Consumer Description

THE INSIDE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE OF MY 2001 MAZDA TRIBUTE COMPLETELY STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THIS WAS SUDDEN, WITHOUT WARNING, AND PERMANENT. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR AT THIS POINT IS TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR USING THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. THUS, THE DRIVER IS ESSENTIALLY TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE UNLESS THEY CAN ACCESS THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR OR EXIT USING ANOTHER DOOR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH 2001 MAZDA TRIBUTES BASED ON A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH. *TR
