THE BEARING FOR THE COUNTER BALANCE SHAFT HAS FAILED ON MY VEHICLE, CAUSING OVER $3,000 IN REPAIRS NEEDED. VOLVO HAS ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH OLDER 2005 XC90'S WITH THE V8, BUT ARE NOT WILLING TO COVER MY REPAIRS COSTS. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. IF THIS BEARING FAILS WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2005 XC90 V8 STALLED IN TRAFFIC. WOULD NOT RESTART, BUT STARTER WOULD CRANK. FUEL PUMP CONTROLLER WAS FOUND TO BE INTERNALLY CORRODED AND FILLED WITH DRIED SALT. THIS CONTROLLER IS MOUNTED FORWARD OF THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WELL. MANY INSTANCES OF THIS CONTROLLER FAILING DUE TO SALT / MOISTURE INGRESS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER OWNERS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND OIL WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED. THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED WHILE I WAS ON THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES FROZE UP AND THE SPEED DECREASED TO BARELY NOTHING. I COULD GET THE CAR TO JUST MAKE IT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY BECAUSE I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL OR USE THE BRAKES WELL. THOUGHT IT WAS MY OIL SO I WAS ABLE TO GET SOMEONE TO ADD OIL TO IT WHILE ON SIDE OF BUSY ROAD. STARTED CAR UP FINE AND DROVE FOR 5 MORE DAYS UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. GOT IT TOWED TO MECHANIC WHO CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP. OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AROUSE WHILE MECHANIC HAD IT SO BROUGHT TO VOLVO WHO SAYS I NEED A NEW CONTROL ELECTRIC MODULE IN MY CAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER PARKING AT RESTAURANT, WE WALKED TO OUR PARKED VOLVO AND WHEN I TURNED THE KEY, IT WOULD ONLY GO FROM 0 TO THE 1 POSITION ( I.E.LIGHTS, RADIO WOULD COME ON) BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN ANY FURTHER TO THE START POSITION HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE TO THIS MODEL AND IT IS AN IGNITION LOCK FAILURE. THEY NEED TO ORDER THE PART FROM SWEDEN AND HAVE IT MATCH OUR KEYS. $850 !!. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY MIND HAS WE COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED ANYWHERE AND IF THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, WHY ARE THEY NOT RECALLING THIS PART? *TR

ENGINE
I WAS JUST DRIVING ALONG AT 30 MPH OR LESS WHEN I HEARD A PRETTY LOAD NOISE AND THEN FELT A VIBRATION ON THE FLOOR BOARD. I WAS JUST A BLOCK AWAY FROM MY DESTINATION AND WHEN I GOT THERE THE NOISE CONTINUED. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR BUT AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION LATER IN THE DAY AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR AWHILE I REALIZED THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I HAD THE CAR ORIGINALLY TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS I HAD THE CAR A LITTLE UNDER ONE YEAR AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER ALWAYS HAD THE CAR SERVICED THROUGH A VOLVO DEALERSHIP FROM DAY ONE TO 60,200. I TOOK OVER THE CAR AND AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT MY CAR HAD A LITTLE OVER 85,000 MILES. ENGINES ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO FAIL AT UNDER 100,000 MILES. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THESE ENGINES. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF THESE STORIES JUST LIKE MINE AND VOLVO IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT! THEY DO NOT CARE, THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR CARS. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS A LOT OF INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE BEING HURT FINANCIALLY BY VOLVO. A RECALL ON THESE CAR SHOULD BE ISSUED...VOLVO NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS! VOLVO MADE THE DETERMINATION NOT TO HELP ME...WITHOUT EVEN SEEING THE CAR AND THE SERVICE RECORDS. ACTION NEEDS TO HAPPEN AND THEY NEED TO BE FORCED TO HELP ME AND THE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THIS IS A 2005 VOLVO THAT HAS A HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN ALL CARS OF THIS MODEL AND YEAR. IF ONE GOOGLES THE MODEL AND MAKE OF THIS CAR ONE WILL FIND FORUM AFTER FORUM OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THESE FAILED TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE OR SHORTLY AFTER WARRANTY IS UP. THE DEALERS AND SERVICES HAVE LARGELY PUT THIS ITEM WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ISSUE ON TO THE CUSTOMER. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON TO A FREEWAY. I WAS NEARLY IN A LIKELY FATAL COLLISION DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILING TO GO OUT OF 2ND GEAR. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT SURROUNDING THIS ISSUE IN THIS MODEL , BUT FEW VOLVO OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED OF IT. PLEASE HELP US AND DEMAND THAT VOLVO RECALL THESE CARS, REPAY FOR FAILED TRANSMISSIONS AND LOST VALUE OF THE CARS......ONE CANNOT EVEN GIVE THEM AWAY NO AND THESE WERE 45K$ CARS!!!!!!!!!!FURIOUS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT 55-60 MPH ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR LOST POWER. THIS CAUSED A FRIGHTENING AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS OR TAIL LIGHTS I COULD NOT BE SEEN BY OTHER DRIVERS. I TRIED TO CROSS 2 LANES AND GET ONTO THE SHOULDER WITH NO POWER STEERING OR ENGINE POWER. WHILE I WAS VERY FORTUNATE I WAS NOT IN OR DID NOT CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT I HAD AN EXTREMELY CLOSE CALLS. I CHANGED LANES AND ALMOST COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING AT 55. ONCE IN THE LANE ANOTHER DRIVER WHO WAS UNABLE TO SEE MY VEHICLE (NO LIGHTS) CAME UP BEHIND ME AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ONLY A LAST MINUTE SWERVE AVOIDED A REAR END COLLISION THAT NO DOUBT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT WITH VERY SERIOUS IF NOT TRAGIC RESULTS. ADDITIONALLY OTHER DRIVERS HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID THE VEHICLE-CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS, CHAOTIC SITUATION. THE LOSS OF POWER AND LOSS OF LIGHTS CAME CLOSE TO CAUSING A MAJOR MULTI-VEHICLE ACCIDENT. MANY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE ARE KILLED TO REOPEN THE INVESTIGATION AND RE-CONSIDER A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED. THIS WAS THE 2ND TRANSMISSION, AS THE FIRST ONE FAILED AT 45000 MILES. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $6000. REBUILDING FAILED TRANS WAS SLIGHTLY CHEAPER BUT NOT WORTH IT. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BUT WAS SETTLED BEFORE MY TRANSMISSION FAILED. *TR

ENGINE
GOOD MORNING, I PURCHASE A 2005 VOLVO XC90 FROM DRIVE TIME ON MARCH 29, 2013, PRIOR TO PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IT WAS MY DREAM AUTOMOBILE, ON APRIL 17, 2013 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS LATE FOR WORK BECAUSE I WENT TO DRIVE TIME TO FIND OUT WHERE TO TAKE IT SINCE I DID PURCHASE THE DRIVE CARE PACKAGE. I CALLED THE CLAIM DEPARTMENT AND BECAUSE OF MILES I TRAVEL DAILY THE WARRANTY MILEAGE HAD EXPIRE, WHICH WAS CONFUSING BECAUSE ON THE SALE SLIP ON THE CAR IT STATED 30 DAY WARRANTY, I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT A VOLVO DEALER FOR SERVICE, I TOOK IT TO MOOERS VOLVO IN RICHMOND, VA AND THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATE THERE WERE MISFIRE IN THE SPARK PLUGS ($500) LATER, THEY ALSO STATED THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL PLUGS AND NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND MY DRIVE CARE PACKAGE DIDN'T COVER MAINTENANCE. FOUR DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON, INDICATING THE SAME PROBLEM (MISFIRE IN PLUGS 6 &8) AGAIN MISSING TIME FROM WORK TO HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT BECAUSE I DON''T WANT TO BE BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS TIME THEY CHANGE THE FUEL FILTER AND PUT A GAS TREATMENT IN MY CAR ($154) LATER, STATING THAT IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO W/FUEL TANK. I HAVE SPENT A LITTLE OVER $1000, IN REPAIRS AND CAR RENTAL AND MY CAR WAS TWO MONTHS OLD AT THAT TIME. I GOT MY CAR SERVICED ON TIME AND STILL MY CHECK ENGINE IS STILL ON.I WENT TO A SHOP RECENTLY BECAUSE OF THE (A YEAR LATER) CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. THEY SUGGEST I LOOK UP THE RECALL SAFETY BECAUSE NOW ONE SIDE B1 HAS A MISFIRE READING. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND I TRAVEL AN HOUR EACH WAY TO WORK AND WOULD HATE FOR SOMETHING TERRIBLE TO HAPPEN. I'M HOPING YOU WOULD GUIDE ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED OR WHO I NEED TO DIRECT MY CONCERNS TO. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE. *TR

2005 VOLVO XC90. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE BREAKDOWN. *SMD AN INITIAL INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A DECLARED DESIGN FLAW BY VOLVO IN THEIR 2005 MODELS. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONSUMER, TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS AND DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE BREAK DOWN WAS IN FACT A DESIGN FLAW. CORPORATE VOLVO STATED THE ISSUE WAS NOT PROBLEMATIC ENOUGH FOR THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL, AS PROBLEMS WERE EVALUATED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. VOLVO INFORMED THE DEALER TO RE-BUILD THE ENGINE, INSTEAD OF REPLACING IT. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE PURCHASED THIS 2005 VOLVO XC90 USED IN OCTOBER 2011 AND SINCE THAT TIME HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP MODULE 3 TIMES. THE LEFT HEADLIGHTS WOULD SOMETIMES WORK AND OTHER TIMES NOT. EACH TIME WE TOOK IT IN FOR DIAGNOSIS, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE HEADLAMP MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. THIS IS A $460 PART, ONE THAT HAS A LONG HISTORY OF FAILURE. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT, FOR FEAR THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF THE MODULE FAILED ONCE, OR MAYBE EVEN TWICE, BUT THREE TIMES IN ONLY 2.5 YEARS AND LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH OTHER VOLVO OWNERS AS WELL, YET VOLVO HAS NOT TAKEN STEPS TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, ONE THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH VOLVO'S LACK OF ACTION TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. CHECKING ONLINE, I SEE THAT MANY OTHER VOLVO XC90 OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. ANY ASSISTANCE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR
