My 2006 tribute has 47,000 miles. The ABS light came on-and stayed on, and the 4wd light flashed on and off 3 or 4 times about every mile. Our dealer inspected and found it was a broken part in the front axle, which was under warranty. They kept the car overnight and replaced it. I asked if we could expect this to happen to the other axle and they could not give a definitive answer. Even more troubling is the fact that now the car pulls to the right. Their mechanic noted in his repair report, but they didn't bother to tell us about it because he said it was nothing he did. When something like and axle is involved, shouldn't an alignment be part of the service? And aren't they at least morally obligated to tell me that the car 'pulls' now?
2006 Mazda Tribute brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 12 of 12, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The back brakes were inspected and they were worn down to 5% versus the front brakes still having over 50% left. The car only has 39k miles. The back brakes and rotors had to be replaced - not sure if this is going to correct the problem as we were told by the mechanic that it is unusual to replace the back brakes and rotors before the front.
