Remove..."Cheryl Miller who had been on medical leave for some months resigned her position as CEO for AutoNation due to undisclosed medical reasons in July 2020.[21] She was still liable for bonuses and stock for the work she had done and in addition she received a leaving settlement of $5.4m. Under the terms she was not allowed to work in competition to the company for a year.[22]"

Personal in nature and minor changes in personnel no encyclopedic. No set up or establishment of a "germane" history within the article in and of itself. A loose end with incorrect grammar. 207.255.91.54 (talk) 14:28, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I trimmed a lot of it it, and added her replacement. I think that should do it. I have to say that changing CEOs is not a "minor change in personnel." ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:37, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Last Sentence in Section 2009 to Present Reads... '''Cheryl Miller resigned her position as CEO for AutoNation in July 2020. She was replaced by Mike Jackson, who will fill the role until April 2022'''

In the Above sentence Change "Mike Jackson, who will fill the role" To "Mike Jackson who was to" fill the role.

Then add the following sentence below....

The last sentence should be .....'In November 2021, Mike Jackson retired from his 20 years service to AutoNation and was replaced by Mike Manley, previous CEO of Stellantis Corp.

Need to "clean up the following poorly worded paragraph.

''Cheryl Miller resigned her position as CEO for AutoNation in July 2020. She was replaced by Mike Jackson, who was to will fill the role until April 2022.[24] In November 2021, Mike Jackson retired from his 20 years service to AutoNation and was replaced by Mike Manley, previous CEO of Stellantis Corp.[25]''

Please change to ...below

'''Consequently, Ms. Cheryl Miller (a newly appointed Chief Executive Officer) resigned her position as CEO of AutoNation in July 2020 when she was replaced by Mike Jackson, the current Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Jackson was then to fill the office until April 2022 or until a new Chief Executive Officer could be found.[24]

After an interim period, Mr. Jackson retired from his 20 years service on November 1st, 2021 when he was replaced by Mr. Mike Manley, a previous CEO of Stellantis Corp.[25] '''

Please remove the word "will" in the following sentence below.....adverb and verb side by side causing a duplication error in grammer.

Cheryl Miller resigned her position as CEO for AutoNation in July 2020. She was replaced by Mike Jackson, who was to will fill the role until April 2022.

Should read

'''Cheryl Miller resigned her position as CEO for AutoNation in July 2020. She was replaced by Mike Jackson, who was to fill the role until April 2022.'''
