I live in california and in 2001 bought a 2001 mazda tribute. A few days after buying it it stalled and the altinator had to be replace. In 2003 at 47,000 miles the vehicle began to stall when slowing down or stopping. They worked on the computer sensor, said it was fixed, paid nothing since it was under warrenty. Few months later it was stalling again, PCV Hose was replaced. They were going to charge 310.00, but I contacted the area rep and the charges were dropped. On november 7, 2005 brought in for same issue, a sensor was replaced and on the way home on the 8th it stalled. Brought car back same day was given a rental car. 3 1/2 days later they said it was the idle air control valve. On the 16 they called and said they were working on it and would test drive it. They would call back in an hour. I called 2 1/2 hours later, they told me that it was still stalling. Questioned why we replaced the oil pan and asked if we let it sit without oil for days. It never did. Told we needed to replace the bottom of the engine, because of the clutch. Having no oil could have caused damage. They would let me know the next morning. At 4:00 pm they called and said it was running fine all day, that in a few months we would have to get a new engine. They would only charge us for parts and since we had the rental car for 10 days we would have to reemberse them. would this car fall under the lemon law?
