First, sorry to hear about what sounds like a string of repairs.
I don't know what your service guy has seen, but I do not recall reports of radiators or transmissions failing, at least not on this BB.
As far as the radiator goes, as long as you flushed your coolant at 60k you should be fine here. And as for the transmissions, IIRC the autobox is the same manufacturer as many Japanese brands. The manual is not what I'd call smooth, but it generally holds up well.
I would not worry too much about these items. Hope this helps.
