APPROX. 6 MONTHS AGO THE OUTSIDE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH ON MY 2001 MAZDA TRIBUTE (80,000 MILES) BROKE AND I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. A MONTH AGO THE PASSANGER DOOR OUTSIDE LATCH BROKE AND I ALSO HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. A WEEK AGO THE INSIDE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH BROKE AND I AM FACED WITH REPLACING IT AT MY EXPENSE. IN VIRGINIA ALL DOOR LATCHES MUST WORK IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE INSPECTED, SO THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY MAZDA.
