Some Mazda CX-3 owners report experiencing fuel pump failure, which can lead to symptoms such as difficulty starting the engine, engine misfires, loss of power during acceleration, and even engine stalling. Signs of a failing fuel pump may include a rough-running engine or trouble starting, and some owners have noted deceleration issues persisting even after a fuel pump replacement at 83,000 miles, suggesting that the initial problem may not have been fully resolved. Ignoring fuel pump issues can result in total engine failure, necessitating more extensive repairs. It is advisable for owners facing these challenges to have their vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to identify the root cause of the recurring deceleration problem and ensure that the replacement fuel pump is functioning correctly.
