This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
This is the third time vehicle has stalled while driving at approx. 35-40 mph since purchase last fall; previously reported problem last fall (ODI id: 754924); problem was thought to be fixed with resetting of idle and throttle settings late last year; while it has been a while since the problem last occurred, apparently the problem has not been fixed.
While driving on a curvy road at around 40 mph my Tribute suddenly stalled and lost all power steering and power brakes. This resulted in a hard stop in the oncoming lane, which was fortunately not occupied by an oncoming car. The car restarted immediately with no hesistation and I travelled home 5 miles with no further incident. I am now afraid to drive my car as I live on top of a mountain and must drive curvy roads to work. The dealership has been closed this weekend and I will contact them immediately Monday morning.
Engines stalling on these vehicles, looks like another tire problem that is going to take years to resolve I have submitted questions to you before but nobody wants to take responsibility for looking into this issue I have been told to file complaints or call I think with all the reports on your web site you would be looking into this issue before we are checking to see how many people are killed in these SUV

The 2002 Tribute has stalled on me twice - once after 1200 miles and the second time after 4800 miles. Both times I was going down a hill at about 35 mph. Am taking the car into the dealer. This problem needs addressed!

Believed to be related to NHTSA defect investigation action number PE01043. Engine stalls totally unexpectedly. Dealer contacted, thinks they have a resolution but will not give any assurance. Manufacturer contacted, unaware of problem in 2002 Mazda Tribute, unable to give any assurrance of problem resolution steps and procedures. Extreme safety hazard if engine stalls in traffic.
While driving engine stalled, consumer has contacted dealer, and they were aware of problem, and waiting to hear from manufacturer. Consumer feels unsafe driving vehicle.
