Brake Antilock Control Unit/module problems of the 2003 Mazda Tribute

The contact owns a 2003 Mazda Tribute. The contact stated that his VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 07v157000 (service brakes, hydraulic:anti lock:control unit/module). He was experiencing issues with the abs. The modular connector had to be replaced because it lost connection with the computer and locked the braking system. While driving between 35-45 mph, the front passenger side wheel froze and slowed down the vehicle. A mechanic repaired the failure because the wheel would lock and cause the vehicle to spin. The contact called the manufacturer to inquire about a recall, and was informed that they would not process a reimbursement because he did not take the vehicle to an authorized dealer for repair. The failure mileage was 40,000. Updated 12/30/08. Updated 01/05/09.

Whenever I drive my vehicle for any extended amount of time it smells as though something is burning when I stop. The smell seems to be coming from around the front wheels. The smell is especially strong on the drivers side. I received a recall notice earlier on this year for a faulty brake/abs switch. I took the vehicle in to a local Mazda dealer who said there was nothing wrong with the vehicle hence they replaced nothing. I am filing this complaint as there might be others having this same problem.
