Consumer Description

IN 2008, AT ABOUT 93K MILES, THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2001 VOLVO S60 FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN THOROUGHFARE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO AVOID BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAD A VOLVO DEALER INSTALL A NEW VOLVO TRANSMISSION. IN 2014, AT ABOUT 123K MILES (OR ABOUT 30K MILES ON THE NEW TRANSMISSION), THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL STREET. AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. A SEARCH OF THE NHTSA DATABASE AND OTHER ONLINE SOURCES SHOWED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS EARLY TRANSMISSION FAILURES WITH VOLVOS LIKE MINE. VOLVO OF NORTH AMERICA REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP FIX THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION DESPITE INFORMATION THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION THEY HAVE BEEN USING. *TR
