ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
COUNTERBALANCE SHAFT BEARING FAILURE AT 113,000 MILES LUCKILY FAILURE HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE REPAIR SHOP. IF THIS WOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE ON THE HIGHWAY MY WIFE AND KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. VOLVO KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE OR WOULD NOT HAVE RELEASED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON WAYS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY DRILLING WEEP HOLES IN THE BLOCK TO SHED MOISTURE. THE TRAPPED MOISTURE CAUSES THE BEARING TO RUST AND FINALLY FAIL CAUSING CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. VOLVO HAS OFFERED A MERE $3,000.00 TO CORRECT A $15,000.00 PROBLEM. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS TESTIMONIES FROM OTHER 2005 XC-90 OWNERS WITH ENGINE FAILURE ALWAYS FROM THE FAILED COUNTERBALANCE SHAFT BEARING. HOW DO WE FORCE VOLVO TO ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
2005 XC90 V8-MANY PROBLEMS WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND CAR LOSING POWER. LOST POWER ON INTERSTATE-CAR WOULD LOSE POWER AND SPEED-NEEDED TOW-HAPPENED TWICE. CURRENT ISSUE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY ALL LIGHTS COMING ON STATING BRAKE FAILURE, POWER OVERLOAD, LIMP MODE AND BRAKE FAILURE. DEALER REPLACED ALTERNATOR AT COST OF $1006. 10 DAYS LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ANTI SKID LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY BRAKE FAILURE LIGHT. CAR LOST HEADLIGHTS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS-9 PM AND SLEETING. DEALER NOW SAYS NEED TO REPLACE CEM AND BATTERY AT A COST OF $3,000 DUE TO WATER IN CEM. IT WAS RAINING OR SLEETING BOTH TIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. VOLVO REDESIGNED THE COVER TO PREVENT WATER INTRUSION BUT NEEDS TO ISSUE RECALL. VERY DANGEROUS- TICKING TIME BOMB. SOMEONE WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON RAINY NIGHT ON INTERSTATE. PLEASE CONSIDER REQUIRING RECALL-OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS DUE TO VOLVO XC90 V8 DESIGN FLAWS. HOW CAN VOLVO BE ALLOWED TO SELL VEHICLES THAT SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN OUTSIDE/OR IN THE RAIN. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
BALANCE SHAFT FAILURE ON 2005 VOLVO XC90 V8 WITH 115K MILES. UNBELIEVABLE THAT VOLVO WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS. BALANCE SHAFT FAILED TODAY AT JUST UNDER 115K MILES... UNBELIEVABLE... AND I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AN INTERNET RUMOR. IF YOU HAVE A 2005 XC90, SELL IT NOW! SERIOUSLY, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A $50,000 VEHICLE, AND EVEN MORE UNACCEPTABLE FOR VOLVO NOT TO ISSUE A RECALL. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT WE WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER VOLVO AGAIN SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. SHOULD HAVE STUCK WITH THE GERMANS (AUDI OR BMW), OR DARE I SAY IT THE JAPANESE, OR EVEN THE AMERICANS! I CAN REPLACE A LOT OF WHEEL BEARINGS ON A YUKON FOR WHAT THIS BALANCE SHAFT IS GOING TO COST ME. VOLVO NEEDS TO MAKE IT RIGHT WITH EVERY OWNER OF A 2005 XC90. VOLVO KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IS WHY THEY ISSUED A TSB TO DRILL A DRAIN HOLE IN THE BLOCK, BUT THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND ISSUE A RECALL OR, AT THE VERY LEAST IF AN OWNER COMES INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM, THEY NEED TO FIX IT AT NO CHARGE. IT WAS THEIR MISTAKE, OWN UP TO IT AND FIX IT! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER ON A VERY LONG BRIDGE AT NIGHT IN MY 2005 VOLVO XC90. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHILE THE CAR STAYED ON, IT APPEARED TO HAVE LOST POWER. I HAVE HAD OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AND HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THIS WAS BY FAR THE MOST DANGEROUS INCIDENT! AFTER DOING SOME INTERNET RESEARCH, I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF REPORTS SIMILAR TO MINE. THERE IS A DEFINITE ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
OCTOBER 10, 2010 PURCHASED CASH 2005 XC90 V8. WENT THROUGH SAFETY AND EMISSION SERVICE FOR REGISTRATION-- OKAY. OCTOBER 22 HEARD A STRANGE NOISE FROM ENGINE, CALLED VOLVO DEALERSHIP TO REQUEST SERVICE. DIDN'T DRIVE ON OCTOBER 23, 2010. ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24, WENT OUT TO MOVE THE CAR FOR OPPOSITE SIDE PARKING AND TO GAS UP FOR DRIVE TO SERVICE CENTER. CAR STOPPED AT SERVICE STATION, AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTICS OCTOBER 25, 2010 CONFIRMED: NOISE IS FROM EITHER BROKEN CONNECTING ROD OR BALANCE SHAFT....ADVICE TO CUSTOMER "NEEDS ENGINE" AT A COST OF $14,000+. THE CAR DID NOT COME WITH A WARRANTY AND EVEN NOW THE DEALER IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY EVASIVE--AS HE SAYS HE WAS THE OWNER/DEALER AT THE TIME OF SALE, AND AS INDIVIDUAL SELLER REGISTERED IN ANOTHER STATE AND NOT NEW YORK, SO DOES NOT HAVE TO HONOR WARRANTY OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY. CALL VOLVO NORTH AMERICA ON OCTOBER 26, 2010 WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF OUR OWNERSHIP, (STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED TITLE TO CAR). RESPONSE WAS --NO WARRANTY NO ASSISTANCE WITH THIS COUNTER BALANCE OR ANY OTHER ISSUE BEYOND 4 YEAR/50,000 MILES. CONCERN: BEFORE PURCHASE WHEN ASKING THE DEALER NO MENTION NOR WHEN RESEARCHED NO REVELATION OF THE COUNTERBALANCE SHAFT BEING AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE 2005 XC90 V8. HOWEVER, FURTHER EVIDENCE CLEARLY SHOWS DESIGN FLAWS IN THE ORIGINAL YAMAHA ENGINES, AND A SLIGHT COVERT ATTEMPT BY VOLVO TO FIX IT VIA ITS LIMITED EDITION TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN(TSB) TO DRILL THE HOLE IN THE SHAFT TO LET BUILD UP MOISTURE ESCAPE. ADDITIONALLY, VOLVO'S SECOND ATTEMPT TO SLIGHTLY ADDRESS THE COUNTER BALANCE ISSUE IS EVIDENCED VIA ITS LIMITED AND PAY-TO-GET TSB INFORMING DEALERSHIPS NOT CONSUMERS 'OF NOT WASHING THE ENGINE,' WHICH MAY LEAD TO MOISTURE BUILD UP AND TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. OUR ATTEMPTS ARE NOW BEING MADE FOR VOLVO TO MAINTAIN ITS SLOGAN OF "SAFETY FOR LIFE." WE WANT THE SAFETY ATTRIBUTE TO BE EFFECTIVE AND USEFUL WHEN THE CAR IS OPERABLE, AND NOT WHEN THE CAR IS INOPERABLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 VOLVO XC90 T6. BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW. HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS INCLUDING TRANSMISSION OUT; THE BLINKERS DO NOT WORK. THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE IS MISLEADING AND THIS IS A HORRIBLE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE BLINKER DON'T WORK. LOOKING INTO IT, SEEMS LIKE THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MANY OWNER OF VOLVO XC90 2005. THEY REALLY NEED TO RECALL THIS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE AND CAUSE FATALITIES. *TR

VEHICLE HAS DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT FAILURE. REPLACED BULB WITH CERTIFIED VOLVO REPLACEMENT AND STILL DID NOT WORK. CERTIFIED VOLVO MECHANIC TRACED FUSES AND ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (5 HOURS PAID SERVICE) AND FOUND THAT A PLASTIC PART DESIGNED TO KEEP WATER OUT OF THE INTERIOR (VIA WINDSHIELD) WAS DEFECTIVE, THEREFORE, CAUSING WATER LEAKAGE TO DAMAGE THE CENTRAL ELECTRICAL MODULE . *TR

I HAVE A 2005 VOLVO XC90 AWD. MY HEAD LIGHTS HAVE INTERMITTENT FAILURES ALMOST EVERY TIME I AM DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT STARTED ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO AND HAS BEEN GETTING MORE FREQUENT. SOMETIMES LEFT HEAD LIGHT FAILS, SOMETIMES RIGHT HEAD LIGHT FAILS, SOMETIMES BOTH GO OUT. THEY WILL RESUME WORKING, SOMETIMES IF I DO NOTHING, BUT ALWAYS IF I TURN THEM OFF & BACK ON. BUT WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL. THE DEALER SAID THEY CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ME AND MY WIFE JUST BOUGHT OUR FIRST VOLVO 4 DAYS AGO!!! AND MY WIFE WAS ON THE HIGH WAY WITH OUR 7 MONTH OLD SON WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON HER AND THEY ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT. THANK GOD SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGH WAY AND CALL AAA AND WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE VOLVO DEALER WERE WE BOUGHT IT FROM BECAUSE THEY GAVE US A 3 MONTH/ 3000 MILE WARRANTY. AND NOW IT'S BEEN 3 DAYS AND WE HAVE NO CAR AND THE DEALER IS SAYING THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION. I WISH THAT I WOULD HAVE READ SOME OF THESE REVIEWS ON THIS MODEL CAR. BECAUSE THEY ALL SEEM TO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THAT PROBLEM. WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2005 VOLVO XC 90 MODEL T6 WITH ABOUT 60,000 MILES ON IT. RECENTLY, THE CAR FAILED AND I GOT THE "URGENT TRANSMISSION SERVICE" WARNING. VOLVO INITIALLY WANTED TO CHARGE ME NEARLY $7000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BUT FINALLY AGREED TO COVER THE COST (MINUS A $160 "DIAGNOSIS PLUS MY TOWING COSTS). AFTER SOME INTERNET RESEARCH I SAW THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM IN MODEL YEAR 2003-2005 T6 MODELS; ALL CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURES WITH LOW MILEAGE, IN SOME CASES MULTIPLE TRANSMISSIONS INVOLVED. SEE ATTACHED LINK: HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F18A651 TALKING TO THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, THEY CLAIMED IT WAS BECAUSE THEY USED A GM TRANSMISSION THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE POWER OF THE ENGINE (OR PERHAPS THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR). THEY INSTALLED A "REMANUFACTURED" TRANSMISSION, THEY CLAIM WITH "BEEFED UP" CLUTCH PARTS. THERE HAVE BEEN SERVICE BULLETINS SINCE 2008 ABOUT LEAKS FROM THE RADIATOR CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID (LEADING TO FAILURES AS WELL). IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF THESE FAILURES. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT UNDERWAY AS WELL. IN MY CASE, I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, AND IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, AS I WAS ABLE TO FIND A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION AFTER JUST A FEW SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCHES. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION, AND IF WARRANTED, A RECALL AND COMPENSATION (THE USED CAR VALUE FOR THIS CAR HAVE DROPPED BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF RELIABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSIONS). I BELIEVE VOLVO IS TRYING TO DEAL WITH THIS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS TO COVER IT UP AND MINIMIZE THEIR COSTS. *TR

COUNTERBALANCE SHAFT BEARINGS BREAKDOWN IN NOV 2009 AND HAD REPAIRS DONE AT INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP; AUGUST 2010 CYLINDER HEAD LEAK/CRACK WHICH BRINGS OIL TO WATER COOLANT. REPAIR SHOP ADVISED TO GET RID OF CAR 2005 XC 90 V8 VOLVO. I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING THIS CAR. TO REPAIR AND REPLACE ENGINE AND NEW TRANSMISSION TOO MUCH $$$ FOR THIS VOLVO. WITH NO GUARANTEE. VOLVO NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THE BAD QUALITY OF THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. I FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH SO MANY CARS ON THE ROAD. IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS IS A SECOND REPORT I SUBMIT. THE OTHER DAY I JUST REPORTED MALFUNCTION OF TURN SIGNAL SWITCH OF MY VOLVO XC90, 2.5T, 2005. I TESTED AND OBSERVED THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH CAREFULLY AND I THINK THE POTENTIAL SEVERE DESIGN DEFECT IN THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, OR, MAYBE THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, WILL CAUSE FATAL INCIDENTS. ITS PERFORMANCE IS TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE. IT REFUSED TO RESPOND AT ANY TIME, EITHER STOPPED OR RUNNING. MOREOVER, I FOUND THAT SOMETIMES A RIGHT MOVEMENT OF THE LEVER GIVES A LEFT SIGNAL, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. HERE I WOULD LIKE TO STRONGLY REQUEST THAT THE INVESTIGATION OF VOLVO XC90 ELECTRONIC SYSTEM BE CONDUCTED THOROUGHLY. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED AT ALL TO HEAR ANY FATAL INCIDENT CAUSED BY THE UNPREDICTABLE MALFUNCTION. AND I HOPE THIS COULD BE PART OF A RECALL. INTERESTINGLY, I OBSERVED THAT ALL THE FUNCTIONS RELATED TO THE SWITCH LEVER EITHER DISAPPEAR ALTOGETHER OR WORKS WELL ALTOGETHER. THIS PARTIALLY SUPPORT THAT THERE IS DEFECT IN THE CONTROL MODULE. I WOULD LIKE TO HELP THE INVESTIGATION. I ALSO HAVE TWO WITNESSES WHO HELPED ME TO TEST DRIVE MY XC90. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BOUGHT A USED VOLVO XC90, 2.5T MODEL, MANUFACTURED IN 2005. AND YESTERDAY I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 30 MILES. VOLVO IS FAMOUS FOR VARIOUS SAFETY FEATURES. HOWEVER, I FOUND THAT FOR MANY TIMES THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER DID NOT WORK WELL, WHICH REALLY SCARED ME AND ALMOST CAUSED CRASHES ON HIGHWAY 610 OF HOUSTON. THE SYMPTOM OF MALFUNCTION IS THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I MOVE THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER, IT EITHER DID NOT RESPOND OR SHOWED A "LAG". AND SOMETIMES THE SIGNAL KEPT FLASHING LEFT, EVEN I GAVE LEFT TURN TO THE RIGHT. I REPORTED THIS POTENTIAL MALFUNCTION TO YOU BECAUSE I JUST READ THE NEWS ON HTTP://WOT.MOTORTREND.COM/6669043/RECALLS/NHTSA-INVESTIGATES-2004-2005-VOLVO-XC90-FOR-FAULTY-LIGHTS-SIGNALS/INDEX.HTML, WHICH MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT IT IS NOT ONLY AN INDIVIDUAL CASE. HOPE YOU CAN HAVE A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION, FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 VOLVO XC90 IN WHICH MY LOW BEAM LIGHT JUST CUTS OUT. IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME NOW. IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. I WAS LOOKING FOR POSSIBLE INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM AND LEARNED THAT AN INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY NOW AND THAT A RECALL MAY BE ISSUED. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO LEARNED TODAY THAT A FRIEND WITH A VOLVO CROSSCOUNTRY WAGON HAD THE SAME PROBLEM UNTIL THE CEM WAS REPLACED. *TR
