My issue is this:

I just bought a 2019 Mazda 2. It's not even 3 mos old yet and it already has a defective fuel pump. The dealer told me so after taking the car back there when it had trouble starting 3x on separate occasions. Good thing is that I was parked when it happened. What if something else happened while I was running on the streets because of a faulty something?

My colleagues say it's definitely not the battery. There are no indications in the dashboard on why it was failing to start. It just happened all of a sudden. And after it started back everything is back to normal.

Any Mazda owners have had this kind of issue? Especially brand new ones? Does Mazda have this issue?

Or for other car makes, did you have issues so soon after buying a brand new car?

Also, the dealer is basically saying, and I am paraphrasing, "s\h\i\t happens, but we are here to help our customers".

I can't believe they would say that! I would expect a car to begin showing issues after a year or so of continued use, although ideally it should not. But a brand new one and not even a quarter of a year old? This is shocking and disappointing at the same time.

Thoughts and opinions?


Thanks,

Fuel pump? Which one are they pointing? In-tank or the injector side high pressure one? Either way, it should be an isolated issue. You're covered by warranty. The dealership should have whatever is causing that sorted. Make sure to rule out bad fuel. If the starter cranks fine, battery & starter are ruled out...That would point fuel or fuel distribution. Do keep us posted.
Don't worry...Skyactivs are proven reliable. There are increasing numbers out there that are clocking 6fig miles & kms w/ no issues. This is just 1 of em....
