Automatic gearbox problems with Vauxhall Corsa - is his a common fault?

My mum owns a 2008 Vauxhall Corsa since new, but has had nothing but trouble with the automatic gearbox. It has been recalled and had its gearbox replaced and fixed many times and it seems unfair that she has to pay out each time. Is this a common fault?

Presume this is an Easytronic. They are no more than automated manuals with an electric motor and an actuator performing changes with a standard manual box. Problems are common.
