Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2003 MAZDA TRIBUTE ON JUNE 26, 2008. THE CAR WAS WRECKED TODAY 7/1/08. THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AND RAN INTO THE BACK OF A VAN IN FRONT OF US. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE AUTO DEALER, EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED ( I HAD A 5 DAY RETURN POLICY) I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER ABLE TO RETURN BECAUSE IT WAS WRECKED. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY FACTORY RECALLS. THE DEALER GAVE ME THE TOLL FREE NUMBER TO CALL MAZDA. IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON ABS BRAKES FOR MY VEHICLE AND IT WAS NEVER BROUGHT IN TO BE SERVICED. I'M THANKFUL NO ONE WAS HURT. I HAD DRIVEN 500 MILES PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT AT SPEEDS FROM 5-70MPH. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!!!!!!! *TR
