NHTSA Complaint #10478384 — 2001 MAZDA TRIBUTE

THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING, I THOUGHT MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S NOW CONSIDERED AN OLD CAR, BUT THEN JUST RECENTLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER DOOR. I THOUGHT, HMMMM MAYBE I SHOULD LOOK THIS UP ON THE INTERNET. BAM!!! MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME DEFECT AND NO RECALL!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE COULD ACTUALLY GET KILLED FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT OF THEIR CAR. SO, LET'S GO THROUGH A SCENARIO. I GET IN A CAR ACCIDENT, THE POWER DOES NOT WORK TO OPEN THE WINDOWS, THE CAR IS ON FIRE. I CAN'T GET OUT THROUGH DRIVER DOOR OR PASSENGER. SO NOW, I AM STRUGGLING TO GET TO THE BACK SEAT TO OPEN A DOOR. BUT WAIT, THAT'S IF I DON'T CATCH ON FIRE FIRST. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET THIS TO BE A RECALL. WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE ACTUALLY GETTING KILLED. BECAUSE IF IT DOES, THEN ALL THESE ANGRY PEOPLE WHO HAD ISSUES THAT YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TOO WILL TOTALLY BE ON YOUR[XXX]! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!
