My experiences are very much like yours. Too many to get specific as I have experienced this not only my 2002 but also my 2001 V70 which they traded me out of due to these problems. They are not nearly as cooperative this time around because I am no longer willing to be placed into yet another Volvo! I recently retrieved my Volvo from it's last 2wk. visit to the dealership at which point they told me that there is a campaign out on the T5 and S80 models about the transmission "slipping." They supposedly downloaded some upgrades onto my car's computer however I am STILL experiencing the problem!!!! Same story with the 2001. More feedback from anyone regarding this will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
