POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
I HAD THE 1904-D RECALL (RECALIBRATION OF PCM) DONE ON MY MAZDA TRIBUTE ABOUT 1 WEEK AGO. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, MY CAR STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH. WE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN PRETTY SEVERE. AFTER BRINGING THE TRIBUTE BACK TO THE MAZDA DEALER, THE PCM HAD FAILED. SO THE RECALL DIDN'T WORK ON MY VEHICLE. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP TO BE FIXED. *LA

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I OWN A 2002 MAZDA TRIBUTE AND UPON TAKING MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE STATE SAFETY INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THAT MY BRAKES AND ROTORS WOULD NOT PASS. I THEN BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MAZDA FOR INSPECTION AND THEY AGREED THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE WOR, YET NOT COMPLETELY GONE, BUT MORE SERIOUSLY THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. OUR SERVICE REP STATED THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON MANY TRIBUTES, YET MAZDA HAS NOT AUTHORIZED THEM TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY. IN ALL MY YEARS OF CAR OWNERSHIP AND WITH EVERYONE I HAVE TALKED TO, ROTORS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON A TWO YEAR OLD CAR.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED TWICE SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS CAR. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES AND THE LAST TIME WAS AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES. BOTH TIMES IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER NOW THIS VECHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I FEAR THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A REOCCURING PROBLEM. NOT TO MENTION THAT IN BETWEEN THE TIMES THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED THE VECHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR BRAKE SQUELS WHEN STOPPING. EVEN AFTER THE ROTOR AND BRAKES WERE REPLACED, THIS NOISE IT STILL PRESENT. I PLAN ON SELLING THIS CAR AT THIS POINT AND CUTTING MY LOSSES, HOWEVER NOW TODAY A RECALL HAS COME OUT FOR A STALLING PROBLEM. ONCE THIS IS FIXED THIS CAR WILL BE SOLD TO ANYONE WILLING TO BUY THIS BAG OF BOLTS. *AK
