NHTSA Complaint #10537207 — 2006 MAZDA TRIBUTE

2006 MAZDA TRIBUTE S 3.0L 6 CYL. 4X4 RECEIVED THE DREADED NEWS A P0740 CODE ALONG WITH 4 OTHERS ALL DEALING WITH THE TRANSMISSIONO. DRIVING MY CAR CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND VEHICLE WOULD THEN ONLY GO 30 MILES AN HOUR. PLUS WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE ANYMORE. P0740 DEALS WITH A TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, P0720 OUTPUT SHAFT SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION AND SOME OTHERS DEALING WITH A SPEED CABLE, ETC.... APPEARS MAZDA TRIBUTE'S HAVE THIS KNOW PROBLEM AND MAZDA IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED MORE AND A RECALL ISSUED BY MAZDA FOR ALL YEARS ON THIS VEHICLE. MAINTENANCE WOULD DONE ON THE TRANSMISSION AT THE RIGHT INTERVALS AND THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPEN. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS CHECK BY THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE FLUIDS. NOTICE MAZDA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT ONLY FOR 2000 - 2003 YEARS I BELIEVE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I NOTICE A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING TO GET THEIR TRANSMISSION OVERHAULED. KNEW I SHOULD OF STUCK WITH A FORD BECAUSE NO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLES. ALL FORDS HAVE OVER 160000 MILES ON THEM. PLUS ONE A 2003 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY HAS OVER 218,000 MILES ON IT. NEED TO GET MAZDA TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THEIR TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH IT. *TR
