Motor Mounts - Toyota Yaris Forums

I've got a wonderful little low mileage (< 35,000 miles) 2014 Yaris 4 door. About two months ago a guy rammed into the driver's door while it was parked. Assessment was all cosmetic damage and I've got my car back and it seemed fine.

About a week ago I start my car and it made a noise I can only describe as roaring. When I shifted into drive and took the brake off the noise does get better. While driving the car is loud and vibrates (to the point where it looks like a ghost is jigging the mirror. I can reach over 60 on the highway, but the pickup feels funny. The noise, vibration, and pickup issues have persisted since they started two weeks ago.

I brought the car in to the shop and was told it was the motor mounts. I had two of the mounts replaced in 2018 as well as the automatic transmission mount and from my understanding motor mounts, especially on such a low mileage car, shouldn't need to be replaced. Is it possible the guy who rammed into my passenger door did something to the motor mounts?
