1. The first problem I had with my Tribute was all the power steering fluid had leaked out, so they replaced the rack and pinion. 2. The second, when going for my first brake job I'm informed that the front rotors are too thin and under specs. And need to be replaced (a $700 job) so, I went to Mazda and they said the brake pads are too hard for the rotors are are unusually wearing so, they replaced my rotors. 3. The third, a week later I'm strained, because the starter stuck and burned itself out, they towed the car and replaced the starter. 4. The fourth, they told me that the master cylinder had leakage so, I had to have them fix that. 5. The fifth, now I am currently dealing with a sputtering or cluncking noise that occurs upon slow acceleration of 40 mph with pedal vibration and also occurs sometimes at 60 mph now. They haven't been able to figure out and fix this problem yet. But, thought they fixed the problem because they found a bushing near the engine compartment that was completely cracked so, they replaced that. Until next time. . . . .
