Failed Engine Mount

CarComplaints.com Seal Of

CarComplaints.com Notes: Except for a minor issue with cracked motor mounts, the 2006 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.

MAZDA3 Touring 2.3s

  • Automatic transmission
  • 47,000 miles

The engine mount failed and leaked. The failure caused noticeable vibrations and mild jolting when shifting gears. Called Mazda warranty but my 5 yr powertrain warranty had just expired. Had the engine mount replaced.
