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)

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 452 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)

Replying to: beth36093 (May 27, 2009 9:21 am) The XC 90 is a great car, but heed the advise of buy a 206 or later model. I posted on here back in November of 2008, when I had to put my second tranny in the car. The first one went our at 61000, and at that time I was told by the mechanic that is was a design flaw in the car. The T6 (which is the turbo) engine puts to much torque on the tranny, which is a GM product and only a 4 speed. At the 67,000 mark I had to put in the second tranny. Now I was luck b/c my car was still under warranty. This time I was told that the first tranny, which was put in by a Volvo dealership, was done incorrectly. When they put the new tranny in they are suppose to change out the radiator coolant hose also, b/c metal shavings can get in there and the tranny is cooled by this. The service I got at both locations was exceptional, but the car is flawed and there is really nothing that can be done to fix it except keep putting in trannys. I also wrote to Volvo corporate who contacted me but gave me no satisfaction. I also lodged a complaint with the NTSB. So bottom line don't buy a XC90 T6 and you will be ok. Good luck.   Mike
