Consumer Description

THE MADZA TRIBUTE 2001 STALLS WITHOUT WARNING, AT VARYING SPEEDS. BOTH THE BRAKES AND THE STEERING SYSTEM ARE INOPERABLE. THE CAR STARTS AGAIN AFTER THIS OCCURS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES! LUCKILY, MY SON WHO DRIVES THIS CAR HASN'T BEEN INJURED. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE NEXT TIME? WHAT IF HE IS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 55 OR 65 MILES AN HOUR? CAN MAZDA ASSURE ME THAT HE WON'T BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED? THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS OFFERED SEVERAL EXPLANATIONS AFTER VERIFYING THAT THIS IS A ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE AIR INTAKE VALVE STICKS WHEN CARBON BUILDS UP ON IT. NOW WE ARE TOLD IT IS A FLAW IN THE COMPUTER. CLEARLY THERE IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW WHICH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR. THIS CAR IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN! HOW CAN I POSSIBLY ALLOW MY SON TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE?!! *LA
