Hello!
It is great to be a member here and make my first post.
I am a 2015 Fiesta ST owner and I love my car. I have had two major issues since I got it. At 2,000 miles my transmission, clutch, slave cylinder and master cylinder had to be replaced due to a very loud screeching sound at idle. Now at just under 11,000 miles my motor mount on the front of the engine where the belts are has shattered the bolt in three places. I was not racing or doing anything out of the ordinary. I was making a left turn then BANG! SMACK SMACK on the firewall. Has anyone else had this issue with the main mount? I know our cars have issues with the bottom torque strut mount and it causing the motor to hit the fire wall. I will be posting a video soon of the mount. My service writer at my dealership looked at it and immediately blamed it on the cold air intake I installed. I really do not think the added 5HP from the cold air intake would affect the mount in that way. Cobb has a fiesta putting out over 300 hp and no issues with the mounts that I know of. SO what are your guys thoughts on this and has anyone else had this mount break?
