2011 MAZDA TRIBUTE HYBRID Complaints

A RECALL 16V-788 WAS PUBLISHED ON OCT. 26,2016 AND HAS YET TO BE REMEDIED. THE STATUS SHOWS "RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". IT HAS BEEN OVER 14 MONTHS. THIS NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED. WE HAVEN'T BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL (THAT WE CAN REMEMBER) NOR CAN IT BE COMPLETED OVER 14 MONTHS LATER.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, ENGINE JUST FAILED TO ACCELERATE SUDDENLY AND HAD TO COAST OVER TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. ENGINE DID NOT TURN COMPLETELY OFF AS IT CONTINUED TO HESITATE AND RPMS FLUCTUATED BETWEEN 500-1000 BUT GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE CAR. IMMEDIATELY PUT HAZARD LIGHTS ON SO CARS BEHIND ME WOULD KNOW THAR I WAS NOT AT CONSTANT SPEED ANYMORE. *TR

HEAD-ON COLLISION WITH POWER POLE AT 55 MPH. DRIVER AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. (NO PASSENGERS ON BOARD). *TR

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD AN ACCELERATION ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. MANY MANY TIMES, FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS JUST NOT GOING TO MOVE WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. ABOUT 4 WEEKS, AGO, CAR LITERALLY JUST WOULDN'T MOVE WHEN I WAS IN TRAFFIC, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, INDICATING A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHO FOUND NOTHING. 2 DAYS AGO, EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, IN TRAFFIC. WE HAD THE CAR AGAIN TOWED, AND THIS TIME THEY FOUND THE THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I THINK IT WAS ALWAYS BAD, BUT 2011 WAS NOT A VEHICLE YEAR INCLUDED IN THE THROTTLE RECALL FOR THE MAZDA TRIBUTE. *TR

CAR BEGIN TO SHIMMY BETWEEN GEAR SHIFTS FELT LIKE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO FALL OUT ON THE ROAD. SLIPPED BETWEEN GEAR SHIFTS INTERMITTENTLY AFTERWORDS

THE AUTOMATIC PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. MY WIFE WEIGHS ABOUT 120 POUNDS AND THE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT RANDOM ON THE HIGHWAY ARE JUST SITTING STILL. THE DEALER HAS ZERO SOLUTIONS AND WE ARE FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL WHICH STATES THE WEIGHT THRESHOLD TO BE 80 LBS. IF WE'RE IN AN ACCIDENT AND HER AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY THERE WILL BE A PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS AN 2011 MAZDA TRIBUTE. *TR
