Consumer Description

THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK AND LATCH SYSTEM FAILED. THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE ACTUATING ROD BROKE AWAY FROM THE LATCH. MAZDA SEEMED TO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THE LATE 1980'S WITH THE 626 AND 929; RECALLS WERE PERFORMED THEN. PROBLEM IS I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. I HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH GLUING IT FOR THE PAST YEAR. NOW THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO ATTACHED THE ACTUATING ROD TOO. I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPEN ON THE SAME VEHICLE (2002 MAZDA TRIBUTE LX). *TR
