"I am very disapointed in my illusion of Volvo.."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

50K, Transmission fell out on the 101 Freeway threatening the safety of my life, after purchasing the car from a private party and mechanics approval.

Front rotors replaced, brake pads replaced.

Cruise control does not work.

Back rotors shimmer when braking and have very fine low hum after a few hours of driving.

General comments?

I have recently purchased a S70 Volvo T-5 after searching to get this car for over three years. I was very excited and looking forward to the enhanced reliability, safety and performance of a Volvo. Most of all I was interested in purchasing a car that would not breakdown.

Well it broke down on the 101 in nasty traffic causing a major problems and dangerous situation.

I do not like this car, and will never buy a Volvo again...

After reading your review I was mildly amused. What where you doing when the transmission just "fell" out?!?! Most transmissions are held in by about 3 different transmission mounts, not including the mounting of the bell housing to the motor. when you comment on a car and say the transmission fell out, please explain what you where doing to your car to "enhance" the probability of a magical transmission.
