Transmission/radiator failure. Coolants mixing with each other and causing transmission to slip in and out of gear at lower speeds. Dealer says $5000.00 To repair/replace both tranny and radiator. I had taken my 2003 volvo c-70 convertible in 6 months prior complaining of a low whirring noise which they could not detect or would not detect.
