Consumer Description

THERE IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS 2001 VOLVO V70 XC AWD TRANSMISSION AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. VOLVO AND THE NHTSA BOTH KNOW ABOUT THIS ONGOING PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISTION SLIPS BAD AND STOPS WORKING AND LOSES POWER AND THE DEALERS STATES THE COMPUTER UPDATES WILL FIX THE PROBLEM AS EVEN TOLD BYE THE DEALER ITS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT VOLVO REFUSES TO RECTIFY UNFORTUNATELY. BUT THIS IS A SAFTY ISSUE AT THIS POINT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY NOTHING IS BEING DONE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS ? I WANT A REBUILT OR NEW SAFE TRANSMISSION INSTALLED AT THE COST OF VOLVO FOR NOT FIXING THE ONGOING PROBLEMS THEY KNEW ABOUT BACK IN 2001 AND THERE COMPLETE WRONG MAINTENANCE ON THE TRANSMISSION STATING NOT TO CHANGE THE FLUID UNTIL 90K. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA HAS MANY COMPLAINTS IN REFRANCE TO THIS SAME ISSUE WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ?
