Rear Motor Mount Failure
2008 Mazda MAZDA3
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Mazda dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: Except for a minor issue with cracked motor mounts, the 2008 MAZDA3 is a fantastic vehicle with a great reputation.
If you need to replace the motor mounts, first ask your dealer if they'll cover it -- the motor mounts were dealt with in a TSB & were recalled for some model years. Otherwise buy aftermarket motor mounts -- owners report this solves the problem. If you use the same OEM parts, they may just crack again.

- Worth It - About $100 for the part installation is pretty easy if you have a little car knowledge, having it done at mechanic shouldn't cost too much. Car shifts better, better throttle response, less hesitation at low rpms and no more wheel hop in the rain!

The car had a leak two months ago, we fixed it, and then there was another leak from the water tank and the passenger compartment heating system that caused the engine head to be destroyed.
