motor mounts
 

2011 HHR - less than 5000 miles. 3 times after coming to a stop I felt intense vibrations coming thru the steering wheel. I opened the hood and the engine was vibrating furiously. Took to dealer - they could not find anything. About a week ago I noticed some kind of lubricant under the car. I took to dealer - said it was a bad seal where transaxle cooler pipes connect to the transmission. I asked if the engine vibrations could have caused this - they said no. After I got the work order, I noticed they replaced the transaxle cooler pipes. I believe the vibrations caused this problem. The next time this happens I will place a container of liquid on top of the engine and video the effects of these furious vibrations. I will also use it to prepare a case if I am forced to resort to a LemonLaw case. I believe it's a faulty motor mount - I will want them to replace all 4 mounts as the damage caused by these furious vibrations will surely be causing collateral damage.

there's thread on here about motor/trans. mounts but i hear ya....G/L Maybe just do like others bite the bullet and just fix it yourself...the motor mounts and trans. mounts I had them off and new replaced in like 1 1/2 hours and stopped for a sandwich....

You have furious engine vibration and there is no check engine light or warnings showing in the DIC? That is truly hard to believe....

believe it - that's what happened.

Take it to another dealer and make sure you contact Michelle at Chevrolet, you can send her a PM by using her user name ChevroletCustomerService.

Yeah with vibration like you are describing, I would suspect a misfiring cylinder.

contrary to popular belief things can go wrong with these cars without throwing a code

"You have furious engine vibration and there is no check engine light or warnings showing in the DIC? That is truly hard to believe.... "

That's a pretty ridiculous comment.

This is true with any car.

@843de, thank you!!!!!!

How is your Monday going?
