Transmission totally failed. Turns out that the transmission for that year was extremely rare and expensive. Ended up scrapping the entire car. Very expensive luxury class car, however, many things failed. Auto dim rear view mirror failed, window regulator failed, regular check engine light failures, resulting in loss of cruise control. Car was a disaster. Will NEVER buy another Volvo product. Very over-hyped.
