Toyota Corolla 2002: Noise when car is started, in drive, and in reverse

Nov 29, 2005 24 Replies

Ok just got back from the dealership. They checked my car out for me which cost $50! But they told me that my right engine mount is loose and that it is worn so I need to get a new one. I was nervous waiting to find out what it was that was causing the vibration...but at least now I know! Thanks again guys for all you help!!!

Hmmm, without looking at the vehicle, I would not have guessed that a 3 year old vehicle would have a worn engine mount because I have never heard of one going so early.

I agree, that's pretty early...might have been a problem in manufacture with it...engine mounts (when they finally do go) can make a lelluva lot of vibration though, surprising...

Due to Toyota's consistent assembly methods, Toyota has very few one-of-a-kind problems. For the most part, problems will happen to most vehicles or almost none of the vehicles. I do not recall any posts in this ng regarding failed motor mounts, and like I said, 3 years is very soon for a failed motor mount, unless it was disturbed somehow, like in an accident.

Might have been....I got in a fender bender but it didn't do too much damage to my car. Just needed new headlights because the placstic broke behind them and a paint job for my bumper. The impact of that might have been enough to do something to it. Who knows! When I hit the car in front of me I was coming to a stop at a light...not fast at all. I don't see how that could have caused anything to happen but anything is possible!
