| Electronic Stability Control problems |
Takata recall this 2005 Mazda Tribute. While driving down the road the light start to flash and there is a car that shows up on my dash I have had this looked at. And everyone said it was wiring problems this SUV has almost. Had me hit and in a car wreck. Because. It will shut down and no pull a hill. Or lose it power.
When driving, the car is all over the road. I have changed the tires, and it still waivers. . Its like the steering component is loose, or the stability cable is loose. Steering wanders back and forth and it hard to contain even more when windy. Pulls to the right all the time. I have also done wheel adjustments and alignings, and doesn't help. I only have 56,000 on the car.
I purchased a 2010 Mazda I grand touring 10/21/09. Electronic stability control was defective by 10/24/09. The dealer could not get the part . I was told that the car was too new. A new Mazda was brought in and the part was taken from it after 29 days at the dealer. I have a squeal noise coming from the rear upon acceleration from a full stop. Mazda says it is the transfer case that rubs and makes the noise. Nothing to worry not a safety issue. Car has 1500 miles on it. Car has never been the same since the ecs was replaced 1/9/10. Not sure what Mazda is going to do. They did not advise me that they would be replacing transmission. I was told I could drive it like it is and live with the noise, as it is not a safety issue. I would receive a small amount to keep the car Mazda may consider a trade me out I was told if I do not want the money. I do not feel safe driving my 2010 Tribute. Waiting to hear from Mazda.
We took to the Mazda dealer (5900 north oak trafficway, kansas city, mo 64118) in 2009 because the car did not start. They changed the starter motor and still it did not work then they replaced the battery and it did not work again them they said it is the alternator this all happened just within a week or two and had to spend lot of money. Then again we had to replace the battery four times with in 2009 to 2014. Right now we have the same problem and an auto dealer is saying it is the alternator. I strongly think there should be some kind of recall to this as I have not seen a car like this that has so many electrical problem and this is not safe. Thank you for checking on this and hope this problem will be solved and people will not have any problems in the future.
