| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 volvo v70 awd station wagon. the transmission failed while i was driving with my 2 small children in the car. as i was lurching along cars were passing me at 55+ miles per hour, my family and i were placed in a dangerous situation and our safety was jeopardized. luckily i was able to pull off to the side of the road before i was rear ended or hit by another vehicle. i took my volvo to the local volvo dealer 2 previous times regarding my transmission slipping and the car lurching, both times i was told that a transmission problem could not be detected. ?? this last time they had to acknowledge a problem exists because the transmission went out. i only have 71,000 miles on the car and i now have to pay $4,000 dollars for a new transmission. my service writer said he contacted volvo north america and they would do nothing to help with the repair costs. my car is undriveable and has been in the service shop while we wait for the transmission repair to be completed. i have done some research and this problem seems to be pervasive in this model vehicle. volvo north america needs to acknowledge this problem exists and help to repair these vehicles, that jeopardize their customers safety. *tr |
