  Brake Failure for No Reason at 28K Miles - 2009 Mazda Tribute
  By electricstar - November 27 - 1:20 pm

  We own a 2009 Tribute, and thought it was a really good car, until yesterday, 3.5 years after we bought it. I was out with my kids, the car went "ping--." A red light indicates "brake." I thought my parking brake was on, but it wasnt. The display says "check brake system." I tried to brake, there was no traction. The car kept going. I stepped on the brake all the way, still no traction. I managed to roll the car back to our house. I called Madzda and Mazda refuses to take responsilities and wants me to pay for checkup just because the car is "out of warranty." If we got killed yesterday, whod pay for the checkup? Mazda refused to allow us to speak with management.
