| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Shifting from 1st to 2nd gear was rough sometimes. i checked the torque on bolt of driver's side engine mount and it was loose. it turned under 30 feet-lb. bolt was supposed to be 70-80 feet-lb from the factory. after bolt was tightened to spec shifting became a lot smoother. i was convinced that if bolt was not tightened failure of driver' s-side engine mount bolt would have eventually resulted in a couple thousand more miles. vehicle only had 3000 miles on it -engine would have dropped over left side driveshaft, causing loss of control of vehicle. refer to investigation pe07015 . *ak |
