| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Madza 2005 tribute, ccasional brake failure - 3 times - brakes work fine, then go nearly to floor when fails. the engine speeds up slightly, just like hitting the clutch before brakes. the dealer is replacing the master cyclinder, but i think the problem is a race condition between the awd and the brakes - the awd might think that the brakes are really an indication of slippage, so the awd tells the abs not to activate. the dealer cannot explain how the brakes recover if the master cylinder is at fault. i also suspect that the dealer "erased" any previous information concerning repairs on this vehicle. i had bought this vehicle with 4005 miles and the brakes failed me three times already in the next 800 miles. *ak |
