Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2005 XC90 V8 AWD WITH 65000, AFTER A MONTH OR SO I NOTICED HARD SHIFTING, YESTERDAY WE TOOK A TRIP UP THE MOUNTAIN AND I ACTUALLY LOST MY TRANSMISSION FOR A MIN, IT SLIPPED OUT OF PLACE WHILE PASSING A VEHICHLE, RPM SHOT UP TO 5-6K, IT KICKED BACK IN AGAIN ONCE WE SLOWED AND WE PULLED TO THE SIDE TO MAKE SURE IT WOULD STAY IN GEAR BEFORE GOING AGAIN. NOW IT HAS GONE BACK TO HARD SHIFTING OCCASIONALLY. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE AND FOUND LOTS OF REPORTS OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS. CONTACTING VOLVO HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL AT ALL THEY WANT 7K FOR A NEW CRAPPY BUILT TRANSMISSION. NEW VEH 45K AND NEW TRANSMISSION EVERY 50K MI, WHAT A DEAL THIS CAR IS. I DONT WANT TO WAIT TILL ME OR MY FAMILY IS HURT OR KILLED TO REPORT IT.
