2017 Mazda CX-5 engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Check engine light went on at 56mph and stalled the vehicle. Almost causing and accident all lights on dash went on and off. I stopped turn the vehicle off then on and only the check engine light went on but started stalling after accelerating again the after about 3 mile the lights and stalling happened again. This can cause a major accident
The contact owns a 2017 Mazda CX-5. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to her daughter's residence. The contact then towed the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the engine to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.
The car stalled while in motion on the highway with 56 miles left in the gas tank. This caused a very dangerous situation due to the fact that I could not accelerate at all, as the traffic was speeding past. I had to coast through traffic to the safety of the shoulder of the road. Once the vehicle came to a stop, it wouldn't restart and it seemed as if it never actually stopped trying to restart. I noticed a few things during this situation. 1. The check engine light came on 2. All the dash board lights appeared to come on 3. The emergency brake and hold button for city parking brake were flashing at the center counsel 4. The dashboard warnings rotated between, city parking brake, parking brake, cruise system disabled 5. The battery finally died after several minutes of this happening my family and I were brought to safety by a state trooper and had the vehicle towed to a gas station. We filled the gas tank, jumped the car and it has not had the issue since. Unfortunately the rear lift gate has only worked one time after the event but I am not sure what is going on there. I had this same issue happen once in 2019, and the vehicle restarted. I took it to a mazda dealer and they said it may have been bad gasoline. The vehicle issue seems to match a similar issue mentioned in recall 3719f.
Loss of power to a complete shutdown while at highway speeds of 60-70mph with fuel tank reading 30 miles to empty. Tow was necessary to dealership. Replaced fuel pump. 2nd occurrence with 60 miles to empty. Broke down again while at highway speeds. Towed a second time to dealership. Replace high/low fuel pump. Was instructed not to operate vehicle below 1/4 tank of fuel. Major safety issue while at highway speeds with difficulty moving to a safe area. Seems to be a design or fuel pump issue.
Without any warning, while driving on a highway at approximately 65 MPH, the car suddenly stalled. Thankfully, on both occasions, I was able to avoid an accident and pull over to the side of the road. Coincidentally, I also own a 2018 mazda cx-5 and in october of 2019, I received a recall notice (3719f, the federal safety agency #19v‑497) for the 2018 car. The description in the recall sounds like the exact issue I have faced with my 2017 mazda yet there is no recall as of now on my 2017.
