THE FUEL PUMP UNPREDICTABLY STOPS WORKING AND RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO MOVE. THE FUEL PUMP CUT OUT ON ME AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE SCOOTER. THIS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME ON A 3 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY. THE FUEL PUMP HAS CUT OUT ON ME IN TRAFFIC MORE THAN 10 TIMES. PROBLEM IS FIXED ONLY BY WAITING. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 15 MINUTES, SOMETIMES IT TAKES 24 HOURS. I WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND YAMAHA REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM FOR FREE. I SPOKE WITH YAMAHA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL. I TOLD THEM THAT THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE, AS THIS 2011 YAMAHA ZUMA IS HAVING FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS EXACTLY LIKE THE PROBLEMS THE 2009 MODELS HAD. NO WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, NOR DOES THE ECU SEND AN ERROR CODE, BUT NEVERTHELESS THE FUEL PUMP CANNOT BE HEARD PRESSURIZING THE SYSTEM. *TR

YAMAHA ZUMA 125 DIES WHILE IN OPERATION. APPEARS TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALLS WHILE IN OPERATION. THIS IS A SCOOTER WITH ONLY 160 MILES ON IT. IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, IT STALLS! VERY UNSAFE! ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER! ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE FUEL PUMP IS NOT WORKING. TURN ON THE KEY, NO FUEL PUMP NOISE. THEREFORE, NO GAS! I PURCHASED THIS SCOOTER NEW. I HAD THE ISSUE AT 50 MILES AND IT CONTINUED. ONE YEAR WARRANTY, SO DEALER WON'T ASSIST WITHOUT BILLING ME. THIS SCOOTER HAD A RECALL IN 2009 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. YAMAHA MOST LIKELY PUT THE SAME PARTS ON LATER YEAR MODELS. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
