A fellow V70 owner told me her transmission went bad and she now is facing a $4500 dollar overhaul! This car is a 2001, has been dealer serviced since new and the failure occured at 60k miles. The worst part is that the o/h will only come with a 12-month warranty! When asking the service manager at the dealer why this has happened, he just said that since FORD took over quality has deminished!
AMCCO was the same amount with the same warranty.
I write this as my 2001 V70 fuel injected only has had no problems at all.
I flushed the trans myself at 60K and still shifts great.
Anyone else with 2001 trans problems?
