Vehicle lunges forward from second to third gear and "bangs" into gear from second to first gear. Took the vehicle to Volvo dealership and had a software update. A mechanic test drove the vehicle afterwards and we were told the transmission needed to be replaced. Mileage was 132,00. Visited a local mechanic and he said he had serviced several Volvo s60 and V70 models of the 2001~2002 model year and had found that several had experienced the same problem with only a transmission replacement to resolve the issue. I have checked many Volvo forums and can not believe how many stories there are of these cars with the same problem. Volvo. . . This is a legitimate problem.
My transmission is jerking between reverse and drive. The car hesitates and then slams forward. I have read all over the internet where other people have had the same problem.
Volvo reluctantly released us from our lease a couple of months ago. Our first Volvo experienced electrical and transmission problems. They put us in another Volvo which experienced transmission problems as well. After repeated attempts on Volvo of dallas' part to repair our car they finally replaced the transmission however the new transmission was not performing properly either when Volvo released us from the lease. The dealership, area/regional directors, and Volvo corporation practiced poor business etiquette on all accounts in our opinion. They did release us from our lease however, refused to reimburse us for our initial $5000. 00 down payment. Our entire Volvo experience disgusted us so that we chose not to endure the lengthly process of a law suit. We just wanted to drive a safe, dependable, reliable vehicle that fit our families needs. Too much to ask from Volvo! it is a shame because when we got into our Volvo we planned on being Volvo customers "for life. " good luck.
