#52 of 81 Re: 2005 Tribute has rear wheel squeak [odie6l] by jzoom Jun 22, 2007 (10:25 am)
Replying to: odie6l (Feb 15, 2006 6:23 am) Just bought a 2005 Tribute 4WD GT last week. Fairly new with only 39K on it. Can't wait to test it here in our Vancouver terrain. Summer or winter, I think I will enjoy it, i hope.   This squeaking sound that you mentioned, I heard it for the first time last night. Then it went away. Any new info about this??   Thanks

Replying to: KarenS (Jan 13, 2005 12:39 pm) Thanks, KarenS, for this thread. I own a 2003 Mazda Tribute LX as of yesterday. Yay! I love it. This forum is invaluable to me. Glad I found it.

My wife got this vehicle Oct 3. So far she is extremely happy with it. No problems noted, everthing working as advertised. Got the 6CD and she really likes it. The V6 is smooth and suits our driving style perfectly. About 350 miles so far.

You may want to consider an inline hose engine heater, theyre usually substantially cheaper to install and they seem to work as good as the factory heater. My Escape has worked flawlessly so far in weather as cold as -30 and seems to heat up fairly quickly.
#56 of 81 Stalls cold - 2001 Mazda Tribute by cootietum Mar 06, 2008 (4:23 pm)
First thing the morning - the car starts but idles low and seems like it's going to run out of fuel. Changed the IAC valve. No change. I don't think it would be the fuel pump or regulator. The intake was off this summer to replace #1 coil. Could there be a leak at the intake. If anyone has had the same problem, please let me know. Thanks. No other problems -YET!

#58 of 81 Flood killed my engine. by boyce Jun 05, 2008 (8:03 am)
May 13, My wife was driving the Trib and got caught in a flash flood. Visibility was poor and she got off I-49 at the wrong exit. While attempting to get back on she drove into an underpass into about 5 ft. water. She said she could not see the water before hitting it. Trib is seven months old so we are insured and Mazda road service towed it to dealer at no charge. The dealer determined the engine is bad and insurance has okayed the repair as well new carpet and padding. Thank goodness she didn't open the doors so only a little water got into the front floorboard. Dealer ordered the replacement engine and it went backorder. Does anyone know why this engine would be in short supply? I understand that it is a Ford engine, 3.0 V6 Thanks in advance for any inputs. Bud
#59 of 81 Proud Owner!!! by pleasden Jun 15, 2008 (10:16 pm)
Hey gang. Proud owner of a new HEV FWD Tribute here in California. No complaints so far, great car, great fuel economy. Nice to meet you all!!
#60 of 81 Escape Engine Back orderd. by mschmal Jun 16, 2008 (4:08 am)
IF its back ordered, its probably because the Escape/Mariner/Tribute where the only products left using that version of the 3.0L Duratec AND for 2009 they will be using a different version that the plant is probably already shifted over to producing since 2009 Escapes are expected shortly.   Glad no one was hurt and GL with your repair.   Mark.
