| 2008 | POWER TRAIN | MY 2008 MAZDA TRIBUTE AWD 4I GAS PEDAL STICKS IN COLD WEATHER AND SOMETIMES IN WARM WEATHER (EXACT PROBLEM COMPARED TO 2005 MODEL YEAR COMPLAINTS). IT HAPPENS USUALLY WHEN I GET INTO THE CAR ON A COLD MORNING AND HAVE NOT PROPERLY WARMED THE CAR UP. A FEW TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER I HAVE FULLY TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE GAS (SAY TO BRAKE) AND THEN RETURN MY FOOT TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE PEDAL WILL REFUSE TO PUSH DOWN EVEN WITH MY FULL BODY WEIGHT (240LB MAN) ON THE PEDAL. I FIND I HAVE TO JIGGLE MY FOOT AND STEP ON THE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET IT TO GO DOWN. A FEW TIMES I HAD TO PULL OVER AND PLAY WITH IT. EVERY TIME I GET IT TO THE DEALER, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT ALL THE COMPLAINTS FROM THE 2005 MAZDA TRIBUTE ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING AND I AM WORRIED. *TR |
