Tl* the contact owns a 2002 mazda tribute. The contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to stop and continued to move forward.

The contact also stated that the rear hatch window detached from the vehicle. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 04v583000 (vehicle speed control),...

My battery began being drained for no apparent reason. I bought a new battery but it didn't solve the problem. When it is cold I have to have my car jumped to start most of the time. I sat in the car listening to the radio for about 15 minutes this summer and then found the battery was dead. The rear wiper stopped working and my back up lights stopped working about a year ago. Also the driver's side door would not unlock with the remote. I did have a remote start installed shortly after I purchased my car and...

I closed the rear liftgate and the rear glass shattered everywhere. Nothing was in the back and nothing touched the glass, it just shattered nigh spontaneously. It was 21 degrees outside at the time. The vehicle had the rear wiper motor mounted to the glass like in the similar 2010 ford escape and mercury mariner see http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/acm17844975/incla-pe11016-3909.Pdf. The shards of glass resulted in cuts on my hands. *Tr

On may 11, 2013 my windshield wipers stop working during rainy storming day. At first the wipers slowed down and would move every 5 to 10 minutes; thus, they stopped completely. I had a hour and half commute home before I could park the vehicle. Thinking that it was the wiper that need to be replaced, I had a mechanic to look at it; however, it was discovered that the windshield wiper linkage was broken in half. I called mazda about the recall on it the item and was told that the recall does not apply to my vin...

Incident occurred on 10/20/2012 at 7:00 pm in the fred meyer parking lot in klamath falls, oregon. Temperature out 40 degrees. Tailgate window shattered in parking lot on my 2010 mazda tribute. I came out of fred meyer. I opened the tailgate to load a few items. I shut the tailgate and the back window exploded. Shattered glass flew over 10 feet in all directions, landed on my feet, fell into the back of the vehicle. Glass pieces were tiny shards that were very sharp. I had numerous cuts on my hands trying to pick up the large pieces. I had two dogs in the back of the vehicle that the glass had come in on them and they were standing on the pieces that covered the entire back interior. *Tr

We have now had to replace 3 window regulators. (3 Different doors.) No warning that there is an issue with window. 1 Time we were driving when window just dropped open. We live in florida and rarely use the windows at all. The 2 back windows failed within a 2 week period. *Tr

While parked at a gas station the front door passenger power window slammed opened/down during normal door closure. Window regulator assembly was removed and found defective. Internal cable windings were kinked and caused plastic within power window motor to break allowing cable/window to move freely and fall to open/down position. Safety of vehicle is jeopardized...If this happened at speed it could certainly create a startling event that could cause a driver to lose control of the vehicle because of the sudden unexpected distraction by sudden rush of wind noise and environmental elements. *Tr

Lock issue - hatchback and back window only this is an issue that I have always had, and it is a pain in the neck. The hatchback door or window will not open using either the remote or the door unlock button in the car. After having groceries in the back, pizza, material being moved, etc. One has to do the following to access that area of the vehicle: 1.) Climb over the seat - many times not possible to really get at items in the back. 2.) Wait about 5 mins or so, and then the remote will unlock the...

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 mazda tribute. The contact attempted to open the front drivers side window, but he was unable to roll it down. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that the window motor failed. The vehicle was not repaired, but the dealer permanently fastened the window so that it remained closed. The failure recurred on both rear windows. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 40,000. The vin was unavailable.

Drivers side front door handle stopped working, window needs to be down in order to open door. If in an accident or fire driver will need assistance in exiting car. This is proven by all other complaints to be common with this vehicle and in hazardous situations potentially fatal unless government steps in and demands recall. Dealer wants $300.00+ To fix, have already spent $3000.00+ At dealer on computer failures and left side driver door window assembly failure. *Tr

Driver power window failure. No cause or related event trigger. Other windows continue operating normally. Consequence: potential deathtrap. *Tr

2006 Mazda tribute, rear window exploded out on its own. Blow glass out 4 feet from vehicle. *Tr

Being in one dealer 4 times and another one time. Still not fixed whining noise in back, ticking and clicking noise in rotor/ brake, air conditioner, heat, rough drive, and seat sagging. New dealer verified the problems, and said all was the characteristic of the car, but we fixed the rotor/brake noise by resurfacing the rotor. The first dealer already did the resurfacing. But no fix. That wasa what 2d dealer verified in 1st place. I did not have any more time to waste by going to 3rd dealer. Not fix as of 4/9/07. What else I need to do? Car has 36,ooo miles. *Ak

Passenger side interior door handle will not open door. Window must be run down & outside handle used to open. This has been reported to dealer who will repair @ my cost approx. A year ago the door could not be opened at all manually or electronically from the outside only from inside it was repaired by dealer my cost $149.00. Part number ectt-58-412c. *Nm

Vehicle sunroof failed after approximately 5-6 operations. Vehicle had approximately 68000 miles on 11/30/04 when taken to dealership for repair. Due to the minimal usage prior to failure, it was expected and requested that mazda pick up the repair expense. They diagnosed failure of the motor assembly requiring complete replacement of the system for $1678.00. Mazda has refused to pay for this.*Ak
