I have a 1991 245 SE. This winter, The gear shift lock doesn't release when it is cold. I start the engine, apply the brake to release the shifter lock to take it out of park and the release button on top of the shifter does not go down right away. It either eventually works or I reach in and use the emergency release ( which I don't want to resort to every time, I want to fix this). After it has been sitting all day at work it works fine, only in the morning it doesn't (sitting all evening it cools down sufficiently). Is this a relay issue or a lubrication issue?

Is there truth to the belief that the newer Volvos aren't as good since they have been bought by Ford? If so what is the year model not to buy after?
