68000 mi Brought car in a year ago under warranty, they said no problem. Came back now with same symptoms, say I need a new transmission @65,000 miles! No paperwork at the shop for investigating a year ago. Looking into my options. 
69000 mi After the DEM, sensor, airconditioning (had to send back twice), the transmission needed to be replaced. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. VOLVO will only give 1 year warranty.
