It does happen. It's a lot less common on automatic cars. However, it's not nearly as common as some people make it out to be..and crankwalk can happen on any car. It's fairly common on MKIV Supras with a manual, and I've heard of it happening on big block Chevys.
Here are some stats on the causes of crankwalk..and again, it can happen on any car.
Dirt ........................................45.4%
Misassembly .......................... 12.8%
Misalignment .......................... 12.6%
Insufficient Lubrication..............11.4%
Overloading ............................8.1%
Corrosion ...............................3.7%
Improper Journal Finish ............3.2%
Other ......................................2.8%
