168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed manual FWD
| 127000 mi | after the repair the car drove normally for 3 days and then would not go into any gear(its a manual transmission) had it towed back to the dealer who said it was the transmission that would have to be replaced for $7000. After recovering from the shock and researching what was going on I insisted that they show me how the transmission was broken and not just unconnected which my research said was a possibility. The dealer mechanic insisted it was the transmission and suggested I junk the car. I did not believe that the car was dead and so had it towed to an independent shop where they were able to reseat the disconnected drive axel. The car drove for a day and then the drive axel fell out again. In frustration, I posted on some Volvo aficionado sites and got the suggestion that the axel was not seated properly or that it was the wrong part. So I checked the part number on the dealer invoice and sure enough, they had used the wrong axel for my model car. When I told them this was a possibility they checked it out and they towed the car in and put in the right axel at no extra charge. |
