Hello - our 2006 Mazda Tribute recently had issues related to spider webs in the vent hose - in the service department notes, the following issues were noted related to the fuel tank: Canister vent filter and hose: End of vent hose at top of filler kneck plugged with spider webs this resembles issues that prompted the recall of later models, however in contacting Mazda, nobody has responded to my concern, basically stating that this recall does not apply to this year - I do understand that, but since the issue is identical, I would think that they would at least want to know about it and have a reporting system for it? before taking the car to the mechanic, it would only accept 10 dollars of gas at a time, which shows pressure build up. This same vehicle was found to have water in the tank about a year ago and I wonder if the vent hose is also the culprit https://www.usatoday.com/story/driveon/2014/04/09/Mazda-spiders/7494105/
My Mazda Tribute V 6, 3.0 all of a sudden stopped on the highway. I had it towed to my son's house, than to the Mazda dealership. It was at the dealership when I was told what had occurred. My coils had blown out and damaged my (PCM)computer. They said it would cost $2689. I could not afford the dealership's cost so I had it towed again to a private mechanic where he replaced the coils. I went on ebay and found a reasonably priced PCM where it was programmed keys included. My research has led me into writing this letter. I found that Ford motors and their affiliates have known about this problem with the coils blowing out the PCM for quite some time and have never told the owners of their vehicles about this problem. If I had known I would have never purchased the vehicle.
When cold, gas pedal will not depress. Becomes firm and resistant to pressure. Have to slam on pedal, but receive no power from engine---happens alot when trying to turn corners, will not accelerate- can cause severe if not fatal accident if this occurs at the wrong time. Please force Mazda to issue recall for this part, could be related to throttle body as well
It is been happening more frequently, the gas pedal sticks and cannot be pressed down. Occured several times including some times when I was driving. I have seen several complaints for the same issue. I'm worry about this, it could cause an accident. Something has to be done!!
Have a 2006 Mazda Tribute 4cyl, and am having speed control issues when the weather is cold. The gas pedal sticks and will not depress, even when being stomped on. This issue occurs when the temperature drops below 40 degrees. It has happened when coming around a corner, or when driving in regular traffic, forcing me to coast to the shoulder, almost causing accidents. Please look into this model as well for a recall relating to this issue. Thank you
