What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2005 mazda tribute. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to stop as, a result the contact rear ended another vehicle. The contact mentioned that her vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 12v357000 (engine and engine cooling, vehicle speed control). The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained whiplash. The other driver did not sustain injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard.
We purchased a new 2005 mazda tribute. At 90k miles, the brake booster started leaking air causing extended braking distance requiring more driver force on the brake pedal to stop. The brake booster was replaced at dealer with oem part, and now at 150k miles, it has begun leaking air again. We have experienced complete brake failure and are having to replace the brake booster again. This time we have opted to go with a high performance brake booster.
