| There's a Mazda in that garage. |
Watch out - if you own one of the over-52,000 Mazda Tribute vehicles built in model year 2001 and 2002, you could have a vehicle that bursts into fire unexpectedly. Finally federal safety investigations have resulted in a recall of the dangerous vehicles.
Reports of fires and houses burning down have been reported for years, including
homes burned to the ground and injuries. It's been a "quiet" disaster for Mazda owners.
Do you own one of these dangerous lemon Mazda vehicles?

Park it outside? Is that so your house doesn't burn down too? Folks, this one is serious.
If you own a lemon Mazda Tribute, don't take a chance. If your Mazda dealer isn't helping you, we can. We're the lawyers at US Lemon Law .com. Getting rid of lemons is what we do. Making the factory pay for it? Well, that's only fair too.
