2000 Mazda Tribute LE-V6 review from North America
"Glad it wasn't worse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ignition coil blew at 55K miles. 5k out of warranty and the dealership wanted none of it. When we traded the car in a few months ago, it had about 21 different recalls on it. Dangerous ones too. We settled for another Tribute because I really do like the car despite the fact that it is a Ford and that I had all the problems I did with the first one. I was so glad to get rid of the 2001 before the other 5 ignition coils decided to blow.
General comments?
This will probably be my last Tribute though, after this one, I'm getting a Toyota.
