The contact owns a 2003 Mazda Tribute. While driving between 45-65 mph, the vehicle makes a loud vibrating sound as if the transmission was failing. The contact feels that the driveshaft will spit in half. The final assessment was that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The purchase date was unknown. The current mileage was 91,000 and failure mileage was 87,000.
