NHTSA Complaint #10303903 — 2002 MAZDA TRIBUTE

MY CAR WAS PARKED FOR TWO DAYS WHEN A FIRE STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE STARTED ON THE ABS MODULE AND BURNED THE WIRE HARNESS ATTACHED TO THE ABS MODULE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE THE FIRE DID MAJOR DAMAGE WAS DONE, HOWEVER, I HAD TO COVER THE DEDUCTIBLE AND INSURANCE HAD TO COVER THE REST OF THE COST. THIS CAR HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THE ABS AND I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN RECALLED. AFTER SERVICE, I CONTINUED TO RECEIVE RECALL NOTICES, THOUGHT I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THAT NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. *TR
