Molly,   No problem at all. It is a cranky situation for all of us-one which none of us should have to deal with.   I've contacted the firm you referenced, so thank you for posting this for all of us!!!!!   Lisa Replies to this message: mollywm (May 31, 2009 3:57 pm) luvmyvolvo (Jun 01, 2009 12:13 am)

Replying to: verot6 (May 28, 2009 2:12 pm) If you can get the dealership to cover all the costs, then by all means take it to your local dealer. If not, then taking it to a reputable foreign shop might be cheaper or you can at least have them track down the source of the transmission failures. I'd compare the shop vs. dealer warranty since most of us are stuck with our lemons.It's really your call, but best of luck in whichever you choose!!!

Replying to: laws65 (May 30, 2009 6:58 pm) Lisa and all,   The monitor of this forum removed my earlier post regarding a law firm who has expressed interest in the xc90 transmission issue. It is against the rules of this forum to include names or addresses. I understand. For those who would like further information to explore legal recourse please see: www.carsurvey.org/reviews/volvo/xc90 where you will find the post I copied here yesterday. See a post on car survey dated Feb. 27, 09.   Also, for anyone whose transmission has been replaced for the first time, be aware, you may experience the same failure in your replacement as I have after only 35,000 miles.   Molly Replies to this message: luvmyvolvo (Jun 01, 2009 12:13 am)

Replying to: verot6 (May 28, 2009 2:12 pm) From my experience, I think Volvo is more likely to participate financially in the repair if the car is at a dealership. You might want to contact Volvo's customer service rep. and have that discussion before moving the car.

Scroll down to Feb. 27th, 2009 and the info is listed below. I haven't contacted an attorney, but hopefully someone can get the ball rolling. Good Luck!!!

Thanks for the link. Let's hope none of us need to use it-but good to know it's there in the event we do.   Lisa
#260 of 422 Left front axle-transmission issue by lindsayn Jun 01, 2009 (6:59 pm)
Hi-I am new to the board as well. I purchased a 2005 T6 a month ago. Yesterday the "Transmission Service-Urgent" message appeared. I had it towed to a dealer. He told me that there is a round ball in the left front axle that has disintegrated and that axle fluid is leaking into the transmission. At this point, he is uncertain whether or not the entire transmission needs to be repaired. He is starting with the front axle and flushing the transmission fluid. He contacted a regional Volvo contact who agreed to pay for the parts ($850). We are stuck with the labor (also $850). He also told me that this may not fix the problem and that the transmission might still need to be replaced. He said that this is tied to the larger T6 transmission issues. Has anyone had luck getting Volvo to pay for labor on a repair like this? If so, what did you do? Thanks very much. It has been very discouraging to have just purchased this car and then to be stuck with all of these problems.

Replying to: luvmyvolvo (May 30, 2009 8:28 pm) Well I towed it to the dealership yesterday. I was told by both Volvo North America & the dealership that there ould be no way they would do anything$$$ until it was diagnosed by them ($240.00 to find out what we all, already know). I will have an answer in a couple of days.   Thanks to all for the continued support we are giving each other. I will also be contacting the law firm who may be putting togehter the class action.....   VeroT6

Feel free to use any of the techniques that I used as well. If the dealership starts pushing on you, push right back and let them know you who you are complaining to and that you won't let up. You shouldn't have to pay for this, not even the diagnosis!   Lisa Replies to this message: verot6 (Jun 02, 2009 1:46 pm)
