Vehicle has suddenly stalled in traffic several times. Was travelling at approx 35-45mph. This happened twice. Veh was taken to dealer, who re-programmed the computer. Several months have passed without incident, problem has occurred again. Very concerned that when engine stalls, I lose power steering and may not be able to turn off the road before being struck from the rear. Each time this has occurred I have been able to pull into the median or a side street. But I wonder what will happen if I am in the middle lane???.

Consumer states that while driving at any speed and with no warning , the vehicle shut off, which caused the consumer to pull over. It was hard to hard to get the vehicle started again. Dealer notified. When the engine stalled, the vehicle lost power steering and brakes. The consumer used the hand brake along with both feet on the pedal to stop the vehicle. The second incident occurred during city driving.

Since I purchased the auto in April 2002, there has been a burning smell coming from the engine. Every time I took the auto in for an oil change (every 3000 miles) I asked them to take a look at the engine because of the smell and every time they said they couldn't find anything except excess oil on the engine. If it is a brand new auto why is there oil on the engine?? no answer from the service dept. Finally after a year of complaining they actually looked at the engine and found a cracked block. The service dept said it must of happened when the engine was factory installed. I was told it was still ok to drive. They would get back to me when the "part" was in. Also they didn't believe me that something was wrong with the brakes. Once again everytime I took it in for an oil change I told them the brakes didn't feel right. I would have to pump the brakes to stop sometimes and other times sitting a light they would depress to the floor. Surprising nothing was found until the service dept actually drive the auto around (for the above problem) did they discover that I needed a new master cylinder!!! this is unbelievable, I have had both problems since the auto was purchased. Luckily it never stalled on me. What the heck it up with this model year???.

Engine stalled going down slight incline at 30-35 mph. Lost power steering and power brakes. Narrow road with no place to pull off. Difficulty stopping vehicle safely. Very scary incident. After vehicle stopped put gear shift in park and vehicle restarted without difficulty. Proceeded to destination without further problems. Vehicle currently at dealers for repair. Dealer had advised there were problems with 2001 models but problem was fixed on all 2002 models. Obviously not true in my case!!.

I took my new Mazda Tribute in 3 times before my second payment was due. On 6/27/02, the engine stalled while driving and I had no brakes or acceleration control. I had to turn the key 3-4 times to get it to start again. On 8/16/02, I took the vehicle in to have the taillights and dashboard lights repaired. On 8/20, the car stalled as I was approaching a major intersection during 5 o'clock traffic. I had to turn the key 4-5 times to get it to start. I am scared to drive this vehicle due to the repetitive safety malfunctions. Stan olsen has told me that it will cost me if I want a different vehicle.

Engine stalled on freeway. All electronics including brakes shut down. Unbelievable that a vehicle so new is having this problem. After more research, I'm finding many more people with the same problem. Don't wait until a fatal crash before you fix the problem.

While driving downhill at about 30 mph, the engine stalled without warning. Power steering froze. I was able to stop and restart the engine. I took it to a dealer, where some kind of computer was reprogrammed, but I was also told that Mazda has no fix for this problem, only a checklist of things that they try. This is an extremely dangerous defect, and I can't believe there is not some kind of immediate recall on this problem. Someone is going to get hurt! short of a fire, major structural failure, or tire blowout, I can't think of anything more dangerous, or I should say equally dangerous, than to be suddenly left without any power or ability to steer. With traffic, highway speeds, or curve roads (which a bound mountains home state), this is a disaster waiting to happen. ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis***761982.

On March 5 I was driving down a slight hill at approximately 40 mph when the engine stalled with no warning. I lost use of my power steering and had very little time to steer my car onto the shoulder of the road to avoid being rear-ended.

Manufacturer contacted, unaware of problem in 2002 Mazda Tribute, unable to give any assurrance of problem resolution steps and procedures. Extreme safety hazard if engine stalls in traffic.

Proceeding on a slight downhill at roughly 40 mph my new vehicle's engine stalled/died. I imediately slipped the transmission into neutral and re-started. This allowed me to continue. Power brakes and steering were non-operable during this time. Had I been proceeding at a faster speed or not reacted quickly this could have been a very dangerous situation. I have heard this has been an issue with these vehicles.

Engines stalling on these vehicles, looks like another tire problem that is going to take years to resolve I have submitted questions to you before but nobody wants to take responsibility for looking into this issue I have been told to file complaints or call I think with all the reports on your web site you would be looking into this issue before we are checking to see how many people are killed in these SUV.
