2000 Volvo S80 Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Own a 2000 Volvo S80, I began to experience an uneven idling when driving either low or high speed, whether on cruise control or not. The car idle goes out of control, it feels as if the car goes on limp mode, I'm then compelled to accelerate to compensate and regain speed. I had the car checked, had the vehicle speed sensor replaced, complete tune up, but the problem remains. I did my research on the web only to find out that this problem is part of a recall from Volvo. …”

“Driving along down an interstate I hit the gas to drive around a car when my transmission came out of gear and the service engine light came on I lost all power to the wheels and was almost rear ended I had no power to make it to the side of the road it is kicking back in but I can not drive above 20 MPH or above 3000 RPM or it will slip out and red line also my engine mount has broken for the second time when it slipped out my s 80 t6 is becoming a paper weight.”

“My 2000 S80 t6 stalls in traffic and loses power while driving. Whenever I stop at a traffic light, I'll have to step harder on the accelerator in order to avoid the vehicle behind me from hitting my car.sometimes it jerks so bad I feel that engine may fall off.there's no engine light on or anything. I have called Volvo and was told the problem is etm but has been replaced on my car according to their records. I have taken the car to the dealership and had different components tested out and fixed but that did not solve the problem.”

“2000 Volvo S80. Transmission failure with only 109,000 miles. I have always done the required maintenance and service on the vehicle, which included a transmission flush in 2003. I had no prior warnings, no slipping, nothing. The transmission fluid is clean, at the level it is supposed to be at, no leaks, and no warning check engine or transmission lights came on. My mechanic said that due to the sudden failure with no warning, it is most likely something internal that just broke and that I have to get a new transmission.”

“I have a 2000 Volvo S80 with less than 40k miles and the transmission has gone out. Out of warranty... So I'm out $1,500 for repairs! The local Volvo dealer wanted $4,000 for a new transmission.”
