What is LKQ's warranty? Been lucky to have never had a blown tranny. I did blow up an engine (my fault). 1987 turbo Mitsu Starion I bought with 130k miles on the clock back in 2001. Good idea to avoid known listed Vins. That said I think our 2013 has a listed vin and has 75k miles and no issues.
Transmission blown at 72K miles

No kidding dude. I was simple stating blown transmission are a known issue in the CX-5 and one can look for themselves in the CX-5 Transmission and Engine forum for evidence of that, and someone immediately responds to me about Honda producing some faulty transmissions in 2006? As if that has anything to do with the thread? Not only that, but them producing some bad transmissions over 10 years ago has nothing to do with their reliability today.
And now the thread has somehow veered off into Honda Vs Mazda auto sales in Australia(lol2)

I think it was less the contents of your initial post and more the fact you only ever pipe up in negative Mazda threads. That's really the only time you ever participate. It's very off putting really. Surely you can understand that.
As for the transmission, early 2016's had a known issue, most other failures can statistically be called outliers for an otherwise reliable vehicle. How many threads pop up saying "2014 CX-5, 72k miles, transmission is fine!". So statistically these are outliers, not a "known issue".
Care to share links? I read here every other day and not too many high mileage out of warranty failures have been reported. Most follow the typical failure curve of some early failures ( < 15k ) followed by a long period of quiet. Now that these cars are hitting 4-5+ years of age, some more are appearing but still pretty low considering how many have sold in that time.

That's just on this site alone. Not even including the other Mazda forums around the internet, not including transmission replacements from owners who don't browse internet forums. The scary thing is, this same transmission is still being used in the new 2017 CX-5.

Poll in one of the threads seems to indicate what we already said.
Early CX-5's are largely reliable with outliers. Early 2016's had issues that got corrected. Looks like the late model 2015's did too.
Also, what the hell is up with this Mango? You don't own a 2017 CX-5...
Edit: And most of these seem to be early in warranty issues.

did this guy seriously vote "my transmission failed" for a car he doesnt have, on a poll/forum section that doesnt apply to him? this guy is so fucken ridiculous i am at a loss for words here.
Going through your links - as I said, most are early on the MTBF curve, which is fairly common for complex mechanical devices. Many of these are from the the very first weeks of production where some had defective solenoids (which were easy to fix and were a pretty small number) - links from 2012 are not useful.
While it's true not everyone is on a forum, there is enough activity here to extrapolate trends (or lack thereof) of common issues. Big ticket failures will create traffic too and, so far, we just don't see that much. Compared to the Focus dual clutch transmissions from a few years back that went through hundreds of pages and people with issues...
Again, I'd like to see more links on post-warranty failures. I know Chris had one.

Good point. Post warranty failure rates should be low.

They should,and I wouldn't even count Chris's,sorry,but that one was brought on by driver error as the main culprit.

fair vote.
I deleted my post. It's too off topic for my linking.

2nd. I mean really Mango voted that his 17 CX-5 transmission failed.
At least Molestor has a Skyactiv vehicle that it's a little more forgivable. Mango...not so much. I mean seriously Mango, wtf? Trolling exposed?
OT: Again seems most transmission issues are early failures fixed in-warranty. I'm not seeing a whole lot of after-warranty transmission posts. Chris and this thread are all that come to mind at the moment. I think OP has gotten some good advice on how to proceed...

yea seriously Mango. what the actual **** is wrong with you?
why would you vote "my transmission failed" for a car you don't own, especially since you havent experienced any failures?

According to the OP, there was/is a defective part in the transmission in some the the CX-5s. Sounds about right, I seriously doubt anyone drives this type of vehicle hard enough to cause a transmission failures like this.
