What owners wrote
We are having transmission cooler problems. Our 2008 tribute has a major leak...or shall I say pour. The item is recalled. We live 1100 km away from dealership.....so we could potentially ruin the transmission if we drive that far...and we do not have 4000.00 to get it towed. So here we are with a 2008 mazda tribute that we can not drive because of a tranny leak. What to do.
My 2008 mazda tribute AWD 4I gas pedal sticks in cold weather and sometimes in warm weather (exact problem compared to 2005 model year complaints). It happens usually when I get into the car on a cold morning and have not properly warmed the car up. A few times it has happened on the highway after I have fully taken my foot off the gas (say to brake) and then return my foot to the gas pedal. The pedal will refuse to push down even with my full body weight (240lb man) on the pedal.
