Consumer Description

KNOWN TRANSMISSION DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL HAS MANIFESTED ITSELF IN MY VEHICLE. CAR BEGAN LURCHING WHEN ACCELERATING AND TRANSITIONING INTO THE NEXT GEAR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND STATES THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. APPARENTLY VOLVO HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS DEFECT WITH THE POWER-TRAIN AND IN 2012 AGREED TO SETTLE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WITH REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS FACT HOWEVER ONLY IMPACTS THOSE WHO PREVIOUSLY PAID TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. STILL NO RECALL REGARDING THIS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS ISSUE FOR THOSE CURRENTLY IMPACTED. ALL VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THEIR ORIGINAL TRANSMISSIONS NEED TO BE RECALLED (2003, 2004 AND 2005). *TR
