They don’t get the transmission to the required temperature to check the fluid level and end up setting it way too high. When under a load, such as towing, the fluid aerates, causing overheating. It then overheats to the point of venting fluid from the top of the case vent. Likely all they had to do is properly set the level and it would have been fine, but that’s unfortunately an all too common workmanship issue. I don’t know why people buy used vehicles and then immediately blame the manufacturer they didn’t buy it from for the “issues” they encounter. People in general do not take care of their vehicles; especially leases. They know they don’t own it so they don’t care if it has issues later in life. We’ve had lease turn ins with 25k miles on them and no oil change; the dealer flips them and then the sucker who buys it gets on their social media soap box as soon as they start having issues as if it’s the manufacturer’s fault.</blockquote>
