Yes, the 510 had problems with its automatic, and it tended to die at
stoplights as well. It blew out a radiator once, but it blew out on
the bottom, and it was so loud when I drove it on the interstate that
I couldn't hear the blowout. The temp gauge didn't work, so the first
sign I got was a loud bang. It splutter sputter coughed its way off
the next exit and promptly died. I say good riddance :-).
