How can you smell the transmission fluid burning when an automatic transmission is a sealed unit? There is no way you could smell fluid unless you have a leak somewhere. Believe me, I have seen transmissions with 200,000 miles on them from GM (yes, GM), and the fluid is blacker than the ace of spades, and you can't smell anything at all, and they still functioned like new.

When are you going to accept the fact that there are multi-GM owners that have not had the horrific situations that you have had?
Sorry, but the whole world of GM experiences does not revolve around yours, but you sure act like it does, and that's what starts these back and forth arguments.
Whether you know it or not, when you insult a person's vehicle, you are insulting the owner as well.
Personally I'm not a fan of imports, never owned one, but other family members of mine have, and had trouble with 2 Toyotas (YES, THEY WERE MAINTAINED PROPERLY!); call it a claim if you will. But yet I don't go on import threads and criticize people who own them, why? Because I truly don't give a rat's ass about what others drive, people who I don't even know.
Domestics have served me well for over 18 years now, GM and Ford, guess I should play the lottery seeing how I'm so lucky, and before you reply to this comment, which I know you will, take notes that I have not stated that domestics are better than imports. In this day and age, every manufacturer has problems and is cutting corners. There is a reason why you here so much jive about Nissan, Toyota, and Honda; the truth is the quality has gone down, plain and simple.
