What Owners Say
"2 different times in the last 3 months my Mazda 3 exhibited extreme engine problems immediately following a gas fill up. Both times, P0171 error codes flashed on a diagnostic tool, indicating a lean fuel condition in bank 1. Idle was affected, as was the ability to start the engine or drive normally. These warnings lasted for several days until ceasing on their own. A mechanic was unable to diagnose a problem."
Anonymous, NV (2021 Mazda 3 Select 2.5-L 4 Cyl)"Low oil warning appears after 2-3 thousand miles if oil isn't topped off. Dealer says known problem with valve seals."

"I rent this car on Turo and have had 2 customers report issues after filling the car. In on situation, the customer had only filled the car to a half tank. In the other, the customer had filled it to full. In both cases, the car went into a limp mode after the fill up and would not start. In one of those cases, the car's ignition system would not even allow the starter to turn."
