Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 45 of 45, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Transmission failed at highway speed. Repair facility unable to obtain new parts for rebuild and remanufactured order through volvo at some owner expense above warranty (mileone elite: www.mileone.com) allowance. Repair facility visually described failure as a hard part failure (tech said it looked as though it "exploded" due to excess pressure from the valve body). The car was repaired and returned to the owner over 4 weeks later. Delay was caused by warranty company unable to delivering the correct used transmission (3x). Owner expense was incurred when decision was made to purchase a remanfactured transmission.
Vehicle was purchased in 07/01. Consumer advised while driving, noticed vehicle would intermittently lose traction on dry pavement. Once inclement weather arrived(I.e. Rain, light snow), noticed traction control turns on/off erratically causing wheels to slide, especially when vehicle is on a slight to major incline. When on an incline, consumer has to let vehicle slide backward to more level ground before it will accelerate. Vehicle has been checked by dealer who has been unable to duplicate or determine cause. Consumer is concerned that dealer did not attempt to duplicate problem in "like" conditions I.e. Rain or light snow on an incline. Ts
Vehicle was parked inside a parking lot. Vehicle was in drive and driver removed key from ignition. When she returned to pick her car up, vehicle had rolled down the hill, and hit a parked vehicle. Dealership was aware of problem.*ak
Clutch problem: 5 speed manual transmission. Clutch sticks after pressing it in, when it comes back up. This happens when temperature is cold. Dealer checked out 4 times, could not reproduce problem. Independent mechanic found problem at once and states that clutch bearing needs lubricated otherwise will wear prematurely. Dealer refuses to do this. Light problem: problem exactly the same as 99-00 recall the federal safety agency campaign id: 00v405000. Year 2001 should get included in recall. Dealer "fixed" problem once by "cleaning the socket" problem reoccured. Required recall fix is to replace bulb and socket and not "clean socket".
