Mazda/Tribute
| | Model of the car: | Mazda/Tribute | | | General comments: | Purchased this car 4.5 months ago. Was a great car, loved the size and features I got for my $$. Was concerned it was built at the Ford plant here in Claycomo, MO, but got a great deal on the vehicle and had alredy owned a Mazda Protege that I like. Three days ago, it started sticking when it would try to shift at the 40-45 mile per hour range. After about 20 minutes my wheels started slipping and I would hear a grinding sound when the vehicle started to shift. By the time I drove to the dealership, it would not reverse. I have less than 8500 miles on the car and they are telling me it may need a brand new transmission. UGH! I have never owned a car that need repair work, let needing work within the first 6 months. I am very disappointed right now to say the least. I loved my car, but am now not sure I should even keep it : ( | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Obviously, there are some quality issues with tranmissions on these vehicles. I too have the problem I have read on many posts about the fuel smell. | | | Previous car: | First SUV. Have owned Mazda Protege and Geo Prizms in past. |
