Short story => Bought a used CX-5 2016 today - Chevy AutoNation so I have an iron-clad 5 day return on it. When reviewing CarFax it said it had a transmission replaced I'm concerned about

6/29/2015 - sold
9/13/2018 - Transmission computer / module checked & Transmission replaced - miles: 38,763
9/30/2019 - Offered for sale
11/20/2019 - I bought it - miles: 52k

QUESTION =>
How concerned should I be that a transmission had to be replaced after 38k miles or about 3-ish years? I've never had to do that before.
I've googled some transmission issues, and as with anything, it sounds alarming.
How likely has that problem been fixed with that repair? Am I likely to need to hassle with that again?
I'm going to try and contact the repair place and ask why it was replaced - I dont think I can contact the previous owners any way. They kept it another year - but now I'm curious why sell a car fairly early.

I'm not asking for guarantees or anything - just does anyone know if I should be really worried or not?

Thank you! Help!

If the car had a transmission issue and the trans was replaced, the problem most likely stayed with the old transmission. Drive more worry less.

 

78,000 on my 2016.5, no transmission problems. I wouldn't worry.

 

If you call them... and you ask them why they replaced the transmission .. what answer do you think you might get? (Because it was bad)? Maybe? What type of answer do you expect to get.. also do you expect to be able to talk to the EXACT people who “might” know anything about this 1 single car that they worked on “how long ago now?”
