PROCEEDING ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL AT ROUGHLY 40 MPH MY NEW VEHICLE'S ENGINE STALLED/DIED. I IMEDIATELY SLIPPED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND RE-STARTED. THIS ALLOWED ME TO CONTINUE. POWER BRAKES AND STEERING WERE NON-OPERABLE DURING THIS TIME. HAD I BEEN PROCEEDING AT A FASTER SPEED OR NOT REACTED QUICKLY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE HEARD THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES.

VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY STALLED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN PAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN HILLS (COAST DOWN FIRST HILL AND GO TO ACCELERATE TO TAKE SECOND HILL, BUT VEHICLE HAS NO POWER); MAZDA DEALER IN CONJUNCTION WITH MAZDA HOTLINE WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE PROBLEM AFTER FIRST OCCURRENCE ON 10/25/01; MAZDA HAS HAD SIMILAR REPORTS OF PROBLEM IN OTHER AREAS OF U.S., BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE PROBLEM; PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE DRIVING 25-30 MPH. *AK

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE BACKING UP AT SLOW SPEED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER. CAUSE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME. PLEASE ADD FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

TRIBUTE WAS PURCHASED WHILE "AT SEA." 48 HOURS AFTER TRIBUTE WAS ROLLED OFF THE DELIVERY TRUCK THE ENGINE SHUTOFF WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING WHILE TRAVELING U-HILL AT 45MPH. IT SHUT OFF AGAIN SIX DAYS LATER WITHOUT WARNING. ACCORDING TO EDMUNDS.COM WEB SITE, MANY OTHER TRIBUTE AND FORD ESCAPE OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME STALLING PROBLEM. HENNESSEY MAZDA HAD 3 TRIBUTES RETURNED TO THEIR DEALERSHIP FOR SAME PROBLEM PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE DATE OF 10/30/01. BOTH HENNESSEY AND MAZDA CORP HAVE REFUSED TO GIVE ANY TYPE OF CERTIFICATION OR GUARANTEE THAT THE CORRECTIVE REPAIRS PERFORMED ON MY TRIBUTE ON 11/8/01 ARE THE PERMANENT FIX. *AK

I WAS DRIVING UP HILL WITH THE SPEED AROUND 35MPH AND THE CAR STALLED. I LOST ALL POWER WITHOUT WARNNING. THE CAR JUST DIED. THERE WERE TRAFFIC COMING FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS (DOWN HILLS AND UP HILLS) AND IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS! APPARENTLY THERE ARE A LOT OF CASES AS SUCH IN THE LAST YEAR. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT. IF THIS HAPPENED AT THE INTERSECTION BY MY HOUSE, I COULD BE DEAD! PLEASE PASS ON ANY INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM TO ALL TRIBUTE/ESCAPE OWNERS. THANKS. *AK

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

ON NOVEMBER 2 DRIVING 40MPH WITH NO WARNING MY ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I LOST POWER TO MY STEERING AND BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AFTER APPLYING ALL MY WEIGHT TO THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL. I MISSED AN ONCOMING CAR AND A TREE BY LUCK. I TOOK THE TRIBUTE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THEY WERE GOING TO PUT ME BACK IN THE TRIBUTE UNTIL MONDAY WHEN THEY HAD AN OPENING. I REQUESTED A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR UNTILL THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. THE MANAGER ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE TRIBUTES THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT PORBLEMS. I RETURNED HOME AND CALLED THE MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THEY ASSURED ME THAT THEY...
