problem #1

Jan 312003

Tribute ESX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,200 miles

My 2002 Mazda Tribute developed a severe vibration when making hard left or right turns after only 3300 miles. Mazda first replaced all wheel bearings - problem still persisted. Next they re-aligned the front end - problem still there. Finally, they contacted Mazda in Japan and were told that several such problems had been reported and were resolved by replacing the entire transmission. That's what they did and it resolved the problem.
