2001 Mazda Tribute Complaint Log

IN THE PAST 30 DAYS I HAVE HAD 5 INCIDENTS WHERE UPON EXITING FROM THE HIGHWAY THE RPMS ON MY 2001 MAZDA TRIBUTE FAILED TO COME DOWN TO IDLE SPEED WHEN I WAS TRYING TO STOP. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO PULL AND I HAD TO APPLY THE BREAKS HARD. I TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND WHEN I DID THE VEHICLE'S RPMS INCREASED TO OVER 4000. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. IT TAKES ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF THE VEHICLE BEING OFF BEFORE I AM ABLE TO RESTART AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN THEY RAN THEIR DIAGNOSTICS AN THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED MAZDA AFTER SEEING A DESCRIPTION OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 00V210002, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE WERE ANY INVESTIGATIONS OR RECALLS FOR THE 2001 TRIBUTES. *JB

2001 MAZDA TRIBUTE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT STARTS AGAIN OK BUT I HAVE TO KEEP RPM'S UP TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING, OTHERWISE IT STALLS. ONE FAILURE SO FAR BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE 2001 TRIBUTE

MAZDA TIRBUTE ESV6 HAS LOST ALL POWER UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS; NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES AND ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER OUT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO GET OUT TO SAFETY. THE MECHANIC FROM JIM ELLIS MAZDA AT MARIETTA, GA TOLD THAT THIS CASE ALREADY HAPPENED TWICE (ONE FROM A DIFFERENT CAR). IN ADDITION, IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE VALVE GETS "CARBED UP." THIS OCCURS WHEN A DRIVER IS COASTING BETWEEN ACCELERATING AND BRAKING. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE ALREADY GOING HAYWIRE ON THIS VEHICLE WITH NO WIPERS, AIRBAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON OR BLINKING, TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND GRINDING. *LA

VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. TOOK IT TO DEALER TWICE AND THE THIRD TIME A THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED, SINCE IT HAS STALLED ONCE. *LA

ON AUGUST 29TH, 2003 I WAS DRIVING IN MY 2001 MAZDA TRIBUTE. AS I SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, THE CAR SUDDENLY HAD A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. I HAD NO STEERING AND NO BRAKES AND I WAS QUICKLY HEADED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO REACT IN TIME AND PULL UP THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. ONCE I REGAINED MY COMPOSURE, I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. THE ONLY TIME I HAVE DRIVEN IT SINCE IS TO TAKE INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE VERY SYMPATHETIC TO MY SITUATION AND LATER ADVISED ME THAT A TECHNICAL BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX IT. THEY EXPLAINED THERE WAS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SITUATION. ON SEPTEMBER 5TH, 2003 I CALLED MAZDA CUSTOMER CARE AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MAZDA IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND THEY DO NOT FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ALSO INDICATED IT ONLY HAPPENS IN LESS THAN 1% OF ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO CAUSE "PANIC" AMONGST THEIR CAR OWNERS. I FEEL I WAS LUCKY TO ESCAPE WITHOUT INJURY OR WITHOUT GETTING INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I FEEL OTHER MAZDA OWNERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. LEWIS PASKIN. *AK

ALL POWER CUTS OFF WHEN COASTING DOWN A HILL. LOSS OF BRAKES AND STEERING RESULTS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.*AK

PROBLEMS WITH FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. *MR THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS NO WARNING FROM THE BRAKE SENSORS. *SCC *JB

DUE TO A COMPUTER FAILURE, THE VEHICLE SHUTS ITSELF OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT QUIRK MAZDA IN QUINCY, MA THAT THEY HAVE SEEN "AT LEAST A HALF DOZEN" OF THIS PROBLEM, MAZDA KNOWS ABOUT IT, HOWEVER THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. I WAS DRIVING ALONG I-93 IN BOSTON AT RUSH HOUR AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN THE CAR DIED. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS IT STARTED BACK UP BUT DID NOT REGISTER A 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. THE COMPUTER DID NOT DETECT THAT THERE WAS EVER A PROBLEM. QUIRK MAZDA'S SOLUTION WAS TO "REPROGRAM PCM" AND INSTALL UPDATED SOFTWARE. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ONLY GOING 45 MPH, OR I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. PLEASE DEMAND THAT MAZDA ISSUES A RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY HAZARD.*AK

AT SPEEDS AROUND 40 TO 50 MPH IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING WEATHER I AM ACCELERATING OR COASTING. I ALSO SEE THE TACH NEEDLE JUMP AROUND WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE SLIPPING FEELS LIKE A VIBRATION IN THE VEHICLE AND THERE IS A LOST POWER. PAST THIS SPEED RANGE OR BEFORE IT THE VEHICLE OPERATES NORMALLY. DEALER COULD NOT FIX OR REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM.

MY 2001 TRIBUTE 4X4 HAS STALLED TWICE WHILE IN MOTION GOING DOWNHILL. THIS HAS RESULTED IN VERY DIFFICULT BRAKING AND STEERING MAKING FOR A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *NLM

FIRST TRANSMISSION SHIFTED POORLY AND WHEN IN OVERDRIVE WOULD SHUTTER AT LOW HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SECOND TRANSMISSION GAVE NO SIGN OF PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING ON LONG HIGHWAY TRIP THE OVERDRIVE OFF LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH AT WHICH TIME I CALLED MY DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THIS WAS AN INDICATION OF IMPENDING FAILURE AND SHOULD BRING THE TRIBUTE BACK IN FOR SERVICE. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. NOTE: I DRIVE MOSTLY HIGHWAY AND DO NOT TOW ANYTHING. THE TRANSMISSIONS ALL SEEM TO SHIFT IN AND OUT OF OVERDRIVE ALOT.

I HAVE A 2001 MAZDA TRIBUTE. I COULDN'T TURN MY KEY TO START THE CAR. AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THSI CAR. THEY SAID THERE WOULD BE NO RECALL BECAUSE IT WASN'T A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ALSO SAID THE FORD MODEL (THE ESCAPE) ALSO WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT YET I HAD TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED. IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT BY FORD/MAZDA. *AK

THE STEERING WHEEL WANDERED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CHANGE LANES AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. *AK PH. THE EMISSION LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED TWICE. THE STEERING PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED 6 TIMES. *JB

MAZDA TRIBUTE 2001 SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND WHEN IT DOES, STEERING AND BRAKING BECOME DIFFICULT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THE CAUSE. *JB

THE DEALER REPLACED THE SWAY BAR AND LINKAGE. *JB

THE CLUTCH PLATE DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. *JB

THE HEADLIGHT LENS COVER CONTAINED HIGH CONDENSATION, THE DEALER REPLACED THE COVER. *JB

AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR IT'S FIRST TIRE CHANGE THE REAR END COULD NOT BE ALIGNED DUE TO THE REAR CAM BOLTS BEING FROZEN. REPAIRS REQUIRE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE TRAILING ARMS ON BOTH SIDES. COSTS FOR REPAIR EXCEED $700.00 *JB

1.THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WITH MY TRIBUTE WAS ALL THE POWER STEERING FLUID HAD LEAKED OUT, SO THEY REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION. 2.THE SECOND, WHEN GOING FOR MY FIRST BRAKE JOB I'M INFORMED THAT THE FRONT ROTORS ARE TOO THIN AND UNDER SPECS. AND NEED TO BE REPLACED (A $700 JOB) SO, I WENT TO MAZDA AND THEY SAID THE BRAKE PADS ARE TOO HARD FOR THE ROTORS ARE ARE UNUSUALLY WEARING SO, THEY REPLACED MY ROTORS. 3.THE THIRD, A WEEK LATER I'M STRAINED, BECAUSE THE STARTER STUCK AND BURNED ITSELF OUT, THEY TOWED THE CAR AND REPLACED THE STARTER. 4.THE FOURTH, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD LEAKAGE SO, I HAD TO HAVE THEM FIX THAT. 5.THE FIFTH, NOW I AM CURRENTLY DEALING WITH A SPUTTERING OR CLUNCKING NOISE THAT OCCURS UPON SLOW ACCELERATION OF 40 MPH WITH PEDAL VIBRATION AND ALSO OCCURS SOMETIMES AT 60 MPH NOW. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT AND FIX THIS PROBLEM YET. BUT, THOUGHT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY FOUND A BUSHING NEAR THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT WAS COMPLETELY CRACKED SO, THEY REPLACED THAT. UNTIL NEXT TIME.....

THE CONSUMER PUT THE GEAR SHIFT IN THE DRIVE GEAR. WHEN THE DRIVER TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED IN FULL THROTTLE. *NLM *TS

ON APRIL 2, 2003 DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, MY 2001 MAZDA TRIBUTE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. I DID NOT HAVE ANY STEERING OR BRAKE CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE APPROXIMATELY. 2 MONTHS AGO. BOTH TIMES I WAS GOING DOWNHILL. I HAVE FOUND OTHERS WHO HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME THING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT MAZDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND CORRECT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ALSO THE OWNERS OF THESE TRIBUTE'S NEED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE COST OF SO CALLED REPAIRS. MINE IS GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP APRIL 17, 2003 TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. *JB

2001 MAZDA TRIBUTE, DIED WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MILES PER HOUR. NO BREAKS, NO STEERING, NO CONTROL. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME AND CLEARLY THE MOST DANGEROUS AS IT WAS LIFE THREATENING. MAZDA IS UNRESPONSIVE AND NOT HONORING MY BUY BACK REQUEST. THEY SAID THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED, BUT THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT PREVIOUSLY AND IT WASN'T SO I HAVE NO FAITH I AM NOT WILLING TO RISK MY LIFE AGAIN. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL? I HAVE SEEN DOZEN OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. *JB

2001 MAXDA TRIBUTE LX STALLS IN MOTION GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. DEALER HAS PERFORMED SUGGESTED REPAIRS BY MAZDA BUT PROBLEM PERSIST. MAZDA DEALER IS OUT OF IDEAS. SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES AROUND YOU. VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY NO POWER STEERING NO BRAKES NO CONTROL. SHOULD BE RECALLED. *JB

THE FRONT SUSPENSION WORE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BE HARD TO CONTROL. DEALER NOTIFIED. *NLM

THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH OCCURRED WHEN BRAKING AND ACCELERATING ON ROADS THAT CONTAINED CURVES.*JB

THE VEHICLE STALLED, WHICH CAUSED CONSUMER TO PULL OVER ABRUPTLY.*JB

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. ALSO AT ANOTHER OCCATION, VEHICLE WOULD ONLY START IN NEUTURAL GEAR.

ENGINE STALLED. PH

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, NO STEERING. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS INCIDENT HAS TAKEN PLACE. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM? IS FORD/MAZDA GOING TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES (ESCAPE/TRIBUTE) AND FIX THEM?

CONSUMER WAS IN HEAD ON COLLISION AND UPON CONTACT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BROKE. TS

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED TWICE SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS CAR. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES AND THE LAST TIME WAS AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES. BOTH TIMES IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER NOW THIS VECHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I FEAR THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A REOCCURING PROBLEM. NOT TO MENTION THAT IN BETWEEN THE TIMES THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED THE VECHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR BRAKE SQUELS WHEN STOPPING. EVEN AFTER THE ROTOR AND BRAKES WERE REPLACED, THIS NOISE IT STILL PRESENT. I PLAN ON SELLING THIS CAR AT THIS POINT AND CUTTING MY LOSSES, HOWEVER NOW TODAY A RECALL HAS COME OUT FOR A STALLING PROBLEM. ONCE THIS IS FIXED THIS CAR WILL BE SOLD TO ANYONE WILLING TO BUY THIS BAG OF BOLTS. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS. KEY IGNITION PROBLEM - BACK TWICE TO DEALER TO FIX THIS. STALLED DURING A TURN - WHOLE CAR DIED, HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK TO STOP AND THEN PUT INTO NEUTRAL TO RESTART. PCM DIED TOTALLY AND HAD TO BE REPLACED - HAD TO BE TOWED FROM MY DRIVEWAY (THANK GOD OR I MIGHT BE DEAD) TO NEAREST DEALER - I AM AWAITING RESPONSE ON FULL CORRECTION TO PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA WOULD BE DOING A DISSERVICE TO AMERICAN CONSUMERS FOR NOT PRESSING THE MANUFACTURER TO RECALL, DUE TO THE LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS REGARDING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE 2001 TRIBUTE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO HAVE A 10 CAR PILE UP ON A FREEWAY OR HWY BEFORE THEY BELIEVE THE URGENCY OF THIS PROBLEM?

WHEN CONSUMER DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL THERE WAS NO STEERING POWER, AND VEHICLE STALLED. DEALERSHIP REPLACED AIR FLOW SENSOR. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS.*JB...*AK

OWNED MY TRIBUTE FOR A YEAR BEFORE THE PROBLEMS BEGAN. ON 3/15/02 I TOOK IT IN BECAUSE THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM, BUT I HAD THEM DO A 30K MILE SERVICE AND CHECK EVERYTHING FROM FRONT TO BACK. HAD A RENTAL FOR TWO DAYS. ON 6/10/02 I TOOK IT IN BECAUSE IT SUDDENLY STARTED STALLING DEAD AT STOPS AND YIELDS. I ALMOST WRECKED DUE TO THIS. CAUSE: INTERNAL FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CONTROL UNIT, IDLE AIR VALVE, COOLANT FAN RELAY. I HAD A RENTAL FOR THREE DAYS. ON 8/5/02 IT HAD TO BE TOWED BECAUSE THE IGNITION SWITCH COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T TURN. DEALERSHIP PUT IN A NEW IGNITION SWITCH AND CYLINDER. MY KEYS HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED. I HAD A RENTAL FOR TWO DAYS. ON 11/13/02 I TOOK IT IN BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND THE ENGINE DID NOT IDLE SMOOTHLY. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I USED THEIR RENTAL FOR THREE DAYS. ON 12/24/02 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK, THE ENGINE IDLED ROUGH AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS VISIBLY SHAKING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT ONE OF THE SIX COILS WAS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR ONE WRONG SPARK COULD RUIN THE WHOLE ENGINE. LOOKS LIKE I HAVE THE RENTAL FOR AT LEAST A WEEK. IT JUST WENT OVER 50K MILES, SO MY BASIC WARRANTY IS UP, HOWEVER THE EMISIONS CONROL SYSTEM (ENGINE) IS WARRANTED UNTIL 80K MILES. IT SEEMS A SHAME THAT MAZDA WOULD PUT OUT SUCH POOR QUALITY AND PROBLEMATIC VEHICLES TO THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. MAYBE THEY SHOULD ADD THAT TO THEIR "ZOOM, ZOOM" COMMERCIALS.

VEHICLE STALLS AND LOSES POWER, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED, SINCE FIRST PURCHASING VEHICLE.*AK

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HARD AND SOMETIMES JERKING WHEN ON GOING UP HILL. I HAVE HAD MANY AUTO SERVICES CHECK INTO IT BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND A REASON FOR IT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME. AND MAZDA USA REFUSES TO LOOK UP OR FIX RECALLS ON MY MAZDA BECAUSE IT WAS MADE IN CANADA BUT I BOUGHT IT IN KENTUCKY NEW. I BOUGHT IT IN THE USA AND IT IS A MAZDA AND I FEEL MAZDA SHOULD FIX IT. MY BATTLE WITH MAZDA TO FIX MY TRIBUTE STARTED IN 2002. I KNOW I HAVE A RECALL ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. CANADA TOLD ME THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THIS COULD BE RELATED TO WHY MY PROBLEMS WITH MY TRIBUTE COME AND GO. I DO NOT TRUST IT ANYMORE. *TR

I BOUGHT A MAZDA TRIBUTE NEW AND IT WASN'T A YEAR OLD WHEN THE INSIDE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH BROKE. I HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF MY PROBLEMS. *TR

VEHICLE'S RIMS CRACKED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE AND FLATTEN TIRE. DEALER NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. TS

I HAVE JUST FOUND THIS WEBSITE AND REALIZED THAT AN EXISTING PROBLEM THAT I HAD BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT IN MY CAR. THE DEALER CLAIMED THE PROBLEM DIDN'T EXIST ,EVEN AFTER THE FIRST RECALL. I BROUGHT IN TO FIX. I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE POWER TRAIN RECALL THE MANUFACTURER NEVER INFORMED ME OF THIS PROBLEM AT ALL NOR THE DEALER. I'VE BEEN AN OWNER FOR 6 YEARS. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, I AM APAULED AT THE WAY MAZDA FORD DEALERS HANDLE THERE CUSTOMERS AFTER REPEATEDLY TELLING THEM OF THIS PROBLEM. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO AT THIS POINT BUT TO ENGAGE A PETITON TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY NOT TO BUY THIS PRODUCT FORD MAZDA. I THINK THIS IS WRONG ON YOUR PART WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM NOW THAT IT'S GETTING WORST . YOU'VE PUT MY LIFE AND MY FAMILIES LIFE AT RISK KNOWING THAT IF MY CAR STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING WHICH IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED ON A FEW OCCASIONS. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS COMING HOME FROM PEEKSKILL NY AND THE CAR STALED ON ME 6TIMES. PLEASE LET THE DEALER KNOW THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM. *NM
