The Ford Focus doesn't have a recall for its motor mounts, but they're a common problem with the vehicle that Ford is aware of. Over time, the engine mounts on the vehicle wear out, causing noise and vibrations, especially noticeable during shifts. The worn mounts can lead to annoying rattling and vibrating noises inside the car. If left unfixed, the motor mounts could fail completely, allowing the engine to move freely and potentially causing damage to the engine or engine compartment. Typically, repairing a broken mount will cost between $500 to $600, depending on the amount of labor needed for the repair.
They should issue a recall for the motor mounts in the 2009 Ford Focus as they tend to wear out even without manual shifting. I drive an automatic and have experienced the mounts wearing out and needing fixes repeatedly, indicating a need for a recall to address this issue.
This issue is connected to the lower motor mount and occurs when shifting gears, leading to problems in that process. The issue arises from overly forceful shifting actions.
