Replying to: meg12 (May 08, 2009 6:22 am) Exactly, keep being squeeky! I sent complaints to everyone including the National Transportation Safety Board. Any legal recourse at this point would be a combined Class Action-which I'm sure there's enough of us to qualify-more than three is needed I believe. But for now, complain to Volvo, and the NTSB, even to anyone at your state level, legislators, whomever. Hopefully this will help. I'm told the latest transmissions they are putting in a completely different and are meant to last-I know-but time will tell. Good luck and let me know if you need any other help! Lisa |

Replying to: meg12 (May 08, 2009 6:22 am) I know the feeling... We had bought our 2003 T6 and in less than 2 months, the tranmission went out right before I got on the freeway! This car is just such a disaster I can't even put it into words. Good thing we had the extended warranty and they covered the "rebuilt" transmission because the the warranty company refused to pay for a brand new one and if that wasn't enough, it took AAMCO a month and a half to get the work done! ugh! I am so fed up with the car! never ever will I buy Volvo again... I am in CA and have been interested in starting a class lawsuit for about 4 months as well. We all need to come together and show Volvo that they cannot keep doing this to other people in producing absolutely safety hazards on our roads for families. Let me know if there is anything you find out so that I can try and start the same process here in my hometown. Good luck! BTW- my car is on its 3rd transmission because like you when we purchased our XC90 at 62,500 miles, the dealership did not disclose that the fact that the car was already on its 2nd transmission...

Does anyone have any facts about the transmission Volvo is using as a replacement? Several posts have talked about that it is different. My wife had hers done and seems sure that it now has less power - she thinks they may have changed the setting in the computer and it shifts into higher gears earlier, lowering the tork (sp?). Any thougts?

Replying to: VolvoAdvocate (May 09, 2009 3:44 am) Not sure what they just replaced my transmission with, though it seems to have a dead spot. I put my foot on the gas and nothing happens, then you feel the transmission kick in. Odd. I didn't hear from Gengras Volvo exactly what was put in. Only that it was the newest version and upgraded transmission. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Lisa |

Replying to: laws65 (May 05, 2009 3:08 am) I bought my  2003 XC90 in March 2006  55,000miles. 6 months later 72,000 miles the transmission failed and was replaced. Volvo split the cost with me thanks to my long-time mechanic. This past weekend, at 107,000 miles, the transmission urgent message came up on the New York Turnpike while driving my daughter home from college. The car is now sitting in East Greenbush, NY while I have returned to Columbus, OH. I have not decided what to do about fixing the car. I am tempted to just let it rust. I do not want to pay any part of this and I am in favor and will participate in a class action lawsuit. Lisa - I will email you to find out your methods. Thanks all for sharing the information.

Replying to: mollywm (May 11, 2009 4:12 pm) I think we should all keep each others names and emails handy-as we may need them. First and foremost, I'm very sorry you've had to go through this again. I debated the same thing, let the bank take it and put in a $7k transmission. Please email me at laws65 sbcglobal.net and I can definitely let you know what I did to get it paid for by Volvo. I'd be happy to help in anyway that I can. Take care. Lisa |
