TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MAZDA TRIBUTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS STUCK IN THE "UP" POSITION AND IT TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT TO DEPRESS IT.

THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,100. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. UPDATED 03/01/10 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL GETS STUCK IN TH UP POSITION AND REQUIRED AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF FORCE TO DEPRESS. UPDATED 08/20/10*JB

I HAVE A 2006 V4 MAZDA TRIBUTE. ABOUT 3 OUT OF 5 TIMES WHEN I GO TO PUSH THE GAS THE PEDAL WILL GET STUCK, I HAVE TO THEN PRESS VERY HARDLY ON THE GAS AND IT WILL JUST TAKE OFF VERY FAST. IF I WAS TO EVER NEED TO MOVE MY CAR UP JUST A TINY BIT IT COULD CAUSE A HUGE ISSUE. THERE IS NOTHING I CAN REALLY DO TO CORRECT IT, I'VE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND SEEN OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

I DRIVE A 2006 MAZDA TRIBUTE. THE VEHICLES GAS PEDAL OFTEN GETS "STUCK" FROM A DEAD STOP. THE PEDAL IS ABLE TO BE MOVED BUT ONLY AFTER A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE PEDAL. WHILE PULLING INTO MY GARAGE THIS OCCURRED AND I ENDED UP RUNNING INTO MY OWN TRASH CAN. THE DAMAGE WAS MINIMAL BUT THIS STICKING OCCURS VERY FREQUENTLY. TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STOP LIGHTS, AND PULLING INTO MY OWN GARAGE ALL SEEM TO BE BURDENS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IT IS MOSTLY A PROBLEM DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE VEHICLE MUST BE FORCED TO GO FASTER THAN THE OPERATOR WANTS IT TO GO IN ORDER TO MOVE. THIS MEANS THAT I AM LUNGING TOWARDS VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME INSTEAD OF BEING ABLE TO GRADUALLY EASE FORWARD. I BELIEVE IT IS EVEN FURTHER MORE A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE IN PARKING LOTS DUE TO PEDESTRIANS. *TR

MY GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK WHETHER IT IS COLD OR WARM. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2007. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO CARBON BUILDUP AND THAT A FUEL INJECTION CLEANING WAS NEEDED. MY THROTTLE BOTTLE WAS REPLACED ALSO. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, MY PEDAL HAS BEEN STICKING AGAIN. THIS IS QUITE DANGEROUS SINCE I CANNOT MOVE FORWARD AT A LIGHT WHEN IT TURNS GREEN AND I CANNOT ACCELERATE WHEN ALREADY DRIVING. I SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE TO THE NHTSA. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY THROTTLE BODY AGAIN WITHIN 2 YEARS, ESPECIALLY IF THIS IS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD. PLEASE REVIEW THIS ISSUE FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL. *TR

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE 2006 MAZDA TRIBUTE AT 45 MPH THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. AT THE FIRST INCIDENT THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD, BUT SHE STOPPED THE VEHICLE BY APPLYING THE BRAKE. DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT, THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS PULLED UP AND THE VEHICLE REVVED. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE BY SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION. *AK RETURNED USPS, 2ND ATTEMPT MADE 02/27/07 FAILED. *LJ
