Consumer Description

FUEL PUMP NOZZLE IS CRACKED ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK AND FUEL PRESSURE TO DROP CAUSE DRIVEABILITY PROBLEMS AND STALLING. MAZDA CLAIMS ITS THE RING AND GASKET ON THEIR RECALL BUT IT'S THE FUEL PUMP CRACKING. MY CAR STARTED BUCKING AND RUNNING ERRATICALLY. INSTALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR ROUGHLY ONE YEAR.
