#58 of 143 46,000 2nd set of wheel bearings and unusual tire wear by rman75 Aug 02, 2007 (8:13 am)
Replying to: jccai1 (Jun 26, 2007 2:06 pm) I too, have experienced bearing problems and tire wear. My 2005, V8 XC90 has now had the 2nd set of wheel bearings replaced. After the first set, I knew the telltale sign was the sound of driving on snow tires. And one of my 4 tires (Michelin's) has severe tread wear in the center. Another tire is not quite as bad, and the other two are Ok.   So now it seems my two year old car, with 46,000 miles should be quickly dumped before I have more trouble. How do we all band together so that Volvo supports us?

Replying to: 137walter (Jan 04, 2007 12:14 pm) I have the same problem with the Michelins on my wifes XC90 with only 12,000 miles. Was yours our anyone out there replaced for free (Warranty). My dealership (Volvoville LI) will not honor any waranty on the tires and they say I have to pay for them?? That is ridiculous I bought this vehicle for my wife to drive our children in because of it's outstanding safety record. My Volvo dealership say's: the way the tread on my Michelins is worn is because they are improperly inflated maintained?? BS Someone have any advice?   Thanks   Frank

Replying to: jccai1 (Jun 26, 2007 2:06 pm) Holy cow! Reading this forum on the XC90 and it doesn't look good. The main complaint of brakes, rods, suspension, bearings, is a expensive journal being written. And the amount of miles ....shocking. I own a 2004 XC90 turbo with 20k on it right now and I love the car. I have had some problems that were unexpected for a $45,000+ BRAND NEW CAR, that should never been an issue. Living in New Hampshire, and having to drive 100 miles+ round trip to the nearest dealer tend to make me cranky, but the dealer took care of the issues at their cost. My tires were shot at 14k. I was just doing research for tires and came across this forum. All I can say is thank you to all that have posted their issues and I am now tossing the ball around with the idea of S E L L I N G. I am on a fixed income being retired. I can't imagine spending that kind of money on repair of a new car, the time and travel for repairs, and fighing with the dealer every step. I too damn old.

Replying to: hoosbest (Nov 21, 2006 6:59 pm) My 2006 Volvo XC 90 had to have new set of tires at 15,000. Now at 37,500 I'm told I need another new set. Any idea of a really good make/model of replacement tires for longer wear?

#63 of 143 Noisy drive by frog_powers Sep 11, 2007 (9:51 am)
Replying to: lovnthevolvo1 (Sep 28, 2007 9:51 am) I recently hit a pothole and subsequently had the car checked out. They could not find anything wrong with the car but when I drive the car, the front left tire seems to be very noisy. it makes a sound as if the rim is warped. The car does not pull to any side and the steering is still very stable. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Replying to: frog_powers (Sep 11, 2007 9:51 am) Are you noticing any loss of air pressure in the front left tire?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: frog_powers (Sep 12, 2007 5:39 am)

Replying to: frog_powers (Sep 11, 2007 9:51 am) Maybe one of the weights fell out and you need to rebalance the tires?
#67 of 143 last volvo purchase by donteven Oct 15, 2007 (12:11 pm)
I have new Michelin tires after 18K on my XC90. This will be my last Volvo purchase after attempting to get new tires with Volvo and Pirelli. As of 9/25/07 Volvo America states that you will be partially reimbursed based on tread wear, it must be less than 3/32 and under 24K mileage. I don't care how long these companies have been in business and what kind of products they have produced in the past, they are sending a different message by jeopardizing your safety and not owning up to it.
