5 speed trans failure

My sons 5 speed has failed at 39000 miles.Is this a common problem? Screwed again. He was returning to college and the car jumped out of 5th gear on the interstate and began making noise. We towed it in but the trans appears to have failed. The car still moves but make awful noises.
