  1. Common theme here is automatic transmissions of any form are garbage. It is a constant weak spot for many brands and models. For years. I don’t know why people insist on buying automatics and putting up with expensive repairs, down time and short vehicle life. It’s time to go back to manual transmissions. People need to be a little less lazy. But if you absolutely insist to have your $tarbucks$ beverage or text, then an automatic provides a little easier (but not safer) way to multitask while driving. But the definition of insanity is repeating something over and over expecting a different result. The news here is continue to expect problems and large repair costs for choosing an automatic transmission. And don’t get me started on EV’s that don’t have transmissions. That’s another foolish choice.
