VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
GAS PEDAL ON 2006 MAZDA TRIBUTE STICKS. SOMETIMES YOU PRESS AND NOTHING HAPPENS AND THEN IT WILL TAKE OFF AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WITH OTHER VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO THIS. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL REPLACED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO (MARCH 2008) AND NOW HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN BUT MAZDA TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT AGAIN UNLESS I PAY FOR IT EVEN THOUGH IT'S A RECURRING PROBLEM. I THINK THIS HAS TO BE A DESIGN ISSUE GIVEN THE RECURRENCE BUT MAZDA WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT AND IN FACT DEMANDS PAYMENT EVEN TO ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.
