Drining at any speed can be dangerous, regardless of your choice of manufacturer. The engine dying at 60mph on a freeway or 30mph on a curving, downhill section of road is even more dangerous - no power brakes or steering. Ask those that have had the fuel pump relay fail.

As I stated earlier, the engine mounts are not critical parts. The engine will drop down to the subframe and rest there if there is a catastrophic failure, but the engine will not stop running. If left unrepaired for a long time, there could be consequential damage to the wiring or other parts of the car.

You have driven this car for 185K miles with maintenance. You will need to keep maintaining it until you sell it.
