Problem overview

Some Mazda CX-5 owners report experiencing acceleration loss and stalling issues accompanied by a jerking sensation while driving. This can often be attributed to a misfiring engine, which may result from faulty spark plugs or coil packs. Additionally, a bad fuel filter can restrict fuel flow, leading to similar jerking during acceleration. Some owners have also reported transmission problems, such as jerking or shuddering during acceleration or deceleration, which can exacerbate these sensations. Furthermore, a malfunctioning fuel pump can cause irregular acceleration and stalling, significantly impacting the vehicle's performance. To effectively address these concerns, it is advisable for owners to have their Mazda CX-5 inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve the underlying issues.
