BEGAN EXPERIENCING WHAT I NOW REALIZE MANY, MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH LURCHING, REVVING HIGH AND JERKING FORWARD, AND MISSING IN DRIVE (WITH TRANSMISSION). VOLVO HAS TOLD MANY THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM...AT ALL. I HOPE THIS WILL BE INVESTIGATED SO THAT A RECALL CAN BE ISSUED THAT WILL FIX THE PARTS/MECHANICS OF THIS RECURRENT PROBLEM, AND NOT WITH BOGUS SOFTWARE UPDATES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 VOLVO V70XC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 15 MPH AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, HE NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD REV, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER PULLING INTO A GARAGE AND THEN TRYING TO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT HE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 130,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS INTO LOWER GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN A CORNER AND THEN PUTTING FOOT ON ACCELERATOR. VOLVO DEALER RECOMMENDS HAVING BODY REPLACED AT A COST OF @2200 AND IT MIGHT NOT BE THE CURE. ALSO, IN JUNE 2001 AT 86,488 I HAD TO HAVE THE LEFT FRONT STRUT MOUNT, SWAY BAR LINKS AND ENGINE TORQUE ROD MOUNT REPLACED. UPDATED 03/10/11 *BF

MY VOLVO XC70 2002 HAS CHRONIC TRANSMISSION ISSUES WHICH STARTED AT 70K MILES. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR LOSES POWER, OR SOMETIMES DOES THIS AT A STOP LIGHT AND LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. IT HESITATES AND JERKS. I AM READING THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CARS. *TR

2002 VOLVO V70 XC TRANSMISSION. THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE AFTER ONLY 105,000 MILES MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. VOLVO DEALER SHIP SAID THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER UPGRADE, BUT IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM OF ERRATIC SHIFTING AND JUMPING SHIFTING. *TR

I RECENTLY HAD MY 2002 VOLVO XC70 LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC. AMONG OTHER THINGS, HE SAID THAT WITH NEARLY 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR, IT WAS DUE FOR FRESH TRANSMISSION FLUID. I DRAINED ABOUT A GALLON OF FLUID FROM THE TRANS, WENT TO THE DEALER AND BOUGHT FOUR LITERS OF VOLVO APPROVED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND PUT IT IN THE TRANSMISSION. NOW THE CAR WON'T SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR. I DID A COUPLE OF SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET AND APPARENTLY THIS HAPPENS FAIRLY FREQUENTLY AND THE ONLY FIX IS TO TEAR THE TRANSMISSION APART. IT'S JUST '!@#$% FRUSTRATING. *TR
