Mazda Tribute owners have reported 4 problems related to sway bar (under the suspension category).
Braking system (abs) failed (I could have killed someone or myself) no back pressure going up hills resulting in failing suspension all front end has failed all door latches failed I'm terrified to operate this vehicle!!!!! recall notices where never sent to me and modern motors only completed recall numbers 7514d and 6812g why is it that recalls are closed when I obviously had issues and I never received notices? I purchased my Mazda Tribute 2004 at modern motors in 2008 as the second owner. I was never informed of these recalls and I think it's only fair that they should be done at no charge. Report receipt date: Dec 10, 2004 NHTSA campaign number: 04v583000 component(s): vehicle speed control report receipt date: Dec 23, 2004 NHTSA campaign number: 04v605000 component(s): latches/locks/linkages (my rear glass latches have been broken/defect) report receipt date: Mar 29, 2007 NHTSA campaign number: 07e023000 component(s): service brakes, hydraulic report receipt date: Apr 10, 2007 NHTSA campaign number: 07v157000 component(s): service brakes, hydraulic report receipt date: Jul 27, 2012 NHTSA campaign number: 12v357000 component(s): engine and engine cooling , vehicle speed control report receipt date: Apr 04, 2014 NHTSA campaign number: 14v174000 component(s): structure since I was the second owner why wasn't I informed of such defects/recalls??? this is what modern motors has typed on my work order that needs to be done. Gasket is leaking, front axle seals are leaking, front and rear pinion seals are leaking, rear shocks are leaking, front sway bar links have play, front and rear molded rubber brake hose are cracked. Exhaust hanger is broken, gas tank strap has been modified because there was no holder to hold the tank up and on. Needs tires and alignment which I can do.

I have had constant problems with my Mazda. In 2003 I had to get new sway bar links. This SUV is treated well and should not of had such a problem so early. Than in 2005 had to have two coil packs replaced. 2006 had to have to more coil packs replaced ,thanks goodness I only have 6 coil packs. Now the last three years I have had problems with my catalytic converters ( not sure if that is spelled right) but I had a new one put in because my SUV would not run at all little did they inform me that my SUV has four so now I am having the same problem because of another one going bad.
