior and thought it might have had something to do with that . Was hoping it was not the transmission. They bring it up on the lift and call me with the great news! Not even high miles! Then the computer would not reset and car had to sit at dealer cause they are the only ones who can deal with the computer! So disappointed in Toyota! I will NEVER buy another! I don't even drive a long way to work!

EnthusiastLower needs to be replaced, top was replaced. Problem-motor shakes car when it is at a light, when I put it in neutral, the car purrs like a cat. Once I get going, the shaking stops.

car rode hard, could feel every bump, thought it was the struts, but an inspection proved otherwise--original motor mounts were flattened. First garage replaced three, and car developed a fierce vibration as soon as I drove it. Long story, but another garage replaced two OTHER motor mounts and the car rode almost like new --five motor mounts total

the exhaust gasket at the manifold pipe keeps leaking. Could bad engine mounts be the cause?

dealer found the broken mount while in for regular maintenance. Once replaced, vibration I had attributed to an aging engine disappeared! Still in love with my Camry baby, even though the motor mount cost me almost $250 to replace! I always thought motor mounts should outlast the engine, unless the car was driven hard. I baby mine so...?
