Tribute ES V6
- Automatic transmission
- 60,000 miles
Transmission started slipping in 1st gear. Took it to the dealer and they said I needed to replace the transmission. Luckily it was under the warranty we bought when we bought the vehicle. They tried to put a used transmission in, but my dealer fought for a rebuilt one. 5 months later and the problem of slipping in 1st gear resurfaced. Now they replaced my transfer case (see separate entry) MAZDA used to be a reliable vehicle. Since joining with FORD, they suck ass. I will NEVER buy another ford/mazda product again. I am counting the days until I can trade this sucker. I am sooooo glad I purchased the extended warranty. Do yourself a favor and buy it anytime you get a vehicle. It has saved me $1000s of loot.

The transmission literally blew up. The mechanic showed us the torque converter, and all of its components broke loose and ran it through the transmission. I was not very happy being it had so few of miles on it. Not only were we out a lot of money, we were out of a car for almost 2 weeks. THANKS FORD/ MAZDA

Tribute ES 3.0L V6
Driving down the road and while slowing down could hear the car downshifting. I knew I never had heard this before. I then went on and stopped at a red light again but this time when I started out the transmission did not want to go into 2nd so I could go about 20 miles an hour. I made it to a transmission shop and they told me that I would need a new transmission. I will never buy anything that has been built by Ford ever again!
