1. Auto trans failed with grinding/slippage. At my expense a rebuilt volvo trans installed in 2-99. About 6000 miles later again failure with slippage. Another rebuilt trans was installed...so far it's good. 2. A/C compressor/condenser have both failed . Repaired at my expense. 3. Radio failed to get FM at about 40k miles. Replaced at my expense. Are there any technical bullitens regarding these issues? Especially the expensive trans problems? Please advise me of any . Thank you
Failed transmission after 45,000 miles. Extended warranty replaced it. Failed control switch for air conditioning A/C and evaporator unit at 135,000.
