Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My transmission has failed twice. both times thank god under warranty. after having the third transmission put in last week - it lit up yesterday with an coolant problem (they had just completed not only the transmission but a maintence two days before). it is now back in the hands of the dealer. from my reading this is an on going problem with the tribute. i am concerned, not only because i want a safe and good car but if it has already failed twice - what next? and will it still be under warranty. why are these transmissions failing? what is mazda going to do about it. i drive a windy mountain road every day - am i risking my life and that of my children's in this thing?
