Power Train Problems of Volvo C70

The car developed an electronic communication issue that would cause random failure messages for the abs, anti-skid system, transmission control and a "brake failure" message that would put the car into limp mode even at highway speeds. If you come to a complete stop, it would not allow you to pull away at any speed which makes you a traffic hazard and at risk for a rear end collision. I took the car to the dealer and they said it was the steering module so I had them replace it which ended up not resolving the problem. More alarming, the mechanic said that the factory original windshield had become unbonded and needed resealed. He showed me by flexing the windshield out at the top. I paid a windshield shop to reseal the windshield but I am reporting this since it's bond to the body is integral to keeping occupants from being ejected in the event of a rollover and the owner is unlikely to ever notice the issue.

I brought my 2009 Volvo C70 to the dealer for regular maintenance. The dealer told me that my transmission needed a software update which will cost $450. If the transmission will not operate properly without its software being updated, this sounds more like a manufacturer recall issue than something that should be passed onto the customer.
