THE ISSUE FIRST STARTED ON MA 3RD, 2019. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO THE BEACH. THE ROAD WAS A LITTLE BUMPY AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND SHUT ITSELF OFF.

MY HUSBAND THOUGHT MAYBE THAT MIGHT BE THE ISSUE. HE LOCATED THE FUSES AND FOUND THAT BOTH OF THEM WERE IN FACT BLOWN. HE REPLACED THEM BOTH WITH BRAND NEW FUZES AND THE CAR STARTED RIGHT NOW..

IT'S A KNOWN FACT THE THE TRANSMISSION FOR MY MODEL YEAR 2007 HAVE A BAD VALVE BODY INSIDE THEM THAT CAN GO OUT AT ANY TIME. VOLVO KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND CHANGED OUT THE TRANSMISSION FOR THERE 2008 MODEL AND DID NOTHING ABOUT THE POIR YEARS. THE COST FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION IS WELL $5000. I JUST BOUGHT MY IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THE TRANSMISSION IS A FACTORY SEALED UNIT AND CAN NOT BE CHECKED. UNLESS YOU TAKE APART THE WHOLE LOWER PART OF THE CAR IN OTTO TAKE OUT THE TRANSMISSION.
