Engine Mount Failure at 36K miles

[g8t0rade]

We just had to replace our Camry's engine mounts. Our mechanic told us they should not have failed at 36,000 miles.

Anybody have similar failure?:o:(:(

I always found it to be a common problem... quite often i would hear of people having problems with them.

Do you have the new type camry> How old is it?

IS it the SV10 chassis?

Camry 1996,

Head ASE ceryified mechanic stated he had never seen a mount failure in a car with this low mileage and that he did not like the way the Toyota replacement mounts installed ( too loose). He even called associates about the situation and stated we should contact Toyota. Our 1968 Corrolla had a similar problem. After the Toyota replacement mounts failed 4 times, our mechanic installed a one of a kind item that fixed theproblem.

We are trying to identify the appropriate person at Toyota to contact about the situation.

if you manage to find out the problem lease let us know.

Also the name of the person who contacted in case someone else has this problem.

thanks! :)
