Does the 2022 Ford Focus automatic still have gearbox issues?

I am contemplating buying a 2022 Ford Focus with an auto gearbox. Have Ford sorted the earlier auto box problems?

The current generation Focus introduced in late 2021 uses a different design of dual-clutch transmission from another supplier, rather than the Powershift design that has previously suffered some reliability issues, so we would have few qualms about its reliabilty.
