*Update*
The service rep said that the ABS sensors are good and that NO codes are being tripped. The problem still persists and they are removing the wheels to rule that out as the culprit.
*Update*
They were able to put OEM wheels on the car and the problem still persists. They requested follow through from Mazda whether to replace the transmission or send out a specialist to inspect the car. So far, they still have NO idea what it is.

After a week of waiting for the decision and getting my data together, Mazda will cover the transmission. Just waiting for the tranny to come from Mazda.
Hi all,
My wife has a 2015 CX5 GT AWD with just over 14k miles on it. The car was originally lowered on Corksport spring but ended on H&R's. That was over 5 months ago. I then installed some Rota Grids with as close to Oem height (wheel and tire size) about 3 month ago. We are in SF and have driven the car to LA and back 3 times along with the daily commute. My wife was making a 3 point turn and as she accelerated forward, the car jolted and 3 loud bangs (like the tranny or transfer case disengaged) and the car lost power. It went into Limp mode. No lights on the dash came on. We had the car towed to Royal Mazda who instantly blamed the wheels and suspension. My question is can this be true? They claimed to reset it and as we pulled out, it did it again. So now they want to put the Oem set back on. I find it very hard to believe that we drove the car for 3 month at more than 6k miles and now it happens. Also, the wheel/tire combo is .2 inches smaller than Oem size and 7 rotations a mile more than Oem. WTF?
Any advice would help! We've had multiple AWD cars with different wheels and lowered and never had an issue.
Thanks.
