#763824July 4, 2002
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE GOING DOWNHILL AT APPXIMATELY 40 MPH, ENGINE STALLED. LOST POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. ABLE TO STOP CAR SAFELY (BARELY). TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALER. HAD INITALLY MADE AN APPOINTMENT SINCE MY ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON 4 DAYS BEFORE THIS STALLING INCIDENT. I ASKED THE DEALER IF I SHOULD STILL DRIVE MY TRIBUTE WITH THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ON, THEY SAID IT WAS SAFE AND NOT TO WORRY. DON'T KNOW IF THE TWO PROBLEMS ARE RELATED OR NOT.*AK

#763789July 3, 2002
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF OVER 40 MPH. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE 4 TIMES OVER THE PAST 10 MONTHS. EACH TIME THE DEALER INSISTS THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED, BUT THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. ALL FOUR TIMES THAT IT HAS HAPPENED I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE SAME ROAD, WHICH IS A ONE LANE ROAD THROUGH A VERY HILLY AND CURVEY SECTION, AND HAVE ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION EACH TIME. WHEN THE CAR STALLS, THE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING ARE LOST, MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP THE OUT OF CONTROL CAR. BECAUSE OF MY QUICK THINKING, I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, RESTART THE CAR, AND PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE IN ENOUGH TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE RIDING IN THIS CAR WITH MY CHILDREN, AND MAZDA HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. TWO OF MY CO-WORKERS HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE. ONE OF THEM HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM FOUR TIMES AND FINALLY HAD TO GET RID OF THE CAR BECAUSE MAZDA COULDN'T FIX IT. MY OTHER CO-WORKER HAS ONLY HAD THE PROBLEM ONCE, BUT IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE I KNOW WITH THIS CAR ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS CAR IS A HAZARD TO ALL DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.*AK
