I never saw anyone who had trouble with push button
automatics. I heard rumors, but never actually knew anyone who
had problems. This is from the day they were new, to where you could
buy the car for $50 if it ran good, and the floor was still good enough that the
seat didn't rock, to the collector cars they now are. I had 57 and 58
Mercurys, 58 Edsil, 56-64 Chrysler products with them, NEVER HAD PROBLEMS.
With the Mercury and Edsils, that was about the only parts that were trouble
free. Chrysler didn't stop using them because of problems, they stopped
because the US Government mandated a standard automatic transmission selector
starting 1955. GM had to redesign their transmissions to put the R between
P and N, instead of all the way to the bottom where it had been from day
one.
