| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 volvo s80 t6 with 61000 miles. within the last two weeks it felt as though the car was "slipping" out of gear on several occasions... the rpms would flair then normalize. yesterday the car just quit moving. it was towed to the volvo dealer and i was just told the transmission is shot and would cost $4000 to replace with a remanufactured one. my problem does not seem to be an isolated incident. i've found that its well known the transmission is a problem and since they tend to fail after 50000 miles, volvo's warranty is expired. now i'm stuck with putting the same worthless transmission back into the vehicle only to expect it to fail again in the future. volvo needs to recall the transmission or extend the warranty to at least 100000 miles. *jb |
