Consumer Description

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ISSUE. AT APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES, SHIFTING BETWEEN GEAR 2 TO 3 AND 3 TO 4 IS ACCOMPANIED BY HIGH RPMS INTO NEUTRAL BEFORE ENGAGING GEAR. RESULTS IN A HARD SHIFT WHEN GEAR ENGAGES. INITIAL DEALER SOLUTION WAS SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS. WHEN PROBLEM PERSISTED AND A "TRANSMISSION SERVICE REQUIRED" MESSAGE BEGAN DISPLAYING, THE DEALER SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $7500 WITH NO EXPLANATION OF WHAT THE ACTUAL UNDERLYING PROBLEM IS. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IN THE NHTSA DATABASE AND OTHER WEB-BASED VOLVO FORUMS. *TR
