Purchased a certified preowned V70 16000 miles. Shortly after purchase I've experienced intermittent ,several second high engine rev when automatic shifts from 1st gear to 2nd gear. Dealer cannot find anything wrong.

Vehicle was purchased in 07/01. Consumer advised while driving, noticed vehicle would intermittently lose traction on dry pavement. Once inclement weather arrived(I. E. Rain, light snow), noticed traction control turns on/off erratically causing wheels to slide, especially when vehicle is on a slight to major incline. When on an incline, consumer has to let vehicle slide backward to more level ground before it will accelerate. Vehicle has been checked by dealer who has been unable to duplicate or determine cause. Consumer is concerned that dealer did not attempt to duplicate problem in "like" conditions I. E. Rain or light snow on an incline. Ts.

Our 2001 xc 70 Volvo has had a stalling problem that repeats periodically but that the dealer can't replicate. It began with a surging and the transmission shifting erratically. This was fixed with a software download but stalling continued. It is random occurring when we accelerate at intersections as we turn or begin. It is quite anxiety provoking since it could happen when we are turning and if a car was coming it could strike us and cause a serious accident. It is now off warranty but on extended warranty and when the dealer is contacted they do not know what to do. Recently, the local service rep for Volvo here in fairbanks, alaska replaced a turbo link valve. It was replace only today so we do not know if it will continue to have a problem. It happens about once a month.

The car lost power occasionally when shifting between first and second gears. It would not accelerate, but it revved to over 6,000 rpms. The car would pull back and then lunge into gear. It had a whiplash effect on the driver and passengers. After 18 visits to the dealer and probably as many calls to Volvo of n. America, I found another dealer. They replaced the valve body last year and it hasn't happened since. I can't answer the next question because it happened several times a week for 3 years.
