#1 of 4 2002 ABS problems by eljay1 Apr 08, 2008 (12:57 pm)
My ABS brakes come on frequently when I'm braking on dry pavements. I've had the rear drums machined and the front rotors replaced. That didn't fix the problem so I took it back to my mechanic and he ran it through the diagnostics but nothing came up. He's suggesting I take it to the dealer (I swore I'd never go back) and have them run it through their diagnostics... I guess it shows up more than his does. Any insite into this problem?

Replying to: eljay1 (Apr 08, 2008 12:57 pm) Hi eljay... I have the 2005 Tribute i (4 cyl front wheel drive) I have noticed on mine in recent month or two that my front driver side ABS sensor seems to engage prematurely too, on dry road, mainly when I am going about 10mph or less and apply brakes. I will probably take it to dlr soon and will post resutls for you. FYI the 2005s have a 4 yr warranty so should be covered on mine, though not sure what your 02 warr is (3, 4?) regards, Golf

Finally got to the root of the problem. Had to take it to the dealer. The ABS rings on the axle shafts are broken on the right AND left sides. I took the truck elsewhere and had them rebuilt. My regular and extended warranty are up. Extended warranty is past time only.. the truck only has 83,000 km. on it. My mechanic said I shouldn't see that kind of thing until at least 150,000 km. I asked the dealership if there was any kind of a "good will" warranty and they said no. Its quite ridiculous for the BOTH to go that early, at the same time, and it not be covered by Mazda. I'm going to write a letter to Mazda but I don't have by hopes up! Oh and the cost? $700!!!!!!!! Replies to this message: golfman3 (Jul 22, 2008 12:00 pm)
