I have a 6G Honda Accord Coupe V6,and i recently noticed a jerky character of my car when i first accelarate, took it to the dealer and they said my engine mount is gone. WTF? the car has only 40,000 miles on it and the engine mounts are bad. The dealer wants to charge 80 bucks to replace it. I think they should cover it under warranty 'cause it's not normal for an engine mount to go out this early. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a cheaper place i can get engine mounts?
That's unusual. Hard acceleration usually doesn't weaken them to the point of failing at 40,000 miles. How many mounts have gone bad? If it's more than one, the ride would be unbearable. It might still be covered under warranty, if it's a 2000...depending on mileage.
That price of $80 is going to balloon when they factor in labor charges. Good luck bro.
