    While parked, upon normal closing of the rear hatchback door, the license plate & frame came off my car and fell to the ground. I picked it up to re-attach to the door and discovered that the metal surrounding the bolts had sheared off from the car leaving gaping holes in the hatchback door. The license plate can not be attached to the car without some form of body work or creative macgyver type skills. My plate…

    I had my front and side motor mounts replaced two weeks ago on my 2005 with 75,000 miles. I suspect they had been torn for 5,000 miles or so. Lots of low load clunking during throttle application, and ever so slight steering wheel vibration. Which i had never noticed, until driving it after the repair and noticed that the steering wheel dead still. But it still is disappointing to spend $450 for (2) motor mounts on…
