Consumer Description

MY 2001 VOLVO V70T HAS BEEN LUNGING FORWARD DURING LOW-SPEED DRIVING MANEUVERS AND HAS HAD VEHICLE HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION. THE DEALERSHIP, NALLEY VOLVO IN ATLANTA HAS HAD MY CAR FOR ALMOST A MONTH. VOLVO WAS INVOLVED IN A LAWSUIT WHICH LED TO A RECALL .RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER:06V441000. MY CAR RECEIVED THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE A FEW YEARS AGO BUT MY SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR. VOLVO AND DEALER SHIP SAID UNTIL THEY RECEIVE A HARD CODE THEY WONT DO ANYTHING EXCEPT REPLACE TRANSMISSION OR TRADE IN MY CAR FOR NEW ONE. UPON RESEARCH I FOUND MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE EVEN CAR GOING INTO LIMP MODE AND ALSO HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MY CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR VOLVO TO FIX THIS DEFECT. *TR
