Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vehicle description: 2003 mazda tribute lx awd - purchased brand new from roto mazda of arlington heights, il. all services like regular oil changes were done within the recommended time. complaint: the vehicle stalls without any warning. we took the vehicle to the dealer few times while it was in warranty (less than 36000 miles). the dealer assured that the safety recall for mazda tribute is already in place. they couldn't find anything wrong with the suv. the vehicle stalled again yesterday while i was pulling out of the driveway (on reverse) it came to a stop and died.(this is the second time in last six months) i had to restart the car. it starts immediately. it stalled today. i was waiting at a traffic signal and when it turned green, i started to accelerate and it died. (this happened about 4 times in last six months) i am afraid that one of these days i am going to get rear ended. we took it to the dealer two times with the same complaint and they couldn't find any thing wrong with the vehicle. do i have a lemon? did you receive similar complaints ? my car has 36300 miles now and otherwise excellent condition. thank you.*jb
