Would like to know why the above vehicle is not listed on your recall notification list. Thank you!.

Handbook says transmission never has to be serviced but it is not. Transmission slips going in and out of third gear causing high revs and tire spin. I am a mechanic and the issues are that this transmission has no accessible filter without removing the entire transmission and number 4 servo cap is faulty due to the cap being made of aluminum and washer made of steel.

The vehicle just stops while driving, all of the panel lights come on check engine lights. Had to replace the ocm sensor and the ecm sensor mckivitt Volvo in san leandro (mike) service mgr. Has never mention any type of recalls to the car. They also replaced the fuel injection at my cost. Had to get a smog in Aug 2013, check engine light has come back on not allowing me to smog with out repairs to oxygen sensors, during this visit my control arms were noticlby broken, they said nothing. I found out when I got the car back after them changing the oxygen sensors to pass smog and I got the smog and a oil change they notified me, I had them replaced by a cheaper mech in April 2014 @ 75,000 miles. Now it's August 2014 and I was driving down very steep hill@ 45mph and the car just shut off causing limp mode and me hitting a curb to stop. Towed back to dealership@ 84,601 miles and being told it's normal, clean or replace the etm sensor now charging me $2,000. I have never received recall. I'm lost now without a vehicle. Isnt Volvo supposed to fix this issue or do we have to die and then years later you guys at Volvo corporation figure there was a malfunction. . Please let me know what to do??? all this service manager wants is money and doesn't care about anyone's safety. I was laughed at today being told that OH you've only travel 25,000 mi and I've seen you 4 times since then, it's not a Honda and you really have to put some muscle into it when it does this limp mode. I was scared to death along with my family and was laughed at in my face with a smile telling me he'll call and tell me how much$$$.
