| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 volvo v70 xc wagon. the car was revving high for a while when shifting gears, i took it to the dealership, and they told me there wasn't a problem. about a month or so later the etm failed. i was being left stranded at freeway off ramps, and green lights when the car would suddenly die. it's a miracle i wasn't rear-ended! after a terrible experience trying to get the dealership to honor the etm warranty, (they only cleaned the etm they did not replace it-saying it wasn't bad enough!), a month has passed and now my transmission has failed! the dealership gave me a $5300 estimate for replacement as it is unrepairable! i took it to our regular mechanic, and he told me the transmission failure @ 70,000 miles happened because the etm wouldn't allow the torque converter do whatever it is a torque converter does, and that caused the oil to heat up and then the resulting transmission failure. he said there is no one around who will touch my transmission. i have to use a dealer to replace it. i am completely devastated and cannot afford to replace the transmission. the car is a lemon. it has almost caused me to be involved in accidents, and i'd really appreciate it if someone could contact me about what resources i have. you are welcome to test my car! i have read on the internet about others who are experiencing the same problems with their etms and then subsequent transmission failures. please help!*jb |
