The engine cut out for no reason while driving, causing sudden loss of power brakes, steering etc. Luckily, no other traffic was on the road or there may have been an accident. This is the second time this problem has occurred on this vehicle. One year ago, the engine stalled while driving while driving down a hill, and a multi-car accident was narrowly avoided at the bottom of the hill. The dealer claims that Mazda told them to replace the "pcu" at the time, and then called me back later to confirm this was indeed the fix to this reported nationwide problem. Obviously, since the problem has now re-occurred one year later, Mazda's initial fix was wrong and Mazda still does not know what is causing this problem. Your website reports numerous similar consumer complaints, which is disturbing. What is the government doing to protect consumers? there should be a forced recall. This is a real safety issue - a downhill stall!!! must we wait until deaths occur? I would like to hear a response from NHTSA. I plan to forward this list of complaints to my congressman. Mr.

Engine stalled in 5:00 p. M. Traffic. Completely shut down. No brakes and no steering. Can't believe I did not get hurt or killed. Mazda must make a recall on Tribute before someone is killed.

I am reporting what I believe to be a new serious safety concern with 2001 Mazda Tributes. The engine stalled while driving downhill, causing sudden loss of power brakes/steering, and I barely avoided a serious accident as I approached the bottom of the hill. I learned from dealer that I am the 5th customer at their dealership alone to report this problem (downhill stall) and that Mazda has no fix yet because the problem is intermittent and Mazda has been unable to duplicate. I believe the dealership is doing everything within their power. I am requesting that the government get involved and force Mazda headquarters to step up their investigation and issue a warning to consumers before people die.

The engine stalled while the truck was being driven on a flat, dry road at about 40 mph. When that happened, the power steering and the power brakes stopped working, so the truck was very hard to steer and to stop. The driver pulled over and then was able to start the engine again. This has only happened once to us but this is still very serious. We think this should be considered a safety hazard for this truck.

I was driving approximately 40 miles per hour when the engine stalled, losing power steering, brakes, and clutch. Could not restart, so the dealership picked me up. Dealership stated the clip on the clutch had broken. This problem has only happened that one time, however on several other occasions the vehicle's idling has gone crazy and jumped and the vehicle acted as if it were going to cut off. This lasted several minutes and subsided. I was four months pregnant when this occurred and was almost hit by several vehicles because I had not been able to get the vehicle completely off the road. I am now driving around with a six week old child. I bought this vehicle because I thought it would be a "safe" vehicle for my son. I would like to know that it is!.
