Replying to: rosanchez76 (May 11, 2009 8:43 pm) Form for NTSB is very short, took less than five minutes to fill out. If your not sure what to put for any of the drop downs, let me know, and I'll be glad to help. The more of us that fill this out the more the National Transportation Safety Board will be aware of this major defect! Lisa laws65  sbcglobal.net

Hi all. I am at this point considering myself somewhat lucky. My 04 xc90 crapped out but is covered under warranty. Problem is the dealer and Volvo have refused any temporary transportation for less that 530.00 and it is going to be at least 3 weeks before it is repaired as the transmissions are backordered. Does anyone have any advice as to how to get Volvo to pay for temp ? We are in Chapel Hill NC

Just signed up & started reading these messages but to late for me. My '03 T6 with just about 70k mi. is in the local independant Volve Authorized repair shop.  Dropped it off this morning after having to push it out of my driveway. I pulled into the garage last night & went to adjust the position of the car & had no reverse! I have heard about this GM transmission on other forums but kept my fingers crossed that maybe mine was different. Several months ago I started to experience a "bang" in the tranny upon take off, that stopped but then upon acceleration either from a dead stop or after slowing down then accelerating it would slip. RPM's would go up then gear would engage & away we'd go.... Anybody who can point me in the right direction to get involved in a class action suit against Volvo to help recoup my losses (service manager this morning - first words out of his mouth "probably gonna need a new transmission" that was before he even saw the car let alone put it on the rack & look under the hood). Got to have transportation so we'll see what happens. I will take it for a second opinion.

Replying to: verot6 (May 20, 2009 7:05 am) Here's what I did to get the tranny replaced for free in March. 1. Online complaint to your state's Attorney General. 2. Online complaint to your state's Consumer Protection 3. Online complaint form to Volvo. 4. Online complaint to NTSB. Then be very vocal that this shouldn't have happened. If need be, the dealer who replaced my transmissions, and I was told I was one of the first to have it done with the "new/upgraded" transmission was with Gengras Volvo in East Hartford, CT. I hope this brings you luck. Remember squeeky grease gets heard. I'd love to join in on a Class Action if anyone knows someone or knows how.... Lisa |

Replying to: laws65 (May 20, 2009 8:20 am) When did you start the process, did you take it to a dealer (the one you may have bought the car from), did you actually have it replaced (how much $$) & then get reimbursed...... just looking to understand the details. I certainly cannot deal with thousands of dollars for a transmission right know. My local authorized Volvo repair shop just quoted me a "salvaged tranny" from an '03 T6 with 78,000 miles (5k more than my car has on the odometer) for $3,500 plus labor...... ouch. I am going to get started on "squeaky" I may have to resort to "grinding"!!!  It is just so unbelievable that Volvo would not have corrected this problem after the first 100 failures & i am sure there has been at least that many on record if not 10 times that amount. Thanks, anybody got any words of wisdom?
