Mazda Tribute 2005 Reports
My 2001 626 transmission slips slightly when first put it into drive from park then bucks. After it engages it shifts fine I have a 1998 Mazda Protege LX Touring Edition (4dr) and need to install a rear-facing infant car seat (with base) in the back seat, preferably center position.  Because I purchased my Mazda used, I do not have the Owner's Manual.  I was told th question is whiseling noise when take off Sorry the question is for Tribute 2010 for whiseling noise when taking off Today I backed up in a narrow parking lot and as I put my 2009 Mazda 6 in drive and with my foot still on the brake the car accelrated unexpectedly over about 10 feet and into a building, the engine revving and smoking as I put it in neutral and t mazda3 2007 radio fuse location my alt light came on and stayed so i disconnected the battery to see if the car would sat running and now both headlaights burnt out the tach is in op no and the air bag lamp stays on all the time what happened? 94 mazda 626 air bag ligt stays on after alt burnt out what is the problem I REALLY THINK I HAVE THE ANSWER, I HOPE. I have an 2002 Mazda tribute it stalls especially in hot weather. The manual says very little, but it said it may be a vapor lock. My car was parked inside a humid garage so when it stalls on me seas Another really difficult thing to diagnose was the engine light, and warning bell sounding off for a yr. the dealer ship misdiagnosed the problem. Charged me for a diagnostic test they did not do. They sold me a battery, and sent me down the r I can't find my Satellitte Radio Number, it appeared originally on my NAV Screen when I would depress the SAT button. It no longer appears. I don't know if that's a malfunction.  i have a 2002 millenia , would a 1998 automtic transmission work for car, denny.koch@insightbb.com
