NHTSA Complaint #10222996 — 2004 MAZDA TRIBUTE

MY WIFE PURCHASED A USED 2004 MAZDA TRIBUTE. THE ACCELERATOR CABLE FAILED AND WHEN IT FAILED THE CAR ENGINE WAS AT FULL THROTTLE WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO STOP IT. A FAILURE THAT DEFAULTS TO FULL ACCELERATION IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND LEARNED THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN RECALLED TO CORRECT THAT DEFECT. I CALLED MAZDA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WORK HAD BEEN DONE ON THE CAR. I TOLD MAZDA THAT THE RECALL WORK HAD NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM AND THAT A FAILURE THAT DEFAULTS TO A THROTTLE AT FULL ACCELERATION IS A MASSIVELY DANGEROUS DEFECT. THEY BASICALLY SAID WE DID ALL WE HAD TO DO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND WILL CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. *TR
