Engine Cooling System Problems of Volvo C70

I purchased a 2001 Volvo C70 convertible used with ~ 73,000 miles in 2006. It now has 93,000 miles. Last summer I had to replace the radiator because it cracked. On the evening of Tuesday, December 22 while returning home on the beltway, I began to smell something and an up arrow indicating I should shift gear lit on the dashboard panel. I learned two days later, I needed to replace the transmission. Now I understand there is a fuel pump recall. This seems like a lot of major repair work in a fairly young vehicle with so few miles, and regular oil changes at every 3,000 miles and annual checkups.

Transmission/radiator failure. Coolants mixing with each other and causing transmission to slip in and out of gear at lower speeds. Dealer says $5000. 00 to repair/replace both tranny and radiator. I had taken my 2003 Volvo c-70 convertible in 6 months prior complaining of a low whirring noise which they could not detect or would not detect. I asked about warranty/or secret warranty and they said there were none and that Volvo wouldn't pay for repair, they also stated that this has been happening quite a bit. Consumers are footing the bill for this manufacture defect.
