Perhaps it is just a coincidence, but just after I put on my VolvoXC.com sticker, I got a warning light and text msg stating "Reduced Function" for the trans.  The autostick no longer works.  I was also unable to unlock the tailgate, but this seems to have gone away.

Car has 812 miles on it.

I love the car and may even consider an R wagon for myself next time!

My only other gripes are:
High stall speed on the torque converter.  You have to really goose the pedal to get her moving.  This is the way most Euro cars are, but I am used to better response.

The quick response comes in the brakes, which tend to be too touchy.

Hope to get the car in this week.  Will update you on the fix.

The problem was described as a "faulty Geartronic module".  It was replaced, a we are back in business.

The service tech said there was no contributing problem related to the VolvoXC.com sticker!
