That is never a good thing. Is the Check Engine light on?
no, but engine shakes a lot,got issues with trunk not opening,cant get back seat down to get to trunk
You need your mounts replaced. They’re faulty since manufacture, but they never did a recall. They expand in the summer and crack in the winter. The longer you go with the vibrations without replacing them, you’ll eventually do damage elsewhere.
can I get ford to replace or is this a out of pocket expense?
Ford is not going to replace ( motor mounts ) on a 18 year old vehicle . You need to have codes read and I seriously doubt if your vibration is the mounts . If you going to have a mechanic repair this vehicle just describe the symptoms as best you can then get out of the way.
