Transmission has always hard shifted between 2nd and 3rd gear. Wrench light came on. Tried to make it to a garage but the vehicle failed to shift and the RPMs red lined. Had to pull over in the middle of nowhere and wait for a tow truck in the freezing cold. Took 7 days for a replacement transmission to be installed at a price of $2700. Guess this is why Mazda/Ford went away from the 4 speed transmission after this model year, they're pretty unreliable from my reading. A transmission shouldn't fail at 70k miles unless there's an underlying issue.
