One of the primary reasons for a mount malfunction is general wear and tear on the car. The engine is the bread and butter of the vehicle, so when it is working its hardest, the units surrounding it will surely feel the burn. Often times, this general wear and tear can result in a cracked mount or even a split in the parts. When this occurs, the vehicle will experience those classic shakes and vibrations that alert the driver of a possible problem. Another common reason behind a mount malfunction is an insecure mount. If the mount is loosely or carelessly installed within the vehicle, this will result in issues within the engine. Although a relatively easy fix, if left untreated, this could result in engine failure.Another possible cause of a malfunction is internal leaking under the hood. If oil or other substances knock the mount off its support, drivers will experience those classic shakes.

A blown fuse may also cause the suspension system to fail. The fuse engages the AirMatic system to function, so when it blows the system may fail to work completely or keep running even after it has served its purpose.
