Exactly. I had a 2002 Mazda Protege5 that I bought with 45k miles on it and traded in at about 60k because the transmission kept nuking itself. It kept blowing out the rear passenger tire, even though the alignment checked out fine. One of the rear calipers seized up on it. It kept blowing headlights every couple of months. It was when the transmission started leaking for a third time that I've had enough and traded it in for my Celica.
