ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VOLVO KNOWS THE V8 ENGINE ON THE 2005 XC90 IS FAULTY. SPECIFICALLY, THE COUNTERBALANCE SHAFT BEARING FAILING DUE TO WATER INTRUSION. FORTUNATELY MINE FAILED WHILE AT IDLE. UNFORTUNATELY THE ENTIRE ENGINE IS NOW SEIZED UP AND MY OTHERWISE CLEAN CAR IS A LARGE AND USELESS PAPERWEIGHT. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING AT SPEED, IT COULD CAUSE A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. UNLESS VOLVO ACTIVELY FINDS THE REMAINING ENGINES IN SERVICE AND FIXES THIS PROBLEM, IT REMAINS A RISK REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE. APPROPRIATELY, THEY SHOULD ALSO REIMBURSE ANYONE WHO WAS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM SINCE THEY LEARNED OF IT BACK IN 2005. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LEFT HEADLIGHT WILL SUDDENLY GO OUT, SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AND OTHER TIMES THE HEADLIGHT WILL NOT LIGHT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. AT TIMES IT REMAINED OFF FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL BE FOR DAYS. I'D TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, BUT EACH TIME I DID, THE LEFT HEADLAMP WAS AGAIN WORKING. I'D ALSO REPLACED THE HEADLAMP IN QUESTION, BUT STILL THE HEADLAMP WORKED ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. I JUST RETURNED FROM MY 4TH VISIT TO THE DEALER, AT WHICH TIME THEY REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT LIGHT BALLAST ($440.00). THE HEADLAMP IS CURRENTLY WORKING. MY WIFE HAS BEEN RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, FOR FEAR THAT BOTH HEADLAMPS WOULD GO OUT. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE, I'M FINDING THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH 2004 AND 2005 VOLVO XC-90'S. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NHTSA HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VOLVO XC-90 AND A RECALL IS BEING CONSIDERED. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE PRIMARILY DUE TO IT'S 5-STAR SAFETY RATING, BUT WE ARE NOT CONVINCED THAT VOLVO HAS ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN, THE CAR MADE A KNOCKING NOISE AND DRIVER CONSOLE/DASH STOPPED WORKING. THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, AND ALL GAUGES WENT TO "ZERO." I NO LONGER HAD TURN SIGNALS EITHER. I FEARED FOR OUR LIVES. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH, AND HAVE FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE WITH 2004 XC90S. *TR

STEERING
DURING ROUTINE XC-90 MAINTENANCE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIE ROD END HAD FAILED. NO INDICATION DURING NORMAL DRIVING OR ANY VISIBLE INDICATIONS, I.E. ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR WAS APPARENT. VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT OR HIT ANY ABNORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, I.E. POT HOLES, CURBS, RAILROAD CROSSINGS ETC. WERE ENCOUNTERED IN WHICH TO CAUSE THE TIE ROD TO FAIL. TIE ROD END WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $250.00 INCLUDING 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65 AND 70 MILES ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE MY 2004 VOLVO XC 90 HAS A SEVERE "THUMP" IN THE FRONT END, WHICH IS THEN FOLLOWED BY A VERY BRIEF (SPLIT SECOND) INTERNAL (MEANING ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS, HI-FI, DOME LIGHTS, RADIO AIR CONDITION, OIL GAGE, FUEL GAGE CLOCK ) POWER FAILURE. WHILE TRYING TO PUSH THE GAS THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AT FIRST I HIT SOMETHING ON THE HIGHWAY. A MINUTE OR TWO LATER THE "THUMP" WAS HARDER AND THE LIGHTS INTERNALLY COMPLETELY WENT OUT, HAZARD LIGHTS COULD NOT BE TURNED ON, BLINKERS COULD NOT BE SWITCHED ON, HI-FI WENT OUT, THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT WORK, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT CUT ON OR THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED 10 MINUTES AND RESTARTED IT. THERE WERE 3 MESSAGES ON THE DASH, THE YELLOW EXCLAMATION POINT DASHBOARD ICON/ALERT LIT UP, A SERVICE MESSAGE FLASHED REFERRING TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FAILURE, THE SRS NEEDED TO BE CHECKED, AND CHECK ENGINE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A VOLVO DEALERSHIP, THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY ASSURED ME THAT THE CAR WAS OK TO DRIVE. FOUR DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM STARTS AGAIN. SO AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THE VOLVO XC 90 AND THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS SAME ISSUE IN NOVEMBER 2010 IN WHICH VOLVO IS FULLY AWARE OF AND "ACKNOWLEDGES A PROBLEM AFFECTING SOME SUBJECT VEHICLES INVOLVING WATER SEEPAGE INTO THE PLENUM BOX AREA IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WHEN THIS OCCURS WATER MAY ENTER INTO THE INTERIOR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND TRACK ALONG THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE CENTRAL ELECTRONIC MODULE, THE DEVICE THAT CONTROLS MANY OF THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS INCLUDING WIPER OPERATION, LIGHTING, AND TRANSMISSION OPERATION. IF THE WATER REACHES THE CENTRAL ELECTRONIC MODULE CONNECTOR ELECTRICAL FAULTS MAY RESULT." THIS IS A $1200.00 REPAIR WHICH VOLVO SHOULD PAY. *TR

THERE WERE SEVERAL POSTS WITH IDENTICAL ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL, YEAR AND V8 ENGINE. APPARENTLY, ONGOING ISSUE WITH COUNTER BALANCE SHAFT BEARING. DESIGN FLAW ALLOWS RUST TO OCCUR AT BEARING AND THEN THEN CB-SHAFT FAILS. WILL CAUSE INCREDIBLE DAMAGE TO ENGINE - MAYBE EVEN DEATH IF OCCURS AT HIGH SPEEDS. CALLED DEALER THIS MORNING, THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH ISSUE, WANTED ME TO DRIVE IN OR TOW. COST IS PROHIBITIVE AND BASED ON LEGIONS OF SIMILAR CONSUMER REPORTS, AM ALREADY CERTAIN OF DIAGNOSIS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
THE SUNROOF DRAIN HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT CAN CAUSE WATER TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND/OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. THIS CAN PRESENT SIMPLY AS WATER ON THE FLOOR BOARDS. BUT IT CAN ALSO PRESENT IN MORE SUBTLE WAYS WITH WATER COMING IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND BEING DRAWN THROUGHOUT THE CAR THROUGH COPPER WIRES ACTING AS CONDUIT (THIS EFFECTS SPEAKER QUALITY, RADIO FUNCTION, CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION ETC). MOST IMPORTANTLY, WATER CAN ACCUMULATE IN THE COMPARTMENT UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THAT HOUSES THE DYNAMIC STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM PUTTING SAFETY AT RISK. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH OUR XC90 BUT SEE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING OTHER VOLVO MODELS. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN BUT MOST CONCERNING BECAUSE OF ITS SUBTLE NATURE, SLOW PROGRESSION, AND PROHIBITIVE COSTS TO REPAIR. MANY PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH COMPROMISED SYSTEMS AND ARE NOT YET AWARE, UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE CAUSE, OR UNABLE TO FUND THE REPAIR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER A FEW MONTHS AGO. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING IT UNTIL THEY STARTED TO BRIEFLY BLINK, I STILL WAS NOT SURE IT WAS HAPPENING. TONIGHT, AS I WAS DRIVING HOME, THE LIGHTS ABRUPTLY TURNED OFF. I STOPPED THE CAR AS I WAS DRIVING WITH NO HEADLIGHTS AND NOTICED A WARNING LIGHT THAT SAID LOW BEAM FAILURE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO WORK AGAIN. ON THE 30 MINUTE DRIVE HOME, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD BLINK OFF AND ON; SOMETIMES ONE WOULD WORK, SOMETIMES NEITHER WOULD WORK. VERY UNSAFE!!! I'M VERY UPSET TO READ THAT THIS IS A KNOWN COMPLAINT AND VOLVO HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF IN THE DARK, I HAD BOTH OF MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. IT'S HORRIBLE THEY WOULD ALLOW THIS KNOWN PROBLEM TO GO UNRESOLVED. THAT'S PLAYING WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES. *TR
