if true, it is really very very disappointing... do you have more details about the nature of the failure?
also, the triggering factor should be more related to the mileage, not the time (unless we are talking about seals failure or something similar)

after a little more digging and youtubing, it seems ALL these transmissions will eventually need to be rebuilt or replaced. Looks like ~8-10yr is the shelf life so thats probably why we arent hearing about GTR failures since they havent hit that 8yr mark yet.
Will be interesting to observe the next couple of years and whether that brings out more of the 2018 and 2019 owners complaining about trans issues.

even the hollywood mechanic guy says that for mercedes, its better to just go to the dealer for a replacement as opposed to him repairing it coz his cost wouldnt be much less. He says only in case of ferraris its more practical to get it fixed by him because ferrari charges much more than mercedes for a replacement. Around 15k for mercedes vs 40k for ferrari.

so its not mileage based at all and totally time based. Something to do with a seal in the transmission that holds the bearings in place which gets harder and shrinks after 8-10 years and once it shrinks, thats when you start seeing the leaks. So yeah not a mechanical failure per say but still something that would likely require a replacement due to the cost.
