“I was waiting in a stationary position, at a red light, behind some other vehicles, with my foot on the brake pedal. All of a sudden, the vehicle started to lurch forward as if someone had stepped hard on the gas pedal! I was struggling to keep the car still by depressing the brake pedal harder, but it wouldn't stop the car. I had to put it in park and turn off the engine to stop the forward thrust of the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11232824, filed 2019-07, 11,000 miles“On friday (june 29th, 2018) around 9:29 pm, my car broke down while my family and I were traveling from rochester ny to boston massachusetts. I was driving down the massachusetts turnpike when all of a sudden my check engine light turned on and my car just started to slow down in the middle of the highway. I was able to pull over in time and called Mazda roadside assistance because after the car stopped, it wouldn't turn back on. Since we were on a restricted highway, my car had to be towed and we were taken to a safer location. …”
NHTSA complaint #11111474, filed 2018-07, 15,816 miles“- My 2018 Mazda CX 9 started stalling and jittering at idle and then eventually during slow driving. - Next day I got a check engine light, took to Mazda service center at the dealership I have been going to for last 6 years since I bought the car. - Service center diagnosed that there was a coolant leak through the cylinder head which seems to have cracked. - Further investigation indicated that this has been identified on many other similar Mazda engines and a Technical Service Bulletin had been issued by Mazda to Dealers. …”
NHTSA complaint #11618999, filed 2024-10“When this vehicle is low on fuel (but not empty) and under heavy acceleration, the fuel pump temporarily fails causing the engine to stall. This creates a serious safety hazard. Other 2019 Mazda models were covered for a similar defect under NHTSA Campaign Number 21V-875, however this specific VIN is questionably not included under that recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11465504, filed 2022-05“The contact owns a 2018 Mazda CX-9. The contact stated that while pulling up to a gas pump the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact added gasoline to the vehicle, restarted the vehicle, and was able to continue to drive to her residence. Several weeks later the failure recurred while the contact was pulling into a parking lot. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact’s husband arrived at the scene and added gasoline to the vehicle. The vehicle was restarted however, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. …”
