My 2008 tribute has had 3 transmissions replaced before the 4th was a brand new transmission that was put in. last night my tribute was in park and keys out of the ignition and it rolled down my driveway out in to the middle of the road. my husband was able to get out of the way before it ran over him. he pulled it back in the driveway and set the parking brake. it rolled down the driveway again. this death trap of a vehicle is listed in one of the recalls on the shift linkage. my transmissions were replaced in killeen, texas in 2012. the 3rd rebuilt transmission was installed and pulled right back out. that's how the dealership was able to replace it with a brand new one. last night my husband pulled in forward into are driveway and put the suv in park, turned it off, and got out of the suv and went to get a ceiling fan box out of the back and he felt the suv rolling back on him. he thankfully was able to move to the side as it rolled back out of our driveway to the middle of our street. he got the keys from me and drove it back into our driveway and set the parking break. we walked out front this morning and it rolled back down to the bottom of our driveway. he put chalk blocks behind the tires and set the park back brake again. my husband is an active duty soldier. we bought the suv while we were stationed at ft. hood and now we are stationed at ft. carson in colorado springs, colorado. i'm leaving his contact information for you. i will also include my ring doorbell video from last night. thank you, [xxx] my husband [xxx] my email ([xx] husband's email [xxx]. link from ring doorbell : [xxx] vin # [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc *tr
Cable to gas pedal broken -- cannot be driven.
Sticking throlle on vehicle occurs when temperature is cold. i could not move the car at all. gas pedal is stuck. it has happened to me at a red light as well and almost caused someone to hit me from behind. however on 1/18 i could not get the throlle unstuck at all. mazda says there is no recall and refuses to repair my car free of charge, they do not acknowledge the recall at all. though there is a ton of information on line from the wall street journal. cars.com and blogs re. this issue affecting over 218,000 vehicles. see articles attached is what exactly happened to me.
On my way out to store i backed up out of my driveway as i switched gears and went into drive my gas pedal was hard to push down on. i tried again then pedal was sticking then dropped all the way down to floor. i lift my foot off the gas pedal car continued to go in drive, i immediately pushed on breaks they were then also hard to push so i placed car in neutral and put on emergency brake to stop the vehicle. *tr
