2 Transmission Stuck In Gear problem of the 2014 Mazda CX-5

Failure Date: 12/23/2013

The first incident was when I started the engine, the engine warning light and all other warning lights(sbc, abs, etc. ) came on. I called the Mazda service for an appointment several days later and I went to service for a problem, the guy who in charge told me since the engine light came off we can't do anything. So they just did change my oil and left. Second time happened with same problem, I went to my buddy(mechanic) at other car service he told me the guy told me was wrong because every car has a computer chip that records every problem. Anyway, my buddy diagnosed my Mazda Cx-5 and told me that my car has a bad or weak transmission signal that caused the engine shut off so I went to Mazda service for second time with same problem, they diagnosed and told me that it was the weak transmission signal so they had to reprogram it. On April 26, 2014, approximately 5:00am I was driving on hwy. About 60 mph and sudden all the warning lights include engine light came on but this time engine didn't shut off but transmission had no control to itself. I was so scare and all my friends who were with me got scared also because it was raining hard early morning. I had to pull over to service road then I made a completed stop but the transmission didn't start with 1st gear. It felt like it stuck on 6th gear so I had to press accelerator all the way to kick to it. This is the third time happen to me I don't feel comfortable with my Cx-5. I took it to the third time service for same problem on April 28, 2014. I've never had this kind of problem for any other cars that I've ever driven specially a brand new car. Anyone who has bought Cx-5 have same problem should make a complaint.

Failure Date: 11/06/2013

I was about 30 minutes in my drive on a 40-50 degree f morning. I stopped at a traffic light. When I tried to accelerate, my Cx-5 appeared to have stopped shifting gears. I was stuck in a low gear. I could get up to 20-30 mph, but my car would be struggling at 4k rpm. Luckily, I was already near my destination.
