Replying to: pmwri (Dec 22, 2008 7:00 pm) Updated the software, cost $238. All lights have been cleared, service tech at dealership says it is ready to go. I picked it up on 12/27/2008. Leave dealership and drive to CarMax to determine trade in price. For my 4 year old, $46k+, 62K mile high end XC90 T6 I was offered $9000! If I had a non-turbo it would have been worth more!!! Remember, we paid extra for the T6!!!!! On my drive home, the engine started running very rough and the check engine light came on. So I took it back to the dealership and had the service rep ride along with me while my wife talked with the Service Manager. Upon my return the service manager asks the service rep if he thinks that it is the "tranny". Rep says that it is slipping and has a grinding noise, most likely a new tranny needed. Don't stop reading because you will NOT believe this! Service Mgr says to Rep, "go ahead and cover the entire transmission replacement, parts & labor under the dealership/Volvo good will budget!!!" That is right, then entire costs. So here I sit, waiting for them to call and let me know that my SUV is ready, with one bit of advice. Stay calm, don't yell, use postings from this site to help make your case and then just camp out in the Service Managers office until they agree. Good Luck everyone!

Replying to: pmwri (Jan 03, 2009 4:17 pm) few comments, though... Leave dealership and drive to CarMax to determine trade in price. For my 4 year old, $46k+, 62K mile high end XC90 T6 I was offered $9000! If I had a non-turbo it would have been worth more!!! Remember, we paid extra for the T6!!!!! Your vehicle is 5 years old. There was no non-turbo in '04. Did you really pay full retail for it? All SUVs have taken a resale bath, unfortunately. |

I bought my 2003 XC-90 new (it was the first one they came out with) and this should have been a first warning. I paid top dollar...NO consideration was given for any sort of discount. I have just over 108,000 miles on it and literally have spent over $20,000.00 on "repairs". I should have turned it in as a lemon but didn't . I bought the extended warranty and did use it several times but it has expired. I have had oil leaks, noisy sounds as though the car is falling apart, had to replace the brakes many times, tires for this vehicle are more expensive than they would have been with other cars, bearing, shocks, you name it...this piece of junk has been in and out of the Volvo dealership time and time again (and usually was kept and driven by managers for a week or two at a time) to "locate" the problem. They problem at the time would supposedly be "fixed" but would not stay "fixed". Now the transmission needs to be replaces. I have been quoted $4,500.00 and I have no assurance that they would put a good one in. PLUS, the check engine light is on so no telling what else they would "find" that needed attention. I have had the car serviced properly and at this point I probably have close to $70,000.00 invested in this pile of junk. If I pop another $4,500.00 or more in it, what will happen next and how long will I be able to drive it without spending more money? MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO ANY OF YOU CONSIDERING BUYING A VOLVO XC-90, DON'T DO IT!!! I should have bought a Honda! Kevin |
