On November 4, 2022 I was driving in the middle lane of I 87 north of Saratoga Springs. The car stalled and died. I was able to get to the break down lane. After sitting for 5 - 10 minutes, completely frazzled, I tried the ignition and the car started. The gas gauge said I had approximately ¼ tank left. I filled the car up and made it the rest of the way home. This had happened once before on a local road and we had the car towed. The thought was that maybe the car had run out of gas although the gas gauge did not so indicate. When I took the vehicle to the mazda dealer after considerable research, they indicated there were recalls on Denso fuel pump impellers for the model of my car in 2018 and following but not for my 2017 model. The date of that service was 1/17/23. There were no codes still in place that would identify the problem. I am certain that this is the problem. I only drive the car locally now and i keep the gas tank at least ½ full.

I was driving my 2017 Mazda CX-3 on the interstate when car suddenly jerked and failed to accelerate. I was driving 70 mph in the left lane when this happened and immediately started to pull over to the righthand shoulder of the road. The car jerked and slowed again when we were in the right lane. By the time I pulled off, the check engine light was on and the car had completely stalled. I was stuck on a narrow shoulder with a dog and two people in the car. We were lucky we made it to the shoulder at all before the car stalled. There was no indication before the car jerked that there was any problem with the vehicle. The car was towed to the dealership and the cause of the check engine light was identified as a leaking fuel pump/fuel rail. I had to have the fuel pump replaced along with a valve cover gasket.

This is a fuel pump problem. P/n pell - 1335za. Other numbers on the label are 16.12.22 and h00073961. I am in possession of the faulty part. We were travelling at highway speed on route 1 in delaware. The car stalled in the middle lane and we almost made it to the shoulder. My husband, 70, had to push it the shoulder. It would not restart. We had my 95 year old mother in law in the car. The temperature was close to 100 degrees that day and sunny. We were very concerned for her. We called 911 and a state trouper came in about 20 mins. He took my husband to get a a few gallons of gas and the car started. Before the stall, we had enough gas for 39 miles. We did not run out of gas. This happened once before about six months earlier on a less busy road and I was able to restart it so I did not fret about it that time and thought it was just a quirky thing. We made it home without further incident. We brought it to the mechanic locally for replacement of the fuel pump. He verified the problem with his diagnostic equipment. The check engine code for the event was p0192. Total cost of repair was $900.00. There is a current fuel pump recall on mazdas but it starts with the model year 2018. Mine is a 2017 but the problem appears to be the same! The component is in my possession but no other parties, besides the mechanic, have examined it.

While driving 70 MPH on the interstate, vehicle stalled and started jerking, unable to accelerate, losing speed quickly. Fortunately I was able to move onto the shoulder, avoiding a semi truck approaching quickly behind, and another semi trucked parked along the interstate blocking access to the shoulder.
