96 850T transmission? 850 1996

Are automatic transmissions known to be weak in 96 850s? My mother's car refused to shift up. It happened on the first really cold day of the season. She said it drove fine on the way into work. She had it towed to the local dealer and they said that the transmission went out. They said that they don't rebuild transmissions and that it would cost $3000 to replace. The car has 59K miles on it and was running perfectly the last time I drove it. They had it serviced (60K mile service) about two months ago before taking it to Florida for a week.

Is any of this making sense to anybody? I'm thinking that the car only has 60K miles on it and if the transmission went out, then Volvo should eat the cost. I have a 240 in my driveway with 175K miles on the original transmission. I'm also thinking that it went out not very long after a major check-up at the same dealer. And they don't rebuild transmissions? What's wrong with this picture?!
