They didn't properly build and install them at the factory?
I'd make an educated guess and surmise that there could be many causes:
1. Towing in overdrive. You'd be surprised how many constantly do this.
2. Using quicklube places to change tranny fluid which suctions fluid out instead of dropping the pan. Catastrophic failure happens quickly after this usually.
3. Poor maintenance. If it's leaking fluid maybe someone overfilled? Maybe there are other items that should have been checked instead of driving until it went no more?
