| I was fully stopped at a stop sign on 8/31. i gently stepped on the gas pedal to make a right hand turn onto a busy street and my 05 mazda tribute took off at an uncontrollable rate of speed and i remember my vehicle jumping the curve, running threw a 4' sago palm (on the grass) and traveling approximately 35' - 45') before my brakes stopped the vehicle. the front end was severely damaged, passenger side rear wheel well hanging and damage to underside (i think, due to the palm). driver's side airbag caused a few burns on my hand and arm. my vehicle was stopped in the middle of the road and no other vehicles were involved. had i not stopped in time, there would have been other vehicles involved and more injuries or even death. several police vehicles came and an accident report was filed. *tr | |||

| I purchased a 2005 mazda tribute new from a dealership in elgin, il. when the vehicle was approximately 2 years old, the rear lift gate began to rust, resulting in the paint peeling and flaking off. this has continued to get worse and has occured in mutliple areas on the rear lift gate. though i located multiple reports of this same problem on the internet, there has been no recalls. one report stated there was a technicial issue with the paint by ford (where the vehicles are manufactured) used causing this problem, but ford has not corrected the problem or issued a recall. | |||
