Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In the past 30 days i have had 5 incidents where upon exiting from the highway the rpms on my 2001 mazda tribute failed to come down to idle speed when i was trying to stop. this caused the vehicle to pull and i had to apply the breaks hard. i tried putting the vehicle into neutral and when i did the vehicle's rpms increased to over 4000. i was able to pull over and shut the vehicle off. it takes about 20 minutes of the vehicle being off before i am able to restart and resume normal operation. i have taken the vehicle into the dealership but they were unable to find anything wrong when they ran their diagnostics an they were unable to recreate the problem. i contacted mazda after seeing a description of a similar problem in nhtsa campaign id: 00v210002, but was told that there was no recall and they refused to acknowledge that there were any investigations or recalls for the 2001 tributes. *jb
