Consumer Description

I AM REPORTING WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A NEW SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WITH 2001 MAZDA TRIBUTES. THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL, CAUSING SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER BRAKES/STEERING, AND I BARELY AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS I APPROACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. I LEARNED FROM DEALER THAT I AM THE 5TH CUSTOMER AT THEIR DEALERSHIP ALONE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM (DOWNHILL STALL) AND THAT MAZDA HAS NO FIX YET BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND MAZDA HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. I BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP IS DOING EVERYTHING WITHIN THEIR POWER. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE GOVERNMENT GET INVOLVED AND FORCE MAZDA HEADQUARTERS TO STEP UP THEIR INVESTIGATION AND ISSUE A WARNING TO CONSUMERS BEFORE PEOPLE DIE.*AK
