The Dodge Dart is considered a dependable car overall, but it does have its share of issues. Some drivers with less than 100,000 miles have reported early loosening or weakening of the motor mounts as a common complaint. While it's not a widespread problem, it's something to monitor closely if you own one. Motor mount failures are typically expected after a collision, however, the second cause being loosening and sagging is less common. To prevent any safety hazards, regularly inspect your motor mounts by checking their condition whenever you pop the hood. If you notice any signs of damage or compromise, it may be time to think about getting them replaced.

Certainly! Here's a rephrased version of the text with a unique twist:

Absolutely! I recently bought a 2014 Dodge Dart GT and had the front struts replaced by the dealership to quiet some noise I was hearing. Unfortunately, a week later, while navigating detours on flooded roads due to an accident on the highway, I suspected my car had incurred damage. I quickly brought it in for inspection, and they notified me that the rest of the suspension needed to be replaced. I also inquired about the motor mounts, so they changed the suspension parts and tested the car. However, during their test drive, they heard clunky sounds coming from the engine area. As a result, they checked the mounts and discovered that one needed replacement, while the other showed some wear. I requested to have both mounts replaced. Now, I'm patiently awaiting the arrival of the mounts, which is taking longer than the actual replacement process. I'm hopeful that this fix will resolve all my issues.

Common signs of weak or failing engine mounts include hearing impact noises coming from the engine bay and experiencing excessive noise. Another indicator of a problematic engine mount is consistent noise from the engine. Additionally, movement of the piston can also suggest issues with the engine mount.
