mechanic said the front axle left snapped. Parts and labor estimate is $300. Whew! I hope that does the trick. Total cost will be about $500 after the cost of the late night tow. Still better than a transmission failure.

Hi, I'm having the same problem with a 2002 Volvo s60 FWD base model. I was wondering if your replacement described below continued to work without a software load from the dealer.
