2007 S60R issues or normal?

Post by prienzo »

Hey guys, last week I bought a 2007 S60R and here's what I have noticed so far.

When I'm braking or simply allowing the car to just coast at a low speed, the car will noticeably downshift. I wouldn't call it violent, but I've never actually felt this in other cars I've owned so I wanted to see if it was normal.

Second, I have a couple of questions about the Certified Pre-Owned program. My car wasn't originally certified, but the dealer made it so for $1500. Is this a normal procedure? Also, shouldn't I have received a signed copy of the inspection form?

My last issue is that the tires rub the wheel wells, which I have come to understand is a common problem. I will bring this into the dealer to see what my options are. However, shouldn't this not have made it past CPO inspection?

Thanks in advance for the help.

The TF 80 Sc trans is sensitive to trans fluid quality but does have programming to work as a self downshifting manual when driving aggressivly or in the transmissions sport mode.
