What owners wrote

Mazda tribute 2001 - model es v6 - FWD 1. The vehicle is 7 years old. The vehicle is extremely well taken care of. Mileage and gas fills, along with all maintenance records are meticulously kept. Dealer maintenance only. 2. Inside driver door handle is poorly crafted plastic coasted with silver overlay. Handle performs lock, release, and latch functions. The handle came completely apart under tension causing minor injury to wrist.

Reported at 121,000 miles, July 2008 Injury

Inside driver's door handle broke unexpectedly and under normal use. I am the original owner of this 2001 tribute. Had to repair at my expense...obviously a common problem and unacceptable.
