2001 MAZDA TRIBUTE — POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)

2 COMPLAINTS: I TOOK THE CAR TO A MAZDA DEALER 5 TIMES STARTING BACK IN 2003. 3 TIMES FOR RECALLS ,AND ON EACH OCCASION HAD BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE E THAT THE RPMS WOULD JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN GO UP RAPIDLY, AND THE ONLY WHY TO STOP IT WAS SHUT IT OFF. OF COURSE THIS WAS ALWAYS WHILE WAITING AT LIGHTS WHEN I WOULD FIRST START THE CAR IN THE MORNING BUT NOW WAS AT LEAST ONE WEEK. THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER BACK WHEN IT FIRST STARTED AND SAID IT WAS THE PCM MODULAR. T WAS ALSO REPLACED ALONG WITH THE FIRST RECALL . THE CAR WAS OKAY FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND THEN STARTED DOING IT AGAIN THE SAME THING, THE RPMS RAPIDLY CAME UP- THIS TIME WAS ALREADY A RECALL SO THEY FIXED IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER NEW PCM, BUT ONCE AGAIN IT DID THE SAME THING AFTER ABOUT 8 MONTHS. I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN WITH ANOTHER RECALL ON A DIFFERENT MATTER, SEAT BELT ASSEMBLED, AND TOLD THEM THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING. BY THIS TIME THE WARRANTY WAS OUT BUT BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN IN BEFORE FOR THIS THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE MAZDA TO COVER THE PART AGAIN, $1200. THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN AND I COULD NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS PARTS AGAIN. I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS DIAGNOSED CORRECTLY FROM THE BEGINNING. NOW IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE STEERING AND EVERYTHING LOCKED BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER THIS HAPPENED ON A REGULAR BASES. . I HAVE HELD OFF ON COMPLAINING, BUT THIS HAS GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL. I THOUGHT MAYBE I JUST GOT A LEMON, THEN I READ THE OTH
