Its def. not good. I work for Volvo, at a dealership. They have a problem with mixing between trans fluid and coolant, due to crappy radiators. They have a chemical test and everything for it. The bad news? you have to replace the trans if its found contaminated. If anyone is going to try to save it, its a manufacturer with potentially hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars to lose.

I would get in touch with be cool, and see what they will do. Dont be rude, but be persistent.
