Both the engine mounts have failed & this problem is already mentioned in the federal safety agency campaign # 98v323000. Georgia state is not covered in the campaign. I wish to know what I should do? About the engine cooling system I have replaced the thermostat after I just had a 21 point check from boomershine, ga. Again the cooling system failed on 03/04/99. This car has been giving problems to me & I feel that the 3.8l engine vehicles should be replaced by the manufacturer. I am frustrated with the stability and dependability of the car.
Transmission skipping while drivin./ also, vehicle would thump into gear whenever vehicle came to a stop. Dealer informed consumer of replacing engine head gasket.
