Tribute

  • 80,000 miles
The contact owns a 2005 Mazda Tribute. The contact stated while driving at approximate speeds of 70 mph, the vehicle began abnormal jerking and the engine would idle very low, almost to a stop. The dealer advised restarting the engine to correct the failure. The failure persisted and the vehicle was taken to the dealer for further diagnostic testing. The dealer replaced the computer, coil springs and performed a tune-up. The vehicle resumed normal operation after repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 84,000. Updated 11/03/10.

Tribute

  • miles
When accelerating greater than 30 miles per hour the car is so loud you can't hear the radio and its too loud for my son the dealer says there is nothing wrong. I just purchased this car (used) on Monday Jan 21,08 I have been calling the madza dealership they keep telling me to wait someone will get back to me. I took the car back in for service to have the sound re-evaluated the serviceman at Mazda dealership said there was nothing he could do because it was raining and that it may be causing the loud noise. What should I do? it is a 2005 Mazda Tribute.
