| Tl- the contact owns a 2001 mazda tribute. the contact stated that while driving 55 mph the accelerator pedal was abnormally depressed into the floorboard and became stuck, causing the vehicle to accelerate rapidly. the contact had to shift into neutral in order to stop the vehicle. the contact took the vehicle to a mechanic and was told that the throttle cable had become lodged between the engine motor plate. the contact pulled the plate off and corrected the failure. the failure mileage was 103,000 and the current mileage was 150,000. kmj | |||

| Picked up my mazda from having new brakes installed to take boat out on memorial weekend. luckily i was towing my boat as the drag slowed me from going any faster as i approached the on ramp to interstate i-69 and my acceleration wasn't under my control. i was told at the time from firestone that it was caused by the poor design and location of the cruise control cable. i have learned this week that there is a petition 49 cfr part 552;557 on this matter. i am bothered that steps were not taken to notify current owners of this problem, and that this incident could have endangered my life. i consider myself lucky of the circumstances that i mentioned and i wasn't yet on the interstate when this occurred!! this could have been addressed within the recall time frame of my aging, but still reliable tribby! *tr | |||

| 2001 tribute was in cruise control cresting a hill when traffic slowed, i applied the brakes but soon realized that not only was the car still in cruise, but that the engine was beginning to race and i was having to brake hard. i was able to get to the shoulder and placed the car into neutral whereupon the engine revved so high that it shut itself down. i had it towed to my mechanic who was unable to find anything wrong with the car. i feared the worst but some system shut the engine down before it self-destructed. *tr | |||

| My tribute has started to accelerate by itself. it scares me anymore to drive it. when i start it sometimes the pedal goes straight down by itself and reverse up the motor and just the other day i was slowly backing out of a parking space and when i put my foot on the brake the accelerator pedal went to the floor and jerk me back fast i was lucky i had my foot on the brake. i just pushed the brake to the floor and it stopped . this is happening alot lately and getting worst. my car should not accelerate by itself. now after reading that there are alot of tribute owners having the same problem i am really scared to drive mine. *tr | |||

| On sunday 12/21/08, while driving my 2001 mazda tribute on local freeway at approximately 55 mph, in close to 0 degree fahrenheit weather, i experienced stuck throttle. gas pedal and the portion of associated linkage visible from passenger compartment were not obstructed in any way. all efforts to return engine to idle speed, including rapidly depressing gas pedal to near the floor and then rapidly releasing it, were unsuccessful. throttle was stuck at 4000 rpm. had to put transmission into neutral and then coast to a stop on an offramp. once stopped, i turned off and then restarted engine several times. at restart, engine would immediately race up to and stay at 4000 rpm, even though i did not even touch the gas pedal. wound up having to get vehicle towed to a mazda dealer repair facility, which was closed at the time due to it being sunday. the dealership representative told me that, upon restarting the vehicle the next day, the throttle was no longer stuck. said the linkage probably froze up due to the previous day's cold weather but had thawed out. he recommended lubricating it, which i authorized. on 1/1/09, i dropped the vehicle at a different mazda repair facility because of an unrelated problem. the dealer representative told me that, when he drove the vehicle into the garage from outside (where it had sat overnight in near zero weather), the throttle stuck. the throttle stuck a few times last winter in 10 degree or below weather but only momentarily. i noted today, according to your website, that there was a recall on 2001mazda tributes equipped with speed control because of a defect that caused throttles to stick. i am not sure what speed control is. my tribute, which i purchased used, does not have cruise control. whether it originally had cruise control, which may have been removed by someone prior to my purchase, i do not know. *tr | |||

| After starting my 2001 mazda tribute recently, the engine revved to 4000rpm. this happened more than once. drove to mechanic and he indicated that the throttle cable was sticking. this presents a serious safety issue. went online to look at recalls. found out that 121,000 tributes made between 2002-2004 have nhsta recalls for sticking throttle control cables. mazda north america indicated my vehicle was not included in a recall campaign for the throttle cable based on the vin. *tr | |||

| In the past 30 days i have had 5 incidents where upon exiting from the highway the rpms on my 2001 mazda tribute failed to come down to idle speed when i was trying to stop. this caused the vehicle to pull and i had to apply the breaks hard. i tried putting the vehicle into neutral and when i did the vehicle's rpms increased to over 4000. i was able to pull over and shut the vehicle off. it takes about 20 minutes of the vehicle being off before i am able to restart and resume normal operation. i have taken the vehicle into the dealership but they were unable to find anything wrong when they ran their diagnostics an they were unable to recreate the problem. i contacted mazda after seeing a description of a similar problem in nhtsa campaign id: 00v210002, but was told that there was no recall and they refused to acknowledge that there were any investigations or recalls for the 2001 tributes. *jb | |||

| I was shopping at the local walmart with my wife, who was driving the vehicle. we were parked in the walmart parking lot. on leaving, she engaged the car in drive and began to ease out of the parking space. the car suddenly surged forward and she was unable to stop it even though she was applying the brakes very hard. this had happened to me several times before but always in a place that was safe and where i could bring the car to a stop. it always happened as i was moving from a parked position. on this occasion, it was not safe, and we crashed into another car. the tribute was damaged at a cost of $5,000 to repair. the other car also had extensive damages. i asked the dealer who repaired the car to examine the cruise control and accelerator pedal for a defect. he only told me that it looked normal. my wife is afraid to drive this car now and i have a lot of apprehension when i first start the car and begin to drive. i think that there must be a subtle defect in either the cruise control or the accelerator that causes this unexpected surge when first starting from a parked position. *nm | |||

| During braking when speed became slower than 10 m/h engine rpm go to 0 which is leading to turning enging off. happened 2 times with me. not sure if it is ignition system or transmission to restart a car you need to switch gear to parking and turn key all the way back. i do beleive this could cause a crash on intersection.*ak | |||

| Driver accelerated, with pedal, while cruise control was set at 70 mph. removing foot from accelerator pedal and applying the brake did not seem to disengage the cruise; the engine seemed to surge. the cruise control off button also seemed to have no effect on the cruise. the resistance in the brake pedal increased and engine continued to surge as the vehicle speed was decreased to around 50 mph. driver shifted into neutral; the engine rpm shot up. driver then shifted into progressively lower gears and applied the brake until vehicle stopped. driver then shifted into park, and shut off the engine. smoke was coming out of the engine compartment. vehicle was towed and determined to have a blown engine. owner alleges that mazda dealer (flow mazda in fayetteville) stated that there is recall campaign (00v-210 002) for this issue, but that her vehicle is not covered due to her vehicle's build date. per relevant 573, the effected build date range is ford's kcap 4/17/00 through 7/24/00; subject vehicle build date is unknown. vin range is 4f2******1km00137 through 4f2******1km11634. owner's vin is 4f2cu09101km05648. owner alleges to never have received an owner notification for this recall. *nm | |||
