It happens a lot more than you would think. Ford went an entire generations of the Focus with their Powershift DCT transmission that never worked properly from day one (see the class action lawsuit). Also there is a class action lawsuit on Hyundai for faulty DCT transmissions. Honda has always had issues making dependable automatic transmissions. Any vehicle you buy today with a CVT will likely suffer transmission failure around 150k km's or less as that's why automakers like Nissan and Subaru had to offer 10 year warranty extensions on their CVT's.
