During hot summer months when running errands (for example) which would require stopping and re-starting the vehicle several times, the cabin will begin to fill with gas fumes. This will start about 30 minutes into the trip. The fumes become so strong that I become sick and have a headache. You can smell fumes inside and outside of the vehicle. This does not happen during highway travel. Even though this is a recall issue for the 2016 Mazda 3, for some reason it does not apply to my Mazda 3. if I want to have this repaired, I would have to pay out of pocket for something that should be replaced by Mazda.

Fueling car and pump auto-shutoff did not work causing gasoline to overflow the tank and spill on the ground. Was not holding the handle or attempting to top-off the tank. Experienced same issue one week later with 2016 mazda6 at a different location.
