Owneda 2011 Altama , At 235000 km the front carrier bearing failed . At 240000 km the transmission started to get very noisy .Two transmission shops said it needed to be replaced as they do not fix them This transmission was serviced on a regular basis with new NS 2 fluid at every 80000 km . and regularly checked for clean fluid and level as it still has a dipstick . A good car with very few other problems . Good engine and good fuel economy A very soft mushy ride and not great in crosswinds . Found it to be hard on tires as a result of a very soft suspention , but that is just my opinion . Transmissions should go the life of the car . My car before that was a Ford Mustang [ 5 L] . Went for 20 years and 650000Km . The salt truck won out in the end! Good luck
