The car ran great for the end of 2019. I bought it used at 145,000 miles. Then the automatic transmission started to slip. Now its stuck in limp mode.

The engine mounts have failed and the car's engine lurches approximately 2 inches in each direction and vibrates while idling. The independent mechanic indicates they have seen a number of these engine mounts fail on this model due to poor/flimsy design.
