The powering steering went out completely. There were several instances of this happening; and we parked the vehicle in february because the steering wheel vibrates, clunks and goes out. This is not a safe condition. *tr

I pulled out of my driveway and my pporr steering did not work..parked vehicle. When I called the dealership I was told about recall on software for power steering control module (PSCM) but was told Mazda would not cover this that it was done in 2014 . I bought the vehicle used in 2019 ...never knew til now that it had a recall on it. What am I to do?

Takata recall: the brakes fail when depressed to come to complete stop. The ABS control module failed when needing to stop instantly. As I was driving down the highway and made an instant stop the SUV did not stop right away as it would jerk forward and then swerve before making a stop almost causing lost of control of the vehicle. The engine light stay on because of the gas cap error but the vehicle does not require a gas cap it is a cap-less tank. Causes gas to seep through.

I purchased a new 2009 Mazda tribute. I have always taken it to the dealer for maintenance. It has apx. 15000 miles. The last oil change at about 9,100 miles I complained about squeaking brakes. They verified that they were checked and found in good condition. On june 8, 2010 I was turning into a residential area and the car would not stop or slow down. I crashed into a median. Earlier that day I experienced a similar problem while braking but I thought it was due to the rain. When the accident occurred it had just stopped drizzling and the ground was visibly dry. I pressed on the brakes. They did not squeal, but the car would not stop. Something went really wrong. *tr

The rear hutch is defected. When pressing the button the hutch will not open. The entire pump has to be replaced to open the rear hutch of the vehicle. This is a safely hazard in case of emergency and one need to get out. I had the pump replaced and less than 8 months the pump went out again.

Rear tailgate door switch occasionally does not operate when depressed. While trying to open the tailgate/rear hatch entrance the switch that is depressed will not open the tailgate causing entry to the rear to be accessed through the vehicles aft passenger's doors. This has been an ongoing problem since new and every time the vehicle has been to the dealer the problem is not repeatable creating a now out of warranty issue. Failure of the inability to access the rear of the vehicle should be considered for a recall. In the event of an accident the inability to reach someone trapped in the back of the vehicle creates a serious safety concern that must be addressed. *tr

AutoZone said that the part is called steering angle sensor and is locking up my car I am not able to press the gas as it only accelerates the engine and nothing else and the steering wheel lock I usually have my car turn on in the middle of traffic the part number they gave me is SU14859

Electronic throttle body failure. The SUV considers the throttle body to be closed. Its clean as a whistle and can be moved without any problems. Ford escapes have this problem and use the same part. Its covered under a warranty. This problem causes the car to go into limp mode and lose all power while traveling at any speed. Could be dangerous for me and my family.

Tl*the contact owns a 2009 Mazda tribute. When the contact started the engine, the "passenger air bag off" warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The front passenger side air bag seat senor disabled when an adult weighing 105 pounds occupied the seat. The warning indicator illuminated spontaneously. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they stated that the senor was functioning properly. There were no resolutions. The failure mileage was 200 and current mileage was 450.

Airbag light illuminated. Took it to the dealer scanned code b00a0, ocs malfunction. Said I had to replace entire passenger seat cushion at roughly $3500.found that this unaffordably mandatory problem occurs in many mazdas, among other vehicles. The car has never been in an accident, the bags have never been deployed. The car is less than 10 years old. Meanwhile the system may not deployed when called upon and I am unable to get a safety check or register the car

Car will lose power during driving. Engine begins to sputter, which results in a jerking motion of the vehicle. Pressing the gas does nothing. Engine revs according to RPM dial, but car will not accelerate. RPM dial will continue to show engine revving while idling (after I pull over and put car in park). This has happened twice - 8/22/19 and again 8/27/19. Diagnostic run on car on 8/22/2019 lists no error codes, for me to fix issue. Video taken, but still images wont help.

While parked at a gas station the front door passenger power window slammed opened/down during normal door closure. Window regulator assembly was removed and found defective. Internal cable windings were kinked and caused plastic within power window motor to break allowing cable/window to move freely and fall to open/down position. Safety of vehicle is jeopardized...if this happened at speed it could certainly create a startling event that could cause a driver to lose control of the vehicle because of the sudden unexpected distraction by sudden rush of wind noise and environmental elements. *tr
