Stalling occurred as onramp turns right and car was extremely difficult to steer to keep on the road and power brakes failed. Nearly caused an accident with traffic on i495 travelling 60 - 70 mph. Was able to restart car after safely steering and stopping in grass. This condition is extremley dangerous because of loss of steering control and brakes.

Failure Date: 10/11/2001

The car has stalled 5 times during operation since we purchased it, last time on October 11, 2001. It has stalled on the road and in the middle of intersections. The instrument lights come on, power steering and braking disappears, and we have to turn the key and engage the starter. It does start right back up again. It is at the dealership for the 2nd time, but they cannot find anything wrong with it. Mazda has a case open and we have reported conditions surrounding the incidents twice (temperature, amount of fuel, road conditions, etc. ).

car   Car Stall problem 35
Failure Date: 10/09/2001

Travelling on major highway at the height of rush hour traffice when vehicle lost all power. Could not restart for 10-15 minutes. Dealer could not find the problem, so they called in a "special" technician from Mazda who claimed the problem was with the pcm or "computer" of the vehicle, this part was replaced. The vehicle stalled again 4 days later. Funny how there are so many complaints about the exact same problem yet Mazda claims to know nothing about the problem! does someone have to die before they will admit that this problem with the Tributes is dangerous and potentially deadly?.
