Would you ask to get down of a plane if engine has problems?

Hi all,

My flight was scheduled at 2000 from MTY to MEX. Once we were on the plane, pilot said: Sorry for the delay, but this plane had some engine problems in MEX.

I had a window seat and when we were supposed to be moving when I saw smoke coming out of the engine an immediately mechanics trying to fix it.

After many announcements and ppl checking/fixing the engine, we were asked to move to a different plane.

Question is: in a similar situation, would you ask to get down even if the airline/pilot says it's "safe"?
