The Automatic Transmission problem

My 2006 Volvo S60 will not shift out of park when the vehicle is cold (after sitting outside overnight at temperatures below 45f). Depending on how cold it is, it takes from 5 to 20 minutes for the vehicle to warm enough that I can shift it into drive.   Read details...

The Automatic Transmission Column Shift problem

My 2006 Volvo S60 gets stuck in park. I properly start the vehicle, apply the brake and attempt to move the shifter out of park and it won't budge. My vehicle is still under warranty and was towed to a dealership where I was told I must have "wasted something sticky in the gear shaft".   Read details...
