The automatic transmission was flushed ~ 30k and 60k. I remember the 30k one becuase it was an unexpected cost, and I had to get new brake pads at that time as well.

I'm a little concerned about getting covered since my car is close to 100k, and I haven't seen many reports about these automatic transmissions showing the same problems. Perhaps it's because my mileage is unusually high.
