Mazda Tribute Lighting problems by year

Flashers came on when car was started and will not turn off. *Tr

Since I have owned this car the 'door ajar' light is mostly on--all the time. It is a minor annoyance; however, I am reading tons of other mazda tribute owners with the same issue. No one I've had it to--including the dealer--could figure out what is wrong. It clearly is a defect. Sometimes I am concerned it will pose a safety issue as, for instance, it will be off (rare, but sometimes it turns off). Then I roll down a window, or sometimes do nothing, and then the light suddenly comes on. It dings and the interior lights come on in the car as though someone opened a door. I ask that you investigate this issue and hold mazda responsible for fixing this issue. Thank you! *Tr

The hazard light button on the dashboard fell inboard. The button was never used/pushed as there has never been an occasion to use it. I spoke with the car dealer and he said the plastic on the inside was broken that held the button in place and was not covered under any warranty for the car. Since there was no reason to use the hazard lights so far, the plastic was not broken from use. Now I'm driving my car without any safety hazard lights to use should an occasion arise. My car is currently under another recall - 6821g and would like the hazard lights fixed at the same time. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 mazda tribute. While driving at night, the contact stated that the headlights failed without warning. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified and the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The current and failure mileages were unknown. The vin was unavailable.

2005 Mazda tribute with 60,000 miles, hazard flashers started going off in the middle of the night...Would not turn off...Stuck thin cardboard under switch to hold switch in..Dealer says no problems like this before. Stopped on its on..Then started again..Will have to take to dealer to get this problem fixed, warranty is out...Expensive job..Never touched the switch before this happened...Aggravated! *Tr

Major transmission leak, it kept leaking everywhere even at the dealership it was leaking, but for some reason the car drove normal, they need to recall this fast, major problems with this car 28,000 miles and the brakes are making grumbling noises when its left to cool for like 19 minutes, plus one of the speakers sound distorted. Transmission leaked and now my prefect garage and read tranny fluid everywhere!!! Mazda and ford please stop making cars. *Tr

2008 Mazda tribute condensation in sealed beam headlight. Dealership is saying that mazda corporate sent out an email disallowing the repair of headlights with condensation in them. The corporate email apparently states that this is a "normal" occurrence and will not be covered under warranty. I am afraid that this could impair our night vision or lead to an electrical short in the vehicle. Please investigate the validity of mazdas claim since water should not be in the headlight. Car is at town north mazda in richardson tx. *Tr

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. *AK

The vehicle pulled to the right so severely, that constant attention had to be maintained on the steering wheel.*Ak the pull was more severe at higher speeds. The dealer attempted to fix the vehicle 7 times, and they stated the problem was caused by crown of the road or the consumer's tires. Also there was condensation in the headlamp. *Jb

The headlight lens cover contained high condensation, the dealer replaced the cover. *Jb

Both fog light lenses have shattered for no apparent reason while highway driving. Mazda tribute is 8 months old. Taken to dealer for repair after first one broke, and shop man said they have replaced about six of them. The lenses are glass, and obviously very fragile glass at that. Was told that warranty would not cover as it is due to road hazard. Shop man also said at the time, that it would cost about $190. To repair, and I might want to hold off until there are some after market products available that...

1. Mositure in passenger side headlight at 10kmi. 2. Coolant indicator light @ 14k mi. 3. Engine light @ 15k mi. 4. Engine shuts down, lose brakes and steering, traveling at 55-60 mph approaching and slowing down to make a left-hand turn at a slightly downward slope in road. Had to put vehicle in park and restart engine. Could have turned in front of oncoming vehicles and been hit broadside due to loss of all power.Ake. Nlm

The light on the instrument panel indicating a door is open comes on by itself anytime it's hot outside. I am unable to keep the overhead interior lights on in the vehicle. There have been three attempts to fix this. The master cylinder clutch has also gone bad at 8k miles...

Water buildup in right (passenger side) headlight with no apparant cracks. *Ak

Parking lights are integrated with an engine off headlight timer. Lights will extinguish after approximately 90 seconds. Dearlership reports there is no known way to override this timer.Vehicle cannot be parked with illumination for more than approximately 90 seconds.*Ak
