2006 Mazda Tribute review from North America

"Looks good, but isn't"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

All the doors rattled when going over a bump, turning a corner or taking off from a stop. Took it in the first time, they kept it for a couple of hours. The next week the rattling came back. Took it in the second time, they kept for a day and a half. The only door still rattling is the rear passenger door. They told me it is probably the flexing of the car making the noise, because it's a truck. Give me a break!!

While the truck was in for the doors, I asked them to check the hand brake. It would go tight then loosen up with a loud noise. They told me they adjusted the brake, but is still doing the same thing.

The car just turned one year old and the front discs are already out of round. I brake and the steering wheel starts shaking.

I have to take it back in, the drivers seat makes noise every-time I come to a stop. It sounds like a loose spring in the seat.

General comments?

I can't understand how a new car can have these problems so soon. It reminds me of my Ford Windstar.

Will never buy another Ford built car again.
