NHTSA Complaint #10251022 — 2002 MAZDA TRIBUTE

2002 TRIBUTE FROM THE FIRST WEEK THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS. 1ST THE DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE STOPPED WORKING. PLASTIC PIECE THAT ALLOWS HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR HAD BROKEN. REPAIRED $$$ PAID! 2ND THE DRIVER SIDE ELECTRIC WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING. MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. REPAIRED $$$ PAID! *** WE ARE NOW FACED WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE NOT WORKING, THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING BRAKE FLUID, AN ISSUE WITH THE 5 AND 6 SPARK PLUGS FALLING OUT FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 4 MONTHS, THE BATTERY CABLES STAYING CORRODED AND SLOW TO START, THERE IS SOME SORT OF KNOCKING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. I HAVE REPLACED THE ROTORS AND HAD OTHER SIMILIAR ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICAL THAT SEEM TO BE VERY COMMON PROBLEMS. I HAVE SPENT THE LAST 4 HOURS DOING MY RESEARCH AND SEE THAT THERE ARE COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME NATURE ON ALMOST EVERY WEB SITE. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE AVERAGE PERSON WILL WAIT ON AN 'ISSUE' TO BECOME A RECALL. I DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE TO UNROLL THE WINDOW EVERY TIME I WANT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. NOT TO MENTION HAVING TO ASK MY PASSENGER TO LET THEMSELVES OUT IN THE SAME MANNER. I AM NOT GOING TO PAY ANOTHER PENNY ON FIXING THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE PAID FOR SO MANY MAINTENANCE ISSUES THAT NOW THAT I THINK MAZDA SHOULD HAVE FIXED. WHEN DO THESE COMPLAINTS BECOME RECALL REALITY? WHAT IS MY NEXT OPTION? I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW BAD IT WOULD BE TO HAVE MY FAMILY IN THE CAR, THE ENGINE FOULS OUT BECAUSE OF THE SPARK PLUG ISSUE, THE BRAKES WON'T WORK BECAUSE OF THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAK, THE BATTERY CABLES CORRODED AND PREVENTING THE WINDOWS BEING ABLE TO LET DOWN TO OUT. I WILL CONTACT MY DEALER TOMORROW AND WORK OUT THE RECALLS I WAS NOT AWARE OF, HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET OUR DOOR LOCKS FIXED TOO! *TR
