Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Takata recall we were on interstate when we heard a thud and our vehicle lost power almost causing us to be rear ended. We steered off freeway and when it came to a stop it would not go into any gear except neutral. We had it towed to house. After lots of research it seems it could be the transmission module or PCM.”
NHTSA complaint #11193688, filed 2019-04, 137,501 miles“I was driving and all of a sudden my car began to slow down and not go foward and hesitated to go backwards. I had to have it towed to shop. The shop machanic informed me that the transmission was built without a pressure release valve,and that is what cause it to malfunction. And I would like to know why you don't have transmission in dropdown box of affected parts. Ma 10/5 updated 11/16/2017”
NHTSA complaint #10733928, filed 2015-07, 97,473 miles“When driving or stopping at red light the vehicle will shut off, before it shuts off the oil light flickers and there's a burning smell from under the hood. I took it to multiple auto shops and have got the catalytic converters replace, transmission, mass air flow and a host of other things at a costly price and the problem is not fits. There is something terrible wrong with the 2004 Mazda Tribute, I have been in almost 2 accident because the vehicle shuts off while driving. Please fix this!!”
