WE ORDERED THIS CAR NEW IN 1990 WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASUM. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A PERFECT CAR FOR MY WIFE TO DO HER DAILY DRIVING IN WHICH AVERAGES ABOUT 10 MILES. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE FAILED FOUR TIMES SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR.FORD HAS REPLACED THESE MOUNTS 3TIMES UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE FOURTH TIME I PAID $356.00 FOR THEIR REPLACEMENT.NOW ONCE MORE I AM HEARING THAT FAMILAR CLUNK WHICH MEANS THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS NEED REPLACEMENT AGAIN.THESE MOUNTS HAVE FAILED SINCE 12/29/93, 5/20/94, 7/17/95, AND O5/8/97. FORD REPLACED THE MOUNTS THE FIRST THREE TIMES UNDER WARRANTY,THE FORTH TIME I HAD TO HAVE THEM REPAIRED,IT COST $356. I CALLED FORD ABOUT THIS PRBBLEM,AND ASK IF THIS SHOULD BE STILL BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THIS IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD NO. HOPEFULLY,THIS PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED. THANK YOU RUDY MARTELL. *AK
