Vehicle started to hesitate when shifting gears. Normally between the lower gears. Volvo said that it is a known issue with this model and the only definite fix would be to replace the transmission at a cost of over $5,000.

Transmission failed. Apparently inherent in the design of transmission such that no one will repair, only replace with reconditioned unit from Volvo. $3500 for the unit itself. Seems ridiculous to me a transmission fails in 59k miles. 
18000 mi vibration during acceleration; right front axle replaced, problem corrected. 
26900 mi
