Failure Date: 03/03/2004

Vehicle stalls without notice. On 3-2-04 I took the car to be fixed but the very next day it stalled again. When I called to let the wantagh service dealer know about what happened, they were very nasty and acted as if I were complaining for nothing. They made me feel like it was my problem, I don't know if this is because the car is still under warranty and they are not able to charge for their service. Yet, I purchased the extended warranty for 2 extra years, which entitles me to this service.

I have been informed that my 2001 Mazda Tribute has a various engine parts that are not working properly, casusing it to stall when accelerating. This happened to me on the entrance ramp to the freeway, and I was very nearly rear-ended by a vehicle going between 50-65 mph. I must say, it was one of the scariest events of my life, and I am not at all pleased with the fact that this happened in a car that's barely 3 years old!.

On April 2, 2003 driving in rush hour traffic, my 2001 Mazda Tribute stalled without warning. I did not have any steering or brake control. This has happened once before approximately. 2 months ago. Both times I was going downhill. I have found others who have filed complaints about this same thing. This is a very serious and dangerous issue that Mazda needs to address and correct as soon as possible. Also the owners of these Tribute's need to be compensated for the cost of so called repairs. Mine is going to the dealership April 17, 2003 to see if they can find the problem.

An extended warranty, I am apauled at the way Mazda Ford dealers handle there customers after repeatedly telling them of this problem. I'd like to know what I'm going to do at this point but to engage a petiton to my friends and family not to buy this product Ford Mazda. I think this is wrong on your part what can I do about this problem now that it's getting worst .
