POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
IT APPEARS MY STORY HAS BEEN WRITTEN HERE BY MANY OTHERS. I OWN A 2004 XC90 T6. LAST SATURDAY MY HUSBAND RETURNED HOME IN OUR XC90 AND TOLD ME HE HAD CAR TROUBLE. THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH AND THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE URGENT LIGHT HAD COME ON. I TOOK IT TO OUR VOLVO CERTIFIED MECHANIC TWO DAYS LATER WHO SAID HE HAD 3 OTHER XC90'S IN DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER FOR THE SAME THING. HIS COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO FLUSH THE TRANNY, REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID (W/VOLVO SYNTHETIC) AND UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. I WAS TOLD IF THAT DIDN'T REMEDY THE SITUATION A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD BE NEEDED. AFTER HAVING THIS WORK DONE (COST $350) I DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING AS I DROVE UP A MILD INCLINE AT ABOUT 25 MPH THE CAR SEEMED TO BE UNABLE TO SHIFT. WHEN IT FINALLY DID ALL OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR THE TRANSMISSION WERE BACK ON. THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I CALLED THE MECHANIC BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT A NEW VOLVO TRANNY WOULD BE NEEDED AT A COST OF BETWEEN $4500-$5200. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WILL BE THE SAME DEFECTIVE/INADEQUATE TRANNY THAT IS ALREADY USED IN THE 03/04 XC90'S. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST VOLVO. WE HAVE BOUGHT FROM THEM BEFORE AND WERE HAPPY. IT SEEMS THIS IS NOT JUST AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE, IT IS CHRONIC AND VOLVO NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THIS PROBLEM SUBSTANTIALLY AFFECTS THE USE AND VALUE OF THIS CAR. I CAN'T SELL IT THE WAY IT IS SO I AM ESSENTIALLY TRAPPED INTO SPENDING THIS ADDITIONAL $5K. THESE CARS ARE EXPENSIVE TO BEGIN WITH AND YOU EXPECT QUALITY, LONGEVITY AND DEPENDABILITY FROM VOLVO, NOT TO BE TOLD THAT AT 51,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

STRUCTURE
A RAIN STORM CAUSED FLOODING INTO MY 2004 VOLVO XC90 DESTROYING THE INTERIOR. THE WATER DAMAGE CAME INTO THE CAR FROM THE SUN ROOF I WAS TOLD BY A VOLVO SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE DRAIN IN THE SUN ROOF WAS CLOGGED WHICH CAUSED THE INTERIOR FLOOD. THE PROBLEM IS THAT DURING ROUTINE VOLVO MAINTENANCE THIS SO CALLED DRAINED WAS NOT CLEANED. I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT THERE WAS A DRAIN IN THE SUN ROOF . THIS PROBLEM COST $1900.00 AND LOST OF MY CAR FOR FOUR DAYS . I DID NOTHING WRONG AND FEEL THIS IS MANUFACTURE DEFECT I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED TO AVOID THE ADDITIONAL COST OF SMALL CLAIMS COST YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
OUR COMPANY OWNS 3 - 2004 VOLVO XC90 VEHICLES. ALL THREE HAVE REQUIRED TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS AT LOW MILEAGES (77,000, 90,000 AND 106,000 MILES). WE BELIEVE THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY LOW MILEAGE FOR A VEHICLE TO HAVE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHEN IT IS A $50,000 VEHICLE NEW. AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT THEY CANNOT GET A TRANSMISSION FOR THIS IN THE US AT THIS TIME AND THE MANY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE VEHICLES. WE BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE REVIEWED BY THE GOVERNMENT DUE TO THE HIGH RATE OF FAILURE AT MILEAGES LOWER THAN ACCEPTABLE FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURES. ALL THREE OF OUR VEHICLES ARE DRIVEN FOR WORK PURPOSES ONLY, MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES AND DO NOT PULL TRAILERS OR ARE ABUSED IN ANY OTHER WAY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2004 VOLVO T6 AWD TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN SLIPPING SLIGHTLY SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, BUT THERE WAS NO WARNING OR SERVICE LIGHT. I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL IN VICTOR N.Y. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION TOTALLY DISENGAGED, THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO 4,000 RPM'S AND I NEEDED TO SWERVE OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER IN ORDER FOR TRAFFIC GET AROUND ME. NO ONE WAS HURT, I CAME TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER, RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED. I PULLED AWAY SLOWLY AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS OK, BUT STILL SLIPPED AND FAILED TO SHIFT UP OCCASIONALLY. NOW 6 WEEKS LATER THE SLIPPING WAS BECOMING MUCH MORE FREQUENT. THE "TRANSMISSION SERVICE URGENT" LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TODAY. I HAVE NOT HEARD THE OUTCOME YET, BUT AFTER READING THE INCIDENTS REPORTED HERE, AND ALL THE INTERNET FORUMS, INCLUDING:HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/WEBX/.F0A069B/ SELECT VOLVO XC90 T6 TRANSMISSION, I AM QUITE SURE I KNOW THE OUTCOME. MY CAR HAD 105,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED, BUT THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION, THE FIRST WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES. MY VOLVO DEALER DID NOT SEEM AT ALL SURPRISED BY THE PROBLEM. I AM QUITE CERTAIN THEY SEE IT ON A REGULAR BASIS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
IN MARCH OF 2008 I NOTICED A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE IN THE GARAGE WERE THE VEHICLE WAS STORED. THIS ODOR HAD ALSO PERMEATED THROUGH OUT THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. CHECKED VEHICLE FOR FUEL LEAKS AND COULD NOT DETERMINE SOURCE DUE TO QUICK EVAPORATION OF FUEL. ON MARCH 17, 08 LOCAL DEALER FOUND LEAK AT TOP OF FUEL TANK UNDER 2ND ROW SEATS. REPLACED FUEL PUMP AND "FAULTY" LEVEL SENSOR. ON MARCH 27, 08 I RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALER WITH SAME PROBLEM. THEY TRIED TO PACIFY ME BY SAYING IT WAS RESIDUAL ODOR AND WOULD GO AWAY WITH TIME. AFTER INSPECTION BY DEALER, IT WAS STILL LEAKING. SOLUTION PER DOCUMENTATION WAS TO REPLACE LEVEL SENSOR O-RING ON LEFT SIDE. HOWEVER THE TECH INFORMED ME THE FUEL TANK WITH PUMP AND SENDING UNIT WERE ALL REPLACED. ON SEPTEMBER 16, 08 I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. IT IS BACK TO DEALER, STAY TUNED...... *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON I-10 AT NIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 75MPH WITH MY FAMILY, WE EXPERIENCE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRONICS SUCH AS LOSS OF BRAKING, STEERING, ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, ALL INSTRUMENTS, AND TRANSMISSION. WE HAD A TOTAL LOSS OF EVERY ELECTRICAL FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE AT THE MOST DANGEROUS POINT AND TIME OF OUR TRAVEL - AT NIGHT, ON AN INTERSTATE, AND FAR FROM MAJOR CITIES. AFTER MUCH STRESS AND FEAR, WE LIMPED TO OUR DESTINATION BARELY. IN SHORT, WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A VOLVO DEALER. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE C.E.M. (ONE OF FEW "BRAINS" OF THE VEHICLE FAILED) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND OF COURSE WE DID. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT C.E.M FAILURES ARE AN COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. TWO DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE RECENTLY. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE. OUR LIVES WERE AT RISK GIVEN OUR CIRCUMSTANCE. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. A FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, CRASH, AND REPORT TO POLICE SHOULD NOT IN THIS CASE BE THE GENESIS OF A RECALL. THE SIMPLE FACTS OF OUR NEAR GRAVE EXPERIENCE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO HAVE A RECALL. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 VOLVO XC-90 AT NIGHT I EXPERIENCED A MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL, FOLLOWED BY THE HEADLIGHTS PAUSING AND THEN GOING FROM HIGH BEAMS TO LOW. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LOST SOME OF IT'S DISPLAYS AND THE DOOR LOCKS BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE DATA DISPLAY WARNED ME OF AN "URGENT SRS FAILURE". I WAS AT LOW SPEED A BLOCK FROM HOME SO I CREPT HOME AND THE NEXT DAY SENT THE CAR TO TRIAD VOLVO BY ROLL-BACK WRECKER. PROBLEM WAS FAILURE OF CENTRAL ELECTRONIC MODULE. I CALLED VOLVO CORPORATE AND THEY SEEMED DISINTERESTED. *TR

AT 78,000 MILES MY 2004 VOLVO XC90 T6 TRANSMISSION JERKS AND THE "URGENT TRANSMISSION LIGHT" SHINES 25 MILES FROM OUR HOUSE. THE SERVICE CENTER SAYS WE NEED NEW TRANSMISSION $5,200 BUT FOR NOW THEY DROP PAN AND FLUSH. NOT SURE HOW LONG IT WILL LAST. PLUS THEY BILL ME FOR UPGRADING "SOFTWARE" $300+. TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS COMMON DUE TO INADEQUATE DESIGN (GM) RELATIVE TO POWER PLANT IN CAR. THIS IS EPIDEMIC. TRANSMISSIONS DO NOT FAIL AT 25,000 - 90,000 MILES. *TR

WHEELS
I HAVE A 2004 VOLVO XC90 WITH 65,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. WE RECENTLY NOTICED NOISE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT BOTH REAR WHEEL BEARINGS ARE GOING BAD FOR ONE TO GO BAD IS ONE THING, FOR BOTH HIGHLY UNLIKELY. FORTUNATELY, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. IF THE REAR WHEELS WOULD HAVE LOCKUP UP, IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. I SPOKE TO OTHER MECHANICS AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT BOTH WOULD GO BAD AND THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PARTS. I BELIEVE THAT THE REAL WHEEL HUBS ON THE VOLVO XC90S FROM 2004 FORWARD SHOULD BE REVIEW FOR FAULTY MECHANICAL ISSUES. THIS IS CONCERNING TO ME SINCE OTHER COULD BE HARMED BY A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY VOLVO 2004 XC90 T6 HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE FIRST INDICATION OF FAILURE WAS A LACK OF MOTION WHEN INITIALLY ACCELERATING DESPITE THE TACHOMETER READING 3500 RPM. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND DID A FIRMWARE UPDATE TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLLER. THE SECOND FAILURE WAS THE SAME AS THE FIRST. THE THIRD TIME THE ENGINE ENGAGED THE GEARS WITH A SERIES OF SHUDDERING JERKS FORWARD AND A FOUL-SMELLING (SMOKY) ODOR WAS BRIEFLY PRESENT. THE CAR IS BACK IN THE REPAIR SHOP PRESENTLY. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN USED TO TOW ANYTHING AND THE DRIVING HAS BEEN MOSTLY IN TOWN (AVERAGE SPEED 27 MPH). *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2004 VOLVO XC90 T6 HAS HAD SEVERAL RIDICULOUS ISSUES THAT I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED IN ANY OF THE GERMAN VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN FEARFUL OF THIS CAR OF LATE MAINLY BECAUSE I READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE RELIABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE. WELL MY FEARS BECAME REALITY ON FRIDAY NIGHT WHILE MY WIFE AND 22 MONTH SON WERE COMING HOME FROM THE MARKET. MY WIFE CALLED ME FRANTIC ABOUT HOW THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE AND NOW THAT I HAVE MANAGED TO DRIVE OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT IT IS NOT MOVING ABOVE 20 MPH. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS ANGRY AND VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. SHE WAS ABLE TO CREEP HOME AND WE CALLED THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY TO TAKE THIS PIECE OF JUNK TO MOOER'S VOLVO IN RICHMOND VIRGINIA 804 755-666. I WISH TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE RELIABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE AND THE DANGER IT PLACES IT'S OWNERS (MOSTLY PEOPLE WHO TURN TO VOLVO DUE TO IT'S SAFETY RECORD, WE SURE DID!) AND THEIR FAMILIES. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERS KNOW THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THESE CARS YET THEY DUMB YOU DOWN AS IF YOU ARE A UNIQUE CASE. MONDAY MORNING I WILL BE IN MY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WITH MY FACTS I GATHERED OVER THE WEEKEND SHOWING THIS IS SUCH A RIDICULOUSLY COMMON PROBLEM THAT IF VOLVO HASN'T DONE RIGHT BY CONSUMERS THEY BETTER GET READY FOR MAJOR LAWSUITS. TO START, THEY NEED TO BUY THESE CARS BACK FROM CONSUMERS FOR WHAT EVER THEY OWE ON THESE CARS AND ISSUE A STATEMENT APOLOGIZING FOR PUTTING OUT SUCH A TERRIBLY DANGEROUS PRODUCT FOR FAMILIES. *TR
