Mazda Complaint - Can't Get Parts
Complaint
Been trying to get a suction hose for a 2002 Tribute for 3 weeks now, auto parts stores say it has to come from the factory. Mazda dealership says there is a backlog on parts. I called Mazda Corp. and they advised me to go to a "Junkyard" for the part.

Try looking on line. I justed binged this hose you need, and tons of sites come up, with this hose in stock, for your 2002 Tribute.

Would a suction hose from a Ford Escape or Mercury Mariner fit your Tribute? The Escape and the Tribute are identical. Maybe try a Ford dealer, and say that the hose is for a 2002 Escape instead of a 2002 Tribute.

I just waited two months for the little lever that advances the line on a line trimmer because it was backordered. This happens with mechanical things. A part like a suction hose is hard to determine how many need to be manufactured,and if you make too many, you have money tied up in excess parts and distribution. The suggestion of Going to Ford sounds feasible, as does the junkyard. I had a '49 Hudson once, and the voltage regulater went out, Fortunately for the Hollander Interchange book, I was able to get one off of another make car that worked.
