My fuel pump burned out after only 60k miles.... very expensive repair. Mazda said the problem was only with the early 2019 models so mine wasn't included yet my fuel pump did exactly what the ones included in the recall did, but I was left with over $1700 repair bill to replace the fuel pump. Obviously the "improved design" used in the second half of the year isn't really improved, and I've never had to replace a fuel pump on a vehicle with so few miles on it. We were sitting idle waiting for food at a restaurant and the engine just died and we were unable to re-start the vehicle. No issues prior to this, always kept fuel at least 1/4 tank or more full and no engine warning lights until AFTER the engine died.
Unknown. The engine started to stall as I was driving and the gas pedal wasn't working. The car shutdown after reaching 0 moles per hour and it would jerk when I tried starting it. The car had enough fuel, battery and was service a month prior. The car would not start and had to wait a few hours to try again. The issue is similar to the recall this model has but when I checked my VIN is all cleared . Please Help.

Mazda recall 5321K NHTSA recall 21V875 has been open since Nov 2021 and notification by letter not received until Jan 2022 stating that a fix may be available by summer 2022. Meaning I am driving a vehicle that may stall at any time possibly causing a crash. This is unacceptable from a safety standpoint. NHTSA needs to apply pressure on Mazda to resolve this ASAP or provide loaner vehicles to those customers at risk.

THE FUEL LOW LEVEL LIGHT IS NOT TRIGGERED UNTIL 12 MILES OR LESS OF FUEL REMAINING. THE SERVICE BULLETIN PROVIDED BY THE DEALERSHIP, MED CENTER MAZDA IN PELHAM ALABAMA, SHOWS THAT WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE SENDER VOLTAGE FROM THE RBCM AND THE FUEL INJECTION AMOUNT FROM THE PCM BOTH AGREE THAT 2,6 GALLONS REMAIN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER POWERS A TRANSISTOR AND TURNS THE LIGHT ON. IN A DISCUSSION WITH THE SERVICE ADVISOR, WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE ARE 2.6 GALLONS REMAINING THEN WHY THE MILES TO EMPTY DOES NOT REGISTER 30-50 BASED ON THE EPA RATINGS FOR THE VEHICLE. WE DECIDED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO CLEAR ANY RESIDUAL INFORMATION IN THE COMPUTER AND RESET THE AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING THE MAZDA CX-5 LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER GETTING IT BACK FROM THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THE FUEL LOW LEVEL LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE UNTIL 6 (SIX) MILES TO EMPTY. I EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND DROVE THE VEHICLE ABOUT 5 MILES TO MY HOME. THE MILES TO EMPTY READ 0 (ZERO) WHEN PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I PARKED THE MAZDA AND CHANGED VEHICLES TO COMPLETE MY TASKS FOR THE DAY. UPON STARTING THE MAZDA THE NEXT MORNING, THE MILES TO EMPTY STILL SHOWED 0 (ZERO) WHILE ALSO SHOWING AN AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY AT 24+ MPG. I THEN DROVE TO THE GAS STATION WHERE 13.573 GALLONS WERE REQUIRED TO FILL THE TANK. THAT LEAVES APPROXIMATELY 1/10TH OF A GALLON UNTIL THE CAR RAN OUT OF FUEL, ALTHOUGH I HAD ONLY TRAVELED 6-7 MILES AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON. BOTTOM LINE: THERE WAS DEFINITELY LESS THAN 2.6 GALLONS IN THE TANK WHEN THE FUEL LOW LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE AND WHICH COULD ALSO BE DAMAGING THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE COMPUTERS, PROGRAMMING, AND/OR SENSORS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THE MALFUNCTIONING FUEL SYSTEM ON THE 2019 MAZDA CX-5 COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.
