NHTSA Complaint #10127870 — 2002 MAZDA TRIBUTE

CONSUMER STATES SHE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER NOTICE IN THE MAIL IN 1-05 REGARDING THE ACCELERATOR CABLE. THERE WAS NO RECALL # AVAILABLE. SHE TOOK IT IN TO A DEALER AND THEY EITHER REPLACED/OR REPAIRED THE CABLE, SHE WAS NOT SURE. SHE HAS NOTICED AN EXTREME CHANGE IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SINCE THEN. THE GAS PEDAL SEEMS TO BE TOO LOSE; SHE SAYS THERE SEEMS TO BE NO TENSION IN THE PEDAL. SHE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HE TOLD HER THAT WAS NORMAL; THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENT CABLE IN THE CAR AND THAT WAS WHAT SHE WAS FEELING. SHE DOES NOT AGREE. SHE HAS NOT YET REPORTED THIS TO THE MANUFACTURER. SHE WANTS THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE CABLE THEY SAY THEY REPLACED. *JB
