Replying to: jgrace88 (Jan 03, 2009 3:10 pm) They say exactly what was wrong? In my case it was a broken pump shaft but the symptom sounded the same. The solution was to replace the transmission. The mechanic also said it was typical because the Ford transmission on the SUV was designed for a Ford sedan (I forget which one). Apparently it has some issues when they put the transmission in an SUV.

Replying to: jds427 (Jul 10, 2008 7:36 pm) I am having the same problem with my tribute and i was just wondering if you found out what was wrong with it or if it is just something that it does. I am a little concerned because i dont have the money to fix a transmission right now. Thank you Replies to this message: jds427 (Jan 13, 2009 4:06 pm)

#30 of 58 2009 transmission recall? by msdee42 Feb 10, 2009 (4:39 pm)
I just took my 2009 Tribute (3 wks old, 525 miles) into the dealer with the check engine light showing. After about 15 minutes I was told I needed to have the transmission replace. They are sending a new transmission from the factory and will replace rather than repair the current one. He said there was a recall or bulletin on them. Has anyone heard of this. Can't find anything on the internet for the 2009. Replies to this message: bdyment (Feb 11, 2009 9:54 am) msdee42 (Feb 11, 2009 10:04 am) pg08 (Jun 09, 2009 11:21 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: msdee42 (Feb 10, 2009 4:39 pm) What model Tribute do you have? V6 or 4 cylinder? Replies to this message: msdee42 (Feb 11, 2009 10:04 am) pg08 (Jun 09, 2009 11:21 am) jules20 (Aug 07, 2009 12:29 pm)
#32 of 58 2005 Tribute S - 6 cyl by mfort Feb 11, 2009 (10:00 am)
We just picked up a 2005 Tribute S - 6 cyl with 56,000 miles and haven't noticed anything about the trans, just a lot of tire noise we are trying to resolve. Anyone have any idea how wide-spread the transmission problem is? There do seem to be a lot of good reviews on this car but not necessarily on ones with higher miles on them. Just wondering if we should try to sell it before anything goes really wrong. I know that there are lemons in any model line, just wondering if anyone's got any insight into what the likelihood of this happening may be...thanks.

Replying to: bdyment (Feb 11, 2009 9:54 am) I have a 4 cly. Just called the dealer and was told there is a bulletin on them. When the chech engine light comes on and they get a certain code, they are to replace the transmission rather than repair it to avoid further problems.

Replying to: mfort (Feb 11, 2009 10:00 am) if you have continetal contitrac tires that is your road noise problem. I had them and the car would shake when i would go over 40. Look at the reviews for the tires at tirerack.com Replies to this message: mfort (Feb 11, 2009 6:09 pm)

Replying to: jds427 (Feb 11, 2009 2:31 pm) Thanks...we do have Continental and are aware that they need to be replaced with a better tire. We are also looking into the camber and toe adjustments before we put new ones on, since apparently the Mazda specs tend to cause more wear on the inside edge. Supposedly they are set up that way for handling purposes.
#36 of 58 2001 Tribute V6 Transmission Problems by mphopk Feb 16, 2009 (6:49 am)
I took my car (156K miles) in for an oil change and transmission fluid change and tran filter change after a 800 mile round trip after traveling through the west virgnia/virgnia mountains...due for both services. I told the service dealer not to flush the transmission. Long story short, I got a call asking if I had been having problems with my transmission...I told them no. Well when I picked it up, as they said the car was having a hard time going forward when acclerating but once up to 30mph it was fine, and that it was hard to put into reverse. I thought all of this to be strange being that the mechanic backed my car out of the parking space and drove around the back to bring into the bay. Now my car is at a transmission expert (Aamco) because the car will not move when put into reverse and as they said the car is having a hard time in 1st and 2nd gear but drives fine after I get up to 30 mph. Can someone tell me what when wrong here. I've never had any other problems outside of recalls. Thanks, Single female in Ohio looking for honest answers.
