2002 Mazda Tribute ES review from North America
"Should have held up better than that!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rack-n-pinion steering replaced under warranty at 10,000 miles.
Radio lights out at 25,000 miles.
PVC line for AC replaced at 121,000 miles.
Multiple brake problems from 20,000 miles to today.
Shift shock (always).
Engine dying in traffic, started at 9,000 miles.
H2 sensor out at 13,000 miles.
Door facing material coming lose at 10,000 miles
Now, the transmission is gone and so is the car tomorrow.
General comments?
I wanted to get 150,000 miles out of it.
Lots of wind noise.
