ENGINE MOUNT HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, THE FIRST IS LISTED ABOVE, THE SECOND TIME IS SEPT, 24, 2012 AND THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 31,000. THIS IS UNUSUAL AND MAKE ME WONDER IF THE PART IS DEFLECTIVE. A VEHICLE LESS THAN THREE YEAR OLD HAS TWO ENGINE MOUNTS REPLACE. THIS TO ME IS A SAFETY ISSUE, WHAT IF MORE THAN ONE BREAKS OR ALL OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS BREAK THEN THE ENGINE WILL FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHICH IS UNSAFE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE TO SEE THAT THIS IS NOT A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2010 BUICK LUCERNE. *TR
