| I have several problems with my mazda tribute 4 cylinder 2wd. the #1 problem is that the gas peddle freezes especially when it's cold outside. i try to press down on it and it doesn't move. i have to do this a couple of times before it starts working and then i have to be careful that i don't go shooting across the rode. i was told this could be carbon buildup by the dealers serviceman. i also have to put air in the tires every week when it's cold and every other week when it's not. i had a tire pressure valve leak in one of the tires and now i think i have another. my vehicle has 54440 miles on it and the further it has been driven is 36 miles. it is used for local driving only as i would be afraid to drive it any further than that. i also need front stabilizer links. i just replaced the battery but now when i try to start the vehicle, everything lights up but it doesn't start or make any sound when i turn the key. i have to try this several times before it finally starts. i bought this vehicle new and i have all these problems. the front wheel drive is worthless, i slide all over the place and fish tail backing up in my driveway. these problems are several times a day and i don't have the money to keep fixing these problems because this vehicle should not be having these problems. i was told that the tires may need the rims cleaned to help with the tire pressure light coming on. of course my warranty is expired as is my roadside assistance. i wouldn't buy another mazda tribute or recommend it to anyone. and since when does it cost $600 plus for a tune up? | |||

| 2006 mazda tribute with continental contitrac tires, only 17,000 miles on vehicle, all 4 tires are separating between treads. one tire had 2 separate fractures on tire in different places causing tire to go flat. i did research on these tires, there are numerous problems with sidewall blowouts and fractures between treads. this has cause thousands of dollars in body damage and consumers having to replace these tires at their own expense. continental needs to own up to their defective product and recall and replace all the tires at no expense to the consumer. *jb | |||

| Tl* - the contact has a 2006 mazda tribute with an odometer reading of 11000 miles. the contact stated she took the vehicle to a repair shop to have it serviced and they told her that all four tires are showing signs of cupping. due to the vehicles low mileage the contact feels that she should not have this type of tire damage. the shop stated that uneven tire tread wear was the reason for the cupping. *nm | |||
