Car Stall problems of the 2003 Mazda Tribute

The contact owns a 2003 Mazda Tribute. The contact stated that when driving uphill or approaching a stop sign, the vehicle would stall. The vehicle had been to the dealer several times; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The dealer replaced the battery but to no avail. The contact was able to locate a recall, in which she believed to be directly related to the failure (NHTSA campaign id number 04v175000: power train: automatic transmission: control module tcm, pcm), however her VIN was not included. The manufacturer would not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage 82,000. Updated 11/03/10 the consumer also stated the vehicle would stall while backing up, and when it stalled, it couldn't be restarted. Updated 11/04/jb.

Vehicle is sometimes hard to start and it stalls frequently in traffic. A tune-up was done, fuel system parts replaced. Dealer recently reprogrammed the pcm with no change in performance. Near accident this morning with a school bus. Vehicle just cut off as I slowed to make a right turn.

While driving vehicle stalled without warning.

Vehicle stalled four times in the time I have had it since June of 2002. The cd player also quit working, but my main concern was the stalling while driving , usually around 30-35 mph, going downhill, each time. I will give the most recent date of the stall.
