Consumer Description

VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEAR AND "BANGS" INTO GEAR FROM SECOND TO FIRST GEAR. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO VOLVO DEALERSHIP AND HAD A SOFTWARE UPDATE. A MECHANIC TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AFTERWARDS AND WE WERE TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MILEAGE WAS 132,00. VISITED A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE HAD SERVICED SEVERAL VOLVO S60 AND V70 MODELS OF THE 2001~2002 MODEL YEAR AND HAD FOUND THAT SEVERAL HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ONLY A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE CHECKED MANY VOLVO FORUMS AND CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW MANY STORIES THERE ARE OF THESE CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. VOLVO...THIS IS A LEGITIMATE PROBLEM. *TR
