2001 MAZDA TRIBUTE Complaints

THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE THE TRUCK WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A FLAT, DRY ROAD AT ABOUT 40 MPH. WHEN THAT HAPPENED, THE POWER STEERING AND THE POWER BRAKES STOPPED WORKING, SO THE TRUCK WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND TO STOP. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER AND THEN WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE TO US BUT THIS IS STILL VERY SERIOUS. WE THINK THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THIS TRUCK. *AK

THE TRIBUTE LOSS ALL POWER COMING DOWN A MOUNTAIN PASS, I STOPPED IT ON SIDE OF ROAD TURNED OFF, CHECKED OIL, IT WAS OK, SO I STARTED IT UP AND DROVE TO THE MAZDA DEALER. THEY PUT IT IN FOR SERVICE, WHEN I PICKED IT UP THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THERE WAS NO PAPERWORK. THIS HAPPENED COMING DOWN A MOUNTAIN PASS WHICH IS HAS SEVERAL SHARP TURNS. I TRAVEL THIS PASS OFTEN AND FEEL THIS IS A SAFTY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I COULD HAVE BEEN ON A TURN WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. JUDY & BILL WHITNEY. *AK
