| My 2005 mazda tribute began to vibrate uncontrollably, skips and making loud popping noises. the car than shut down completely in traffic. i then had it towed to the dealership and they said that the computer was completely burned up. the car was still under warranty and so they fixed it at no cost to me which was 2,000 dollars. however, i was responsible for buying new keys which cost 600 dollars. my car is current in the shop with the same problem. i also had to replace the ignition coils twice. it has been less than a year. *tr | |||

| Being in one dealer 4 times and another one time. still not fixed whining noise in back, ticking and clicking noise in rotor/ brake, air conditioner, heat, rough drive, and seat sagging. new dealer verified the problems, and said all was the characteristic of the car, but we fixed the rotor/brake noise by resurfacing the rotor. the first dealer already did the resurfacing. but no fix. that wasa what 2d dealer verified in 1st place. i did not have any more time to waste by going to 3rd dealer. not fix as of 4/9/07. what else i need to do? car has 36,ooo miles. *ak | |||
| FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | |||

| 2005 mazda 3 sedan has had the following fuel/stall failures over the last 6 months. 1st incident happened while driving on freeway, car stalled and had to pulled to side of road and restarted after several minutes and attempts. 2nd incident, car was parked in owners driveway and failed to start (lack of fuel), 3rd incident car again parked in owners driveway and failed to start (fuel starvation). all three times the car was taken to dealership and nothing was repaired. dealership service advisors claimed that fuel starvation/stalling could not be duplicated. the fuel starvation/stalling seems to happened randomly, but the risk of it stalling during driving is a very unsafe hazard. *nm | |||

| While driving my mazda 2000 protege(automatic) home from friends on july 4 th, noticed that there was a big jerk from transmission and engine started rewing at ~4k to ~5k and the car was loosing power. i was doing 55 mph at the time and the speed came down to 40 mph. from that point on car would not go beyond 40 mph and engine still keeps rewing at that speed. i was on a highway in the car alone and was feared for life that the engine rewing with loud noice would blow on me. had to take local roads to make it to home. the car has 37k miles on it and was gently driven. all the required maintenance work was performed. dealer after performing the diagnostics came back with there was an internal failure with the transmission and it needs to be replaced costing over $2600. | |||

| Madza 2005 tribute, ccasional brake failure - 3 times - brakes work fine, then go nearly to floor when fails. the engine speeds up slightly, just like hitting the clutch before brakes. the dealer is replacing the master cyclinder, but i think the problem is a race condition between the awd and the brakes - the awd might think that the brakes are really an indication of slippage, so the awd tells the abs not to activate. the dealer cannot explain how the brakes recover if the master cylinder is at fault. i also suspect that the dealer erased any previous information concerning repairs on this vehicle. i had bought this vehicle with 4005 miles and the brakes failed me three times already in the next 800 miles. *ak | |||

| My wife was driving her new mazda 3 (5 dr hatchback) to work. she applied full throttle acceleration to pass a slow moving car. after completing the pass, and backing off of the accelerator, the car stayed at max throttle/rpm. she had to put the car in nuetral to slow down and after a few seconds of redline rpm, the throttle came down to idle. i drove the car a few days later and was able to duplicate the same problem. subsequnetly, 2 dealers have been unable to duplicate the problem or isolate a failure. we are very leary of driving this car, and are fearful this will cause an accident if it happens again.*ak | |||
