2015 Mazda CX-5
I was driving along the 401 on my back to Ottawa from Toronto and the transmission acted very weird all of a sudden.
It was stuck in 5th gear for a while, revving really high. I pulled over and started the car again, this time it was stuck in 2nd gear.
Just curious how frequent are transmission problems on the CX-5?
My car covered about 60k and luckily since I'm still under warranty, Mazda is taking care of all the repairs.
I'm wondering should I demand an extended warranty on the new transmission?
 
Since you are still under warranty, you will continue to be covered until your current warranty expires.

Only If YOU were buying the transmission yourself out of pocket would you then get a warranty on that item you bought.

Haven't noticed an unusual number of transmission complaints. Most have generally been minor, though since it cannot be repaired by a dealer or ordinary shop, Mazda replaces the entire unit instead. It is one of the most complex parts of the car.
