XC60 transmission control unit failure

My 2019 Volvo XC60 hybrid (207114 kilometers) is showing transmission control unit failure symptoms. Paddle shifters are unresponsive, gearbox shifts are unclean with slippage and grinding, and I've noticed a delay. The gearbox has entered emergency mode, and diagnostic scans reveal stored error codes. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? What were your diagnostic and repair experiences? I'm bracing for an expensive repair, potentially around 1000€.

Whoa, sounds rough! I have an XC60 too. I had similar symptoms a while back. No paddle shifter action, and the shifting was all kinds of messed up. Error codes galore! I'd bet money it's the same control unit thing. Did the errors point to the tranny?

The error codes do seem to implicate the transmission control module directly. How did you resolve the issue, and was the repair cost in line with my estimate?

Yep, sounds identical. Honestly, I didn't mess with it myself. Too complex for me. I took it straight to a reputable shop, and they confirmed the bad control unit. Bite the bullet and get it checked out. Transmission issues are never cheap. Good luck!

I appreciate the confirmation that my experience aligns with a known issue. It seems a visit to a trusted workshop is the most prudent course of action. Your input has been invaluable in steeling myself for the inevitable expense. Thank you again for your assistance; I shall proceed accordingly.
