AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG DASH LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED BUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT. ALSO MAZDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY HAD A BULLETIN ON IT BUT IT EXPIRED. I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR SINCE WE JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 2 YEARS AGO AND IT HAD ALREADY EXPIRED. WHY DIDN'T MAZDA FIX IT BEFORE THEY SOLD IT TO US? I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT'S THEIR ISSUE, NOT SOMETHING WE CONTRIBUTED TOO. I WAS ALSO TOLD IF WE DON'T FIX IT WE WON'T PASS SAFETY INSPECTION. THIS IS CRAZY THAT THEY CAN SELL THINGS THAT THEY WILLINGLY KNOW HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE BUT THEN WANT TO CHARGE US FOR THE MANUFACTURES ERROR. P.S. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT FROM THE SAME DEALER AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER BOUGHT IT AND HAD ALL THE SERVICE WORK DONE. THAT'S WHY I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE BULLETIN DIDN'T GET DONE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FOR THE PAST YEAR, THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATOR/GAS PEDAL HAS AT TIMES FELT "STUCK" SO THAT THE DRIVER MUST PRESS DOWN HARDER THAN NORMAL TO ACCELERATE. ORIGINALLY THE DRIVER WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE MAT WAS OBSTRUCTING THE GAS PEDAL'S ABILITY TO BE DEPRESSED. OVER TIME HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAS SHOWN AN INCREASED DIFFICULTY IN THE GAS PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. MOST RECENTLY, ON JANUARY 23, 2014, THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING WHILE IN TRAFFIC. WHEN THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT MOVE. THE DRIVER WAS FORCED TO PRESS HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND WHEN DOING SO, THE ACCELERATOR BECAME "STUCK" AND QUICKLY JOLTED THE VEHICLE FORWARD. THE DRIVER HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE TO AVOID COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE SPEED AT THE TIME WAS LESS THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR AND THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP AVOIDING COLLISION. SINCE THE INCIDENT ON JANUARY 23, THE VEHICLE'S GAS PEDAL HAS INCREASINGLY SHOWN MORE "STICKING" AND HAS BECOME VERY HARD TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT APPLYING A GREAT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE DOWN ON THE PEDAL. THIS CAUSES CONCERN AS THE VEHICLE QUICKLY ACCELERATES IN A JUMP-LIKE MANNER RATHER THAN SLOWLY ACCELERATING TO A COMFORTABLE DRIVING SPEED. THE 2006 MAZDA TRIBUTE IS A 4 CYLINDER AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AT THIS TIME. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY DURING PEAK TRAFFIC (STOP AND GO) ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR WOULD NOT GO WHEN PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. BECAUSE I WAS ON A SLIGHT DECLINE MY CAR VERY SLOWLY CROSSED TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND FINALLY MADE IT ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. CAR STARTED TO SHAKE REALLY BAD BEFORE TURNING OFF IGNITION. GOT CAR TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FINE ANYTHING WRONG AFTER KEEPING CAR FOR ONE WEEK. PICKED UP CAR ON 12/12/13 AND SAME EXACT PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN ON 1/8/14, HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AFTER KEEPING CAR FOR ONE WEEK. PICKED UP CAR ON 1/18/14. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE WRENCH COMES OUT. MY CONCERN IS WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND CARS ARE GOING 45 - 60 MPH, I'LL GET HIT FROM THE BACK AND PROBABLY GET BADLY INJURED OR MAY EVEN DIE! *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND I REACHED A STOP LIGHT. I PUSHED THE GAS AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND REVVED UP VERY HIGH BUT DID NOT MOVE. I DID THIS THREE TIMES. THE THIRD TIME I DID THIS IT REVVED AND WENT TO FLOOR BUT ACTUALLY MOVED AS NORMAL. THIS CYCLE HAPPENED TWICE THROUGH STOP LIGHTS BEFORE THE ORANGE WRENCH CAME ON. IT BEGAN FEELING VERY WEIRD TO DRIVE SO I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO A FIRESTONE WHERE THEY TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION WAS ALMOST SHOT. THIS CAR IS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND WAS FINE THAT MORNING PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. IT WAS SCARY TO DRIVE AND CONTINUED FOR 18 MILES UNTIL I REACHED THE FIRESTONE. *TR

SUSPENSION, WHEELS, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
PULLED AWAY FROM HOUSE TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND AT ABOUT 30 MPH I HEARD THE WORST SOUND. IT CAME FROM THE REAR RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. IT WAS WORSE OVER BUMPS, STOPPING ETC. TOOK IT TO AN AUTO MECHANIC WHO DROVE IT FIRST AND BROUGHT ME BACK TO SHOW ME A RUSTED OUT WHEEL WELL WITH INTERIOR EXPOSED. ALL REMAINING THREE WHEEL WELLS WERE PERFECT, FINE HE STATED. I STARTED BY CALLING MAZDA WHO IS SENDING ME TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. THE DEALERSHIP WILL THEN PASS THAT INFO ON. IT IS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND I THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED. IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 2005 AND WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS. NO ACCIDENTS OR MISHAPS TO THAT AREA OF THE CAR. WE KNOW THIS WILL COST A BUNDLE AND READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE FORD ESCAPE 2005 HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT SAID THE TWO ARE "MECHANICAL SIBLINGS." I WROTE DOWN WEBSITES I VISITED WITH COMPLAINT/QUESTION FORUMS AND THE QUOTES FOR REPAIRING ARE ASTRONOMICAL FOR A ERROR MADE ON THE MANUFACTURERS END. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR THE SHOCKS TO GO THROUGH THE REAR OF THE CAR RIGHT BEHIND MY SONS CAR SEAT. *TR THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED, THE FRAME WAS CRACKED, DUE TO A RUSTED OUT WHEEL WELL. UPDATED 06/10/14 UPDATED 08/03/15. *JB UPDATED 09/21/15.*JB UPDATED 09/28/15. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE ACCELERATING, THE ACCELERATOR GETS STUCK AND THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWS DOWN TO A CRAWL. DRIVER HAS TO PULL OVER AND PUMP ACCELERATOR IN ORDER TO GET IT UNSTUCK. CHECKED WITH DEALER INITIALLY AND CALLED MAZDA TODAY JANUARY 8, 2014 TO ASK IF THERE HAVE BEEN A RECALL. WAS TOLD, NO. IN THE PAST, HAD TO TAKE CAR TO MECHANIC AND LEFT IT TO BE TEST DRIVEN IN ORDER FOR MECHANIC TO REPLICATE PROBLEM. MECHANIC FOUND THE PROBLEM AND CLEANED ACCELERATOR. PROBLEM CONTINUOUS SPORADICALLY. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAD RECEIVED TWO NOTICES OF RECALL ON MY MAZDA TRIBUTE FOR A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH A STUCK THROTTLE. APPROXIMATELY 4 OR 5 MONTHS AGO, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALER TO COMPLETE THE RECALL. BEFORE THIS RECALL I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS WITH A STUCK THROTTLE. ON THE ABOVE DATE, I WAS RETURING TO MY HOME ON A TURNPIKE TOLL ROAD. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH. AS I ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE TOLL TOAD, MY THROTTLE STUCK AND WOULD NOT ALLOW MY VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. THIS EXIT INVOLVED A SHARP CURVE AND A TOLL GATE AREA. I MADE MY WAY THROUGH THE GATE BY CONSTANTLY APPLYING THE BRAKE. I FINALLY EXITED THE ROAD AND ENTERED A PARKING LOT. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT A VERY HIGH RPM. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND THEN PARK. IT CONTINUED TO REV NEAR THE 5 AND 6 RPM LEVEL. I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT SEVERAL TIMES. IT CONTINUED TO REV AND WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE, IT JUMPED AND RACED FORWARD. ON DECEMBER 24, 2013, I GOT THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALER. AS I PULLED IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THE VEHICLE AGAIN STARTED TO REV UP TO 2 OR 3 RPMS. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND TAPPED ON A VALVE IN THE TOP OF THE MOTOR. THE ENGINE THEN SLOWED DOWN. AT AN EXPENSE OF $235 DOLLARS, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS THIS VALVE THAT NEEDED REPLACED AND IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL!!!!! THEN ON JANUARY 6, 2014, I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE AND IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED IDLING VERY HIGH. I ATTEMPTED TO START AND STOP IT MANY TIMES WITH NO RESULTS. I FINALLY GOT IT TO MY HOUSE BY RIDING THE BRAKE AND AT TIMES PLACING IT IN NEUTRAL. IT WAS VERY ICY AT THE TIME AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SURGE AND NEVER STOP THE HIGH REVING OF THE RPMS. BOTH OF THESE INCIDENTS WERE VERY SCARY AND OCCURRED DURING POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO REACT IN A CALM MATTER AND CONTROL THE VEHICLE! *TR

POWER TRAIN
DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH FOR THE HOLIDAYS WHEN I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND A WRENCH LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH BOARD. ENGINE WAS IDLING VERY RUFF AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE IN FORWARD OR REVERSE LIKE THE POWER TRAIN WAS BROKEN. PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN OFF ENGINE, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND RESTARTED ENGINE. WHEN THE ENGINE RESTARTED, WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF AND FINISHED DRIVING HOME. SINCE THEM THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON THREE MORE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR BUT THE MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AS NO ENGINE LIGHT OR WRENCH LIGHT WERE DISPLAYED. I FEEL THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND AN ACCIDENT JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN YET NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO CORRECT PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT MAZDA SHOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP, BE MADE TO RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES AND MAKE THEM SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I CLOSED THE REAR LIFTGATE AND THE REAR GLASS SHATTERED EVERYWHERE. NOTHING WAS IN THE BACK AND NOTHING TOUCHED THE GLASS, IT JUST SHATTERED NIGH SPONTANEOUSLY. IT WAS 21 DEGREES OUTSIDE AT THE TIME. THE VEHICLE HAD THE REAR WIPER MOTOR MOUNTED TO THE GLASS LIKE IN THE SIMILAR 2010 FORD ESCAPE AND MERCURY MARINER SEE HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/ACM17844975/INCLA-PE11016-3909.PDF.

WHEELS, STRUCTURE:BODY
TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND HAD THEM CHECK OUT SOME NOISE COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE. DEALER SAYS THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WELL IS VERY RUSTED (ACTUALLY RUSTED THROUGH IN SPOTS) AND NOT STABLE. NOISE IS COMING FROM AROUND THE REAR SHOCK AREA WHICH IS VERY DETERIORATED AROUND THE SHOCK MOUNT AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE SHOCK MAY NOT BE ADEQUATELY SECURED. THE SAME THING IS STARTING TO HAPPEN ON THE OTHER REAR WHEEL WELL BUT MOST OF THE DAMAGE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE IS NO VISIBLE RUST ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. WE WERE REFERRED TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP BUT THE REPAIR WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE TOO FIX. WE'VE REGULARLY SERVICED THIS VEHICLE AT THE DEALER SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW. I'VE CHECKED ON-LINE AND HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE OCCURRING IN MAZDA TRIBUTES AND FORD ESCAPES IN THE 2004-2005 MODEL YEARS. THE VEHICLE IS NOT BEING REPAIRED DUE TO COST. *TR

STEERING
A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN MOVING ON ITS OWN TRYING TO GET BACK LEFT - SHAKING UNCONTROBALLY. THE PEDAL BEGAN GETTING VERY STIFF AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PRESS ON IT FOR GAS IN ORDER TO MOVE. WHEN I CUT THE CAR OFF AND CUT IT BACK ON THE ISSUE GOES AWAY. SOMETIMES IT TAKES THE CAR A FEW TIMES TO GET GOING. MEANING I HAVE TO CUT IT OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES. THE WHEEL CONTINUES TO SHAKE ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS NOT ON. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SO I TOOK IT TO BE SERVICED BUT EVERYTHING WAS OK. RECENTLY (FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS) THE CAR'S STEERING HAS GOTTEN WORSE AS IF THERE IS NO POWER STEERING IN THE CAR. WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN THE VEHICLE AT ALL. WHILE IT RUNS I CANNOT STEER MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE MAZDA DEALER TO GET ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS DEFECTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I AM IN AWE THAT A CAR SO NEW HAS THIS MANY MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUES. I NOW HAVE NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO GET THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED AS I AM TOLD THIS IS HTE ONLY THING THAT WILL FIX THE STEERING ISSUE. *TR

SUSPENSION
WIFE LEFT HOUSE TO RUN AN ERRAND AND RETURNED IMMEDIATELY AFTER HEARING LOUD CLANGING NOISE IN REAR OF CAR. SHE BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION SO I RODE IN THE REAR SEAT TO OBSERVE AS SHE DROVE. AFTER JUST A VERY SHORT DISTANCE I HEARD THE NOISE AND OBSERVED THAT I COULD SEE THROUGH THE REAR SPEAKER AREA TO THE OUTSIDE. SHE PARKED THE CAR AND I LOOKED FROM THE OUTSIDE INTO THE RIGHT (PASSENGER) REAR WHEEL WELL AND SAW THE ENTIRE UPPER SHOCK MOUNT WAS ROTTED OUT OFFERING NO SUPPORT WHATSOEVER TO THE SHOCK ABSORBER. THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE CAR IS VERY GOOD WITH NO OR VERY LITTLE BODY RUST. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE CANNOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL THIS IS REPAIRED. I AM NOT A CERTIFIED MECHANIC BUT I DO RESTORE OLD CARS AS A HOBBY AND CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE OF MODERATE ABILITY IN AUTO MECHANICS. *TR
