Engine loses power significantly or sometimes goes upto 5000rpm in 5 mph speed without any sign. Stalls middle of a street without any sign, as well. Air flow sensor was replaced by Mazda's expense on August 15. However, the same problem repeated to occur again in two month; and was told by dealer (in mi) that fuel pump needs to be replaced. Dealer advised not to drive the car because of unpredictability of the problem occurance. Completely out of control, and it is quite dangerous.
