Tribute

  • 744 miles
I purchased a 2010 Mazda I grand touring 10/21/09. Electronic stability control was defective by 10/24/09. The dealer could not get the part. I was told that the car was too new. A new Mazda was brought in and the part was taken from it after 29 days at the dealer. I have a squeal noise coming from the rear upon acceleration from a full stop. Mazda says it is the transfer case that rubs and makes the noise. Nothing to worry not a safety issue. Car has 1500 miles on it. Car has never been the same since the ecs was replaced 1/9/10. Not sure what Mazda is going to do. They did not advise me that they would be replacing transmission. I was told I could drive it like it is and live with the noise, as it is not a safety issue. I would receive a small amount to keep the car Mazda may consider a trade me out I was told if I do not want the money. I do not feel safe driving my 2010 Tribute. Waiting to hear from Mazda.
