2001 Mazda Tribute Owner Comments

problem #4

Tribute 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Mazda tirbute esv6 has lost all power under normal driving conditions; no power steering or brakes and all indicator lights came on. Which is very difficult to steer out of oncoming traffic to get out to safety. The mechanic from jim ellis Mazda at marietta, ga told that this case already happened twice (one from a different car). In addition, it was reported that the valve gets "carbed up." This occurs when a driver is coasting between accelerating and braking. Also, the transmission and electrical systems are already going haywire on this vehicle with no wipers, airbag light constantly on or blinking, transmission slipping and grinding.

problem #2

Mar 162002

Tribute 4WD

  • miles
Windshield wiper assembly - nominally repaired in 2001 recall - failed completely & without warning. Small plastic connector came apart. Wipers were operating, but load was only water - no ice or snow. As close to a serious accident as I would care to come based on a mechanical failure. Talked to Mazda, but they would not address failure history of item. They have replaced assembly (again), but no indication this one will work any better!
