ENGINE QUITS RUNNING WITHOUT NOTICE RETURNED TO DEALER MAY 6, 2002, WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAD REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I HAVE A APPOINTMENT FOR JUNE 19, 2002 IWITH THE MAZDA DEALER IN CHATTANOOGA FOR A REPLACEMENT OF A PART IN THE COMPUTER THAT THEY NOW SAY IS THE FIX. MY WIFE WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY TO GET THIS CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH OUT ANY POWER AND NOT GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. ALL OWNERS OF THIS CAR SHOULD BE WARNED OF THE PROBLEM THAT MAZDA HAS WITH THE MAZDA TRIBUTE THANKS FOR WHAT HELP YOU CAN GIVE TO THIS SAFETY HAZARD.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
WHILE DRIVING ON A CURVY ROAD AT AROUND 40 MPH MY TRIBUTE SUDDENLY STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THIS RESULTED IN A HARD STOP IN THE ONCOMING LANE, WHICH WAS FORTUNATELY NOT OCCUPIED BY AN ONCOMING CAR. THE CAR RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY WITH NO HESISTATION AND I TRAVELLED HOME 5 MILES WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AS I LIVE ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN AND MUST DRIVE CURVY ROADS TO WORK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CLOSED THIS WEEKEND AND I WILL CONTACT THEM IMMEDIATELY MONDAY MORNING. *AK

#10009340May 16, 2002
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL AT ABOUT 30 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. POWER STEERING FROZE. I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER, WHERE SOME KIND OF COMPUTER WAS REPROGRAMMED, BUT I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT MAZDA HAS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, ONLY A CHECKLIST OF THINGS THAT THEY TRY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS NOT SOME KIND OF IMMEDIATE RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT! SHORT OF A FIRE, MAJOR STRUCTURAL FAILURE, OR TIRE BLOWOUT, I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING MORE DANGEROUS, OR I SHOULD SAY EQUALLY DANGEROUS, THAN TO BE SUDDENLY LEFT WITHOUT ANY POWER OR ABILITY TO STEER. WITH TRAFFIC, HIGHWAY SPEEDS, OR CURVE ROADS (WHICH A BOUND MOUNTAINS HOME STATE), THIS IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TS *JB ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12-12-02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS***761982
