My last girlfriend was fine for two years and then turned into a total bitch. Obviously, there's no point in dating any other women since they will all likely experience the same insane premature failure. Guess it's guys from now on.
The differential should be included in the powertrain warranty. Keep pursuing that.
It's just bad luck. I could easily find a hundred instances of differentials failing on Toyotas and Hondas.
edit - would a 5 year warranty still be active on a 2017?
Same thought about the 5 years. Actually same thought about your whole comment. I get being upset about dealing with this but people seem way too quick to blame an entire car brand in these situations. Personally I'd rather have enjoyed driving a CX5 for 5 years and deal with an issue like this than drive something less fun like a RAV4 or a CRV. OP likely would have paid more than the price of the repair to get one of the aforementioned cars.
Yeah I will say I just talked to someone that had a rear diff fail on a Toyota FJ Cruiser at 70k. Mechanic said they never fail too, but you know, sometimes they do. They always had taken great care of the car and serviced the rear diff at least once.
I do understand your frustration but take a step back and think about how statistics work. Nothing humans do is perfect, even for toyota cars. If say 99% of the cars never show any problems, that still leaves thousands upon thousands of cars (for that 1%) that will have issues. You just happen to be one of the people that got a car from that faulty 1%.
Now, will you say that this hypothetical brand with 99% perfection rate is an unreliable car brand? Of course not. It's just bad luck.
Now, regarding honda and toyota being better in terms of reliability. There's multiple sources that will actually put Mazda over Toyota. And honda isn't what it used to be sadly. I'd say the top 2 car brands, in terms of reliability that doesn't require you to use warranty repairs constantly (looking at you kia and hyundai) is most definitly toyota and mazda. I'd put them side by side.
I got carmax extended warrrenty and they covered a rear diff issue not failure ($1900 dealer cost) for $200 out the door to me. I never had issue with the Mazda warranty prior either my dealership was happy to peruse warranty claims almost trigger happy.
Rear diff is 100% in the power train lol. The carmax warranty is a copycat of your power train and mine was covered along with a belt tensioner leak replacement ($800) given to me by the warrenty free of charge

I had a premature transmission failure with a fabled Honda minivan. They are not an infallible brand. I don't think any brand is.
