The new computer components in the 2001 surely couldn't be all that different from those in earlier model years but that is what I keep reading. The transmission issues are a different matter. I read that city (stop and go) driving may play a part in those reports. No one wants to buy into trouble. They also tell me that the scarcity of dealer service isn't all that critical and Lord knows it had no bearing on my 940 ownership but it didn't have a key that required NASA intervention and $265.00.
I understand that these keys can be created by third party locksmiths etc at a literal fraction of the cost a dealer is demanding. That might be a reasonable solution. If anyone in Brickland knows the ins and outs of this issue, I would appreciate a heads up. Is it fact that all Volvo models after +/- 2000 have these digital intervention. Also that most cars use this same technology in one way or the other?
Thanks guys and Happy Holidays!
