As I went on Facebook and invited Doug Speck, the President of Volvo North America to become my friend, I noticed he only has 24 friends. One of my FB friends suggested I offer him a trade: I could help him get more friends (I already have 127 after little over 1 week) in return for him pulling some strings to get my car fixed. I think that sounds reasonable. Therefore, I would love for all of you to send a Friend Request to Doug Speck on Facebook, and let him know Freya Svensson sent you.

Just wanted to point out, it looks like Mr. Speck is mysteriously lacking a Facebook page at the moment. I wonder why that would be?! 😛
I have a 2005 xc 70 volvo with the same faulty transmission and I have replaced my motor mounts at least 3 times in the last 2 years. The transmssion was first repaired in Aug. After two weeks it was back in the shop It has now been in the shop for 3 weeks. I don’t know when I will get it back or if it will ever work right again. I would trade it in but I’m told since the car has 104,000 miles on it, it is not worth anything in trade. I still have payments on the car till next July. This is my third Volvo and my last!
Georgette, Did you buy and take your car to Rusnak Volvo in Pasadena as well? If not, from whom did you buy your car, and where did you take it for service?
