Hello all, I found this forum after searching the net for pricing on motor mounts for my 2008 Yukon. My extended warranty was about up, so I took my Yukon to get looked at for an occasional clunking noise from underneath. I thought it would be ball joints, but it ended up being the driver's side motor mount. I'm glad I found this forum for I also had the "cracked dash" issue as well. I just had both of these issues corrected at Munday Chevrolet in Houston, Tx. Basically, the charge for the motor mount would have been $457.00, but the extended warranty insurance paid for all but a $100.00 deductible, which I paid. I was surprised that they worked with me on the dash due to the fact that my Yukon has 79,000 miles, and I am also not the original owner. It costs me $456.00 to get a new dash. Yes, I do think that GM should have done the dash at no charge, but due to the age of the vehicle...I felt I had no bargaining power. My Yukon is in mint shape (Garage kept) and is not my daily driver, so I felt the charge for the dash was worth it. Good luck to all of you....

Glad to hear you got taken care of, Bruce.

I just did my driver's side motor mount which eliminated the nasty clunk my Denali has had since before I bought it. Ended up paying the money for AC Delco because all the aftermarket ones had such terrible reviews.

So far, so good!

Just got the bad news my mounts need to be replaced. After doing some research this seems all to common. I did brakes and alternator yesterday, very frustrated that I need mounts at 75k miles. gm if you are still out there would like some feedback. Has a new mount been introduced to improve the life of mounts moving forward?

Hi there GM Customer Care, I also have these weak broken motor mounts that I would like help with, my truck is at the Lakeside Chevy dealership in Rockwall Texas now having some other work done and they called today to let me know why my engine was bouncing up and down so much they said I have broken motor mounts. I myself would like to know why are these motor mounts are so weak and such a problem. Chevy dealership wants $600 to fix these motor mounts each and it's just crazy so I wanted to see if there's anything customer care can do for me since my truck is already at the dealership. I'm a big-time Chevy fan and I love my truck hence my email address of c-tahoe@hotmail. I am just tired of my passengers asking why my truck jumps when I press the gas, come to find out it was the motor mounts. Thank you so much I would appreciate your quick response.

Just had my drivers side mount replaced at the dealer. $500 bucks, we'll worth the bloody knuckles for that side as I didn't have time to sit in the driveway for half a day. The other side is fine but it's all mine when it goes.
I currently have 138k miles. Ridiculous that these should be going bad though. Poor engineering.

Took my 2008 yukon Hybrid in for oil pump problems, and my car jerking when I take off from a complete stop. I was told that my motor mount is cracked. My extended warranty is going to cover the motor mount which is great. However GMC has a "bulletin" out for the oil pump and if you change the oil pump there is a whole list of other parts you have to change. My extended warranty will only pay for some parts, so I have to pay $1300.00 dollors out of pocket when my warranty is already going to pay around $2000.00 for the other parts and labor. I'm also not to sure the motor mount being broken is what is causing the jerking problem, I think it might have something to do with the hybrid but not sure yet.

I agree. At least never let anything mechanical know that you're in a hurry. Or for that matter, that you're willing to spend money on it.
So I just joined this forum after searching the net for this issue. Took my 2007 Tahoe to the dealer yesterday for a broken exhaust manifold bolt. They called me up and said the left engine mount is broken too. I had it replaced before at 90k miles back in 2013. I have 121k on it now and the same mount is gone again. Yes, I do tow with the vehicle. about 6 times a year to go to the lake with the boat. But really? I thought the mount being broken was a fluke. I'm now finding out it isn't. Just like the exhaust bolts. Ugh! I don't want to know what's next.
