The transmission and radiator on my 2001 Volvo V70 failed and had to be replaced. I did quite a bit of research on 2001 Volvo V70 and found that many of this particular make and model have transmission failure. In my particular case, the transmission gave me "problems" several months prior to needing to be replaced. I brought the vehicle to the dealership on three separate occasions to have it looked at. Each time the repairs made no difference. On my final attempt to have the problem resolved (after the warranty had expired) I was told the transmission and radiator needed to be replaced. The consumer stated the transmission would hesitate when shifting gears. The consumer stated she is on her 3rd transmission. Updated 08/26/08.

While pulling onto an exit ramp at 45 mph there was an overheating smell in the cabin of the vehicle, followed by the vehicle stalling. Vehicle was towed to an auto repair shop from the exit ramp the following day. The engine severely overheated, the expansion tank and engine cover melted, and the radiator was leaking at the side tank. Radiator looked like it was defective. The entire engine was replaced. Consumer indicated that this failure was related to cooling fan recall 04v451000, but the VIN is not included. . . . . . . . . . . .
