When was the Mazda Tribute 4 wheel drive replaced?
I bought my 2001 Tribute June15, 2001, by July 6, 2001 it was in the shop. Apparently there is a very touchy screw on the four wheel drive transmission connection and this one was screwed too tight. It got replaced. The whole four wheel drive! About 6 months later the fuel sensor light went on.
Why is my Mazda Tribute transmission going bad?
The torque converter went bad on mine at 45,000 miles. At 45 mph the car would shake. Mazda put in a new transmission. They busted an axle while doing it, so it went back to be fixed. A few weeks later transmission fluid started coming out.
Why does my Mazda Tribute shake at 45 mph?
At 45 mph the car would shake. Mazda put in a new transmission. They busted an axle while doing it, so it went back to be fixed. A few weeks later transmission fluid started coming out. I was told the torque converter seal needed to be replaced. I just picked the car up again….today.

Is the Mazda Tribute transmission a serious defect?
When I replied back to the Consumer Compliant Specialist that the dealership advised this was abnormal and a serious defect he replied back that it doesn’t matter they call the shots, and this is what he decided. He also noted that he has to do everything in his power to lower the cost of warrant repairs for Mazda.
Is the Mazda Tribute out of warranty yet?
Keep in mind, my car is almost out of warranty. After disputing with the dealership, they advised their hands are tied by Mazda Corp., meaning they won’t fix it under warranty. To say it like it is, Mazda is waiting for my warranty to run out so they won’t have to fix it.
