Yup, its completely garbage. I guess entertaining if thats your thing. I find straight pipes and Doug Demuro entertaining. But they dont come across as complete tools.
Yea that is something most autos will do...... sport modes and manual override helps. But bottom line is it cant read your mind. The 9 speed issues are a bit more severe.
The misbehaving transmission is the previous gen with the ZF 9 speed. While ZF makes some great transmissions the 9 speed transverse has been a bit of a train wreck.
They are now using an in house 10 speed.
Ours usually leaves a puddle in the middle and towards back of engine area. Maybe not humid enough yet.
On my ST it dripped onto an exhaust heat shield so I didnt see a puddle unless the humidity was very high and it had been running a while.
Thats why I was thinking that getting one of the YouTube influencers like Savageese to pick it up would help. They are much much less likely to ignore him and hes gone after auto manufacturers over issues before like the synchro issue with Honda.
