So, although I've never driven a vehicle with this particular tranny, we do hear much negative about it. I do know at least one person who does in fact own one and they've made no mention of any issues. And the complaints from those owners seems to be high even if the tranny itself isn't necessarily unreliable. Here is an explanation from AlexOnAutos(AoA) with the issues(or shifting pattern) with the ZF 9 spd tranny and how some of the reliability issues have been calculated. Not saying that there AREN'T some reliability issues with this ZF tranny as even the most reliable tranny(or engine) has some failures.
