#1 of 3 2008 XC90 Shaking and rumble by fltri1550 Feb 15, 2008 (6:07 am)
Just bought a new 2008 XC90 and had to return to dealer 5 minutes after driving away as the car was shaking and had a rumble from the rear which varied with road speed. New tires were then put on the car which reduced the shaking but I still feel my legs shaking when driving along. The rumbling from the rear comes and goes and of course does not happen with a mechanic in the car. Has anyone else experienced anythig similar?

Replying to: fltri1550 (Feb 15, 2008 6:07 am) Got my 2008 XC90 almost two weeks ago and had the chance to drive it for almost 500 miles before finding out that the engine's bad. Needless to say, I no longer have it. Addressing your issue, mine was smooth and very comfortable. My wife and I fell in love with the car during the seven days we had it. Something is definitely wrong with your car. It's supposed to drive like a car, I think, mine felt better than a car. I had a seven-seater 3.2 FWD. It was very quiet and smooth. I have a S40 loaner car right now, and I think the XC90 is more comfortable. I should be back on a XC90 again soon. Sorry if I can't provide any info on what's wrong with your XC90. I can only share my experience, no matter how short it was .

We've had our '08 XC90 since January 2nd. No problems with the engine (knock wood) but the mirror compass wasn't calibrated by the factory or dealership. I too turned around within 5 minutes of pick up and, along with someone at the dealership, figured out how to fix it.   Only other issue is the driver side carpet coming up. I seriously doubt that the dealership puts the car through a complete pre pick up inspection.   If you complain on the Volvo survey, it's the salesman that gets dinged...in the pocket. What's up with that???
