Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Tribute would make slipping noise when on a hill. it would also shutter when i first took off. i called the dealership about the problem. they thought it was the transmission, but couldn't look at the car until after the first of the year. about 2 weeks later, i took off and the car surged. i pulled off the road and when i put the car back into drive, it wouldn't move. it was towed to the mazda dealership where it still sits. i was told it needed a new transmission that would cost $2900+. the district manager was notified. they took $1000.00 off the price. which leave me paying only $1900+ the other $900. i've put in this car since july 04. i had a full circle service inspection done on oct.25 ,2004. the transmission condition was good at that time, just 2 months earlier. *jb
