• Recall 2004438 [Canada]: Other
  On certain vehicles equipped with 3.0l v6 engines, the accelerator cable's inner liner may, over time, migrate out of the conduit at the dash panel fitting during vehicle operation. The liner may migrate to the point that it contacts the accelerator pedal arm. Under these conditions the liner may prevent the pedal from fully returning, which may not allow the throttle body to fully return to the "idle" position. Typically the condition results in a progressive increase in the "idle" speed if liner migration continues over time, but may cause a more sudden increase if a greater portion of the cable moves at one time. An unexpected increase in "idle" speed may result in longer than expected stopping distances, which could potentially lead to a crash. Correction: dealers will replace the accelerator cable.

• Engine compartment fire investigation # EA10002

  Ford and mazda recalled model year (my) 2001 through 2004 ford escape (07v-156) and mazda tribute (07v-157) vehicles due to non-crash fires or non-fire thermal events originating in the engine compartment at or near the abs control module.Approximately 545,700 vehicles were subject to the initial safety recalls and approximately 424,700 vehicles were serviced under those campaigns. The campaigns addressed potentially damaged, missing or misplaced seals in the abs control module wiring harness electrical connector that could allow brake fluid to enter the connector, possibly resulting in corrosion, short-circuit, melting, smoke and/or fire.Since the recall, the agency is aware of 260 subject vehicles that have reportedly experienced non-crash fires or non-fire thermal events originating at or near the abs control module in vehicles some time after being serviced under the campaign. The post-recall repair incident rates for my 2001 and 2002 subject vehicles are 90.9 and 126.7 (normalized per 100,000 vehicles serviced under the recall campaigns), respectively.These rates are much higher than the post-recall repair incident rate for my 2003 and 2004 subject vehicles, which are 5.0 and 3.7 per 100k, respectively.Similarly, the post-recall repair key-off fire incident rates in the my 2001 and 2002 subject vehicles is 54.3 per 100k, compared to 0.5 per 100k for the my 2003 and 2004 subject vehicles.The agency is aware of 12 key-off fire incidents, all involving my 2001 and 2002 subject vehicles, where the vehicle was parked inside a structure when the fire started.In five of those incidents, the fire spread from the vehicle to the structure itself.Ford has identified the brake master cylinder reservoir cap in certain my 2001 and 2002 subject vehicles as a potential source for brake fluid leaks that could affect abs module connector integrity.The reservoir caps used on the my 2003 and 2004 subject vehicles are reportedly an improved design from those used on the earlier models.By letter dated january 4, 2012, ford notified the agency that it would conduct another safety recall (identified by nthsa recall no. 12v-005 and ford recall no. 11s24) of certain my 2001 and 2002 ford escape vehicles to perform a more thorough remedy to address the risk of fire originating at the abs control module.In addition to double-checking the abs control module wiring harness electrical connector weather seal (which should have been addressed under the previous recall campaign), ford will replace brake master cylinder reservoir caps to address the leaking cap problem and reduce the risk of brake fluid entering the subject electrical connector.Ford will also modify the electrical system such that the abs control module is de-energized when the ignition key is switched off to further reduce the risk of an unattended vehicle fire in units that may have sustained some small loss of connector integrity that may not be evident upon visual examination.Similarly, mazda notified the agency by letter dated january 19, 2012, that it would also conduct a safety recall (identified by nthsa recall no. 12v-016 and mazda recall no. 6712a) of certain my 2001 and 2002 mazda tribute vehicles.Ford estimates repair parts will be available beginning the second quarter of 2012. Until recall repairs are made both ford and mazda are advising owners of affected vehicles to reduce the safety concern by parking their vehicles outdoors away from structures to prevent a potential fire from spreading.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.

During a free, aaa inspection, the auto shop told me that the vehicle is dangeous due to structural damage or body damage. I don't know how long this been a problem

During a free, aaa inspection, the auto shop told me that the vehicle is dangeous due to structural damage or body damage. I don't know how long this been a problem

Car stalled when slowing to stop in left turning lane doing around 45mph, approaching the light in a busy intersection and vehicles approaching mine from behind. It would no longer start in park or move in drive, to get our of the way and off the street i had to wait and the move it in reverse. Got towed home and it still sits.

I was driving around 50mph and comng up to a stop light, as i began to slow down in the left turning lane for the red light going left, my tribute suddenly stalled.The light then of course turned green and this was not good, cause all the cars coming up from behind me were now intending to no slow down and begin to speed up, to carry on through the very busy intersection. Which almost created a pile up, beginning at my rear bumper, or another sudden collision near by. Luckily all the cars had either swerved around mine, or managed to stop behind me. I then put mine in park and tried to start it, the engine started but i was unable to shift out of park. So i shut it off, put it in neutral and tried starting it, it started and shifted out of park but would not move while in drive. So i tried in one of the lower gears and it very slowly, about 5 mph began to move, getting me off the major st and on to a side street. I then checked reverse, which worked just fine and allowed me to pull into a nearby store to wait for a tow truck. I put it in park and shut it off, too wait for it to be towed home. The next day i tried to use it, but still nothing in drive, no check engine light and its been parked ever since, about 5 months now.

I was coming up to a stop light and as i slowed down my 03 mazda tribute stalled, leaving me stopped in the middle of 5 lanes. As the light was turning green & the cars nearing my rear, had to swerve around to avoid a collision. I had placed my shifter into park and was able to restart my vehicle, but it still would not move after shifting into d(drive). So i shifted into one of the lower gears, to slowly get off the street and into the nearest parking lot. I parked and shut my vehicle off, made sure all was intact then restarting my vehicle. I shifted into r(reverse) and backed up normally, i then shifted into d(drive) but my car only rolled as though it was in n(neutral). So i shifted into r(reverse), backed directly into my parking space and called my roadside assist. To be towed home.

While i was driving the car just shut off. I was told it was the battery and alternator. So i had them replaced. The car ran for aboutv10 minutrs and just shut off. While at the machanics he said that the wire harnesa is melting amd that i got lucky not to have a fire. The abs light goae off and on to. I called about a recall i saw in 2007 about the wire harness and they are telling me it is fixes. I have proof it is melted and. Would like my car fixed under the recall.

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 mazda tribute. The contact stated that the vehicle was pulling excessively to the right and made a grinding noise. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the front passenger side subframe crossmember and engine cradle were corroded through. Also, the front lower control arms mount was detached and needed to be replaced. The contact also stated that the front driver's side was corroded. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not notified. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 12237710780. The contact was referred to nhtsa. The contact wanted to know why the manufacturer and nhtsa did not include his state in nhtsa campaign number: 14v174000 (structure). The approximate failure mileage was 146,000. *tr*jb

Driving in green bay wi 2/17/2019 and went through a roundabout, felt something giving out in steering? Pulled into a parking lot near by and had no control over car? Found out there is a recall on the mazda tribute subframe which gets corroded with salt and rusts out? Mazda fixed this recall on this car 12/18/2015 and performed the subframe recall on this car. Now the parts gave out again and broke so the parts do not last like they think they do? People will probably die in this car, thinking these parts are made to last and they dont.? This vehicle is a danger to all who drive it this way, not knowing the parts will not last? Mazda claims they fixed it, it lasted 40,000 miles, wont fix it again, but how long does a recall part last? Especially since the previous owner took care of this car, went through all the necessary repairs and then we lost steering and had no idea that this was a severe danger? We are lucky to be alive. If this happens on a freeway this car can roll and people will be killed, not knowing about the parts failure? Please help, we have no car for work and are scared to even fix it? It only has 160,000 miles on it? I honestly need the right people to examine this? I dont have a picture yet, but would gladly provide them when you contact me with a case number and what we can do? Yikes thanks for the help?
