Catastrophic engine failure. Needs a total engine replacement, regular oil changes. We went to get the oil changed within 1,000 miles of the suggested mileage range and it was “out of oil”. The dealership told us we needed a new engine. It hasn’t been driven and sounds like a helicopter when turned on. We have had regular maintenance on the vehicle, one owner. It started acting up and was trying to stall out on the highway. Then seized up and wouldn’t go over 10mph. It’s totaled and we feel strongly that this is an extension of the current lawsuit covering many years of Mazda models.

Denso Fuel Pump should be recalled!!! It is not sending fuel to the my engine properly it's running rough at even 0-30 miles, becomes difficult to start (cold or mild engine), sputters and idel, and suddenly stalled out in the middle of the road several times, put us in danger from other motorist. My check engine warning indicator is also on, it's not shifting correctly and is lacking rpm power. Mechanic put a code scanner on it and found P0192 (low fuel rail pressure) and P0171 (System too lean)... I have the pictures. Several auto makers have issued recalls, including Mazda. But Mazda only went back as far as 2018. Toyota recalled cars as far back as 2013. Mazda needs to do the right thing or be forced to do so!

Sbs inadvertent activation while pulling into a clear parking stall

Filed Sep 16, 2019 · Transmission · 23,700 miles · TX

When the vehicle is parked, then I move gear from park to drive, or reverse to drive, the vehicle stalls to go into to drive for a couple of seconds, the engine revs then there is a forceful jolt when it finally kicks in to drive. Also, when I'm at a stop for a while, then press on the gas pedal to drive, it takes a couple of seconds for the car to drive. This is a big concern for me because there seems to be a delay with the drive gear.

While driving the vehicle, the infotainment system abruptly turned off. Shortly thereafter and immediately after activating the turn signal the car stalled. The vehicle seemed to have completely turned off and coasted to a stop. The car then restarted and the check engine light was on.
