SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
THE ROTORS ON MY 2005 MAZDA TRIBUTE AFTER TWO YEARS AND 31,000 MILES WERE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE 2005 TRIBUTE ROTORS WERE MADE OF ASBESTOS AND THAT IS WHY THE ROTORS WORE SO QUICKLY BECAUSE THEY WERE MADE OF A VERY SOFT MATERIAL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN IMPROVED WITH A MORE DURABLE MATERIAL. MAZDA TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT PUT THE NEW IMPROVED ROTORS ON MY 2005 BECAUSE I HAD TO STAY WITH 2005 PARTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS, WHY WASN'T THE 2005 TRIBUTES RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT IN THE ROTORS? *TR

AIR BAGS
THE AUTOMATIC PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. MY WIFE WEIGHS ABOUT 120 POUNDS AND THE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT RANDOM ON THE HIGHWAY ARE JUST SITTING STILL. THE DEALER HAS ZERO SOLUTIONS AND WE ARE FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL WHICH STATES THE WEIGHT THRESHOLD TO BE 80 LBS. IF WE'RE IN AN ACCIDENT AND HER AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY THERE WILL BE A PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS AN 2011 MAZDA TRIBUTE. *TR
