Hello all,
First post here, first time Cadillac owner. I just bought a 2005 XLR Light Platinum with black interior, 35K miles, 2 year/24K miles of GMPP Major Guard Warranty. I really like the car, came from a Honda S2000 so having so much luxury is nice.
I think that I have a broken motor mount as the engine shakes violently upon shut down and I hear 2 to 3 large thumps as the engine dies. I have shut the engine off with the hood up to see that the thumps coincide with the rocking of the engine upon shut down. The engine is fine, all of them rock a little when turned off. My question is, how common are broken motor mounts? I have read numerous posts on the Covette forums of motor mount issues and they use the same hydraulic filled mounts as the XLR. I have an appointment to see the dealer tomorrow for an oil change and a verification that the mount(s) are broken.
Looking forward to learning more about my new ride.
