HANDBOOK SAYS TRANSMISSION NEVER HAS TO BE SERVICED BUT IT IS NOT. TRANSMISSION SLIPS GOING IN AND OUT OF THIRD GEAR CAUSING HIGH REVS AND TIRE SPIN. I AM A MECHANIC AND THE ISSUES ARE THAT THIS TRANSMISSION HAS NO ACCESSIBLE FILTER WITHOUT REMOVING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND NUMBER 4 SERVO CAP IS FAULTY DUE TO THE CAP BEING MADE OF ALUMINUM AND WASHER MADE OF STEEL.

MY CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE COMPUTER TURNS OFF MY A/C FOR NO REASON WHEN I TURN ON THE A/C IT HAPPENS WHEN IT IS VERY HOT OUTSIDE. I HAVE HAD TO MAKE NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SOFTWARE UPDATED WHICH DID NOT COST ANYTHING. WHEN THE CCM FIRST STARTED DOING THIS VOLVO THOUGHT IT WAS MY A/C COMPRESSOR AND I SPENT $1,200 ON A NEW A/C COMPRESSOR HOPING THAT WOULD FIX MY PROBLEM. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE RESULT IS I GET VERY HOT IN MY CAR WHEN IT TURNS OFF WHILE IM DRIVING AND I HAVE TO KEEP FIDDLING WITH IT WHILE DRIVING TO MAKE IT STAY ON. *TT

THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE IT AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. HOWEVER, NO CODES ARE COMING UP. THEY SEE NO ISSUE WITH THE CAR. *TT

I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THEN PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF ENGINE. CAR STARTED BACK UP AND DROVE WITHOUT INCIDENT. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS.

NO WARNING INDICATORS WERE LIT. PUT CAR INTO PARK AND IT STARTED WITHOUT INCIDENT. TOOK CAR TO DEALER ON MARCH 25, 2011. THE DEALER SAID NO CODES CAME UP AND THEY WERE HAVING TROUBLE DIAGNOSING THE FAILURE. AFTER 4 DAYS THEY CALLED TO TELL ME IT COULD...

TWO MALFUNCTIONS EXIST WITH THE 2002 VOLVO S60. THE FIRST ONE IS A FAULTY DRIVER'S INFORMATION MODULE DEFECT THAT CAUSES A TOTAL MALFUNCTION OF THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. SPECIFICALLY, THE DASHBOARD GOES COMPLETELY BLANK WHILE DRIVING AND ALL OF THE GAUGES BECOME INOPERABLE, INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER. THEREFORE, PREVENTING THE DRIVER FROM BEING ABLE TO CONTROL OR MONITOR THE VEHICLE'S SPEED. THE SECOND MALFUNCTION IS THE FRONT AND REAR HEATED 02 OXYGEN SENSORS. THESE MANUFACTURE DEFECTS HAVE A POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER'S INFORMATION MODULE AND THE 02 SENSORS WERE MANDATORY COMPONENTS THAT WERE REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED AS OPPOSED TO REPAIRED.
