Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I drive a 2001 mazda tribute 4x4 with 67,000 miles on it, and a few weeks ago, during takeoff the vehicle seemed to hesitate. over the course of about a week, it got worse. we took the vehicle to jim ellis mazda of marietta and they informed us that the transmission was going on the vehicle, and that mazda would possibly pay for half. they contacted mazda, but mazda would only pay 1/3 because they said there were no maintenance records on my transmission. there aren't any records because the vehicle hasn't needed any. after keeping my car for over a week, they phoned me to inform us that the transmission mazda corporation sent them was bad as well. considering the low mileage and the second transmission had defects, i'm now concerned that there is a defect in all the 2001 transmission, and makes me wonder how many other 2001 mazda tributes have had to be repaired. *jb
