2017 Mazda CX-3 Complaints

I put my right signals on and came to a near stop, as I did a right turn into the parking space in front of the dry cleaners. I was slowly creeping into the parking space, and pushing the brakes, as I slowed down to a near stop in the parking spot. All of a sudden, as my right foot was still on the brakes, I felt the car lurch forward, and felt myself pulled back into my seat from the velocity, as the car suddenly accelerated forward out of control! I had NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR! I saw myself speeding towards the drycleaners’ glass window storefront!

THIS IS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. P/N PELL - 1335ZA. OTHER NUMBERS ON THE LABEL ARE 16.12.22 AND H00073961. I AM IN POSSESSION OF THE FAULTY PART.

WE CALLED 911 AND A STATE TROUPER CAME IN ABOUT 20 MINS. HE TOOK MY HUSBAND TO GET A A FEW GALLONS OF GAS AND THE CAR STARTED. BEFORE THE STALL, WE HAD ENOUGH GAS FOR 39 MILES. WE DID NOT RUN OUT OF GAS. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE ABOUT SIX MONTHS EARLIER ON A LESS BUSY ROAD AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT SO I DID NOT FRET ABOUT IT THAT TIME AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A QUIRKY THING. WE MADE IT HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE MECHANIC LOCALLY FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP. HE...

On 3 separate occasions this car presented as if it were out of fuel while the gas gauge showed it having fuel. It sputtered then lost power as if it ran out of gas. Two of these times were on the interstate while the 3rd time was in a residential area.
