Used Wheels Reviews: 2008 to 2011 Mazda Tribute - TheChronicleHerald.ca

On a test-drive of the Tribute, pay special attention to the operation of the automatic transmission. A google search for “Mazda Tribute Transmission Problems” will reveal more information. Ask a mechanic for help if you’re not mechanically inclined. While the Tribute is in the air, that mechanic can also help inspect for signs of excessive rust. Tribute seems to be well-enjoyed for its driving experience and performance -- though potential transmission and fuel pump issues, both of which would incur fairly large repair costs, seem slightly worrisome. Seek out a good price on a model with full service records and opt for any extended warranty coverage available if you’re set on this model. Source: thechronicleherald.ca
