#343 of 437 Re: volvo stepped up for me [619sdbolts] by yurko Aug 13, 2009 (5:20 am)
Replying to: 619sdbolts (Aug 11, 2009 8:27 pm) Good to hear your outcome. Maybe this is the start of a new policy on the part of Volvo.   You state Volvo "is stepping up if you have 60K miles or so, they are picking up the entire cost."   QUESTION: Did you have to go through the hassle and delays of formal complaints (as mentioned by others in this forum), or was this handled smoothly between your Volvo dealer and Volvo USA -- as it should have been?   Did you get any feedback from your dealer or Volvo on whether Volvo is thinking of replacing tranny's on vehicles that haven't failed yet?   Thanks.

Replying to: yurko (Aug 13, 2009 5:20 am) Hi,   I'm the one who started all these complaints, let my dealer where I purchased my car know I would make more of a stink if I had to. They then let the local Volvo dealer know and low and behold had it taken care of for free, after paying hundreds for a tranny flush that I shouldn't have had to had done. I've tried selling my car to no avail, and wonder if I have any chance to pay off my loan if I trade it in.....   Lisa Replies to this message: baudel (Aug 24, 2009 9:22 am)
#345 of 437 ANOTHER VOLVO XC90 T6 Tranny problem by bigbirda Aug 16, 2009 (1:25 am)
Greeetings all, very thankful to have a forum like this one to share the pain. Purchased new 2004 xc90 in Dec2003. Loved the car. Had to replace the transmission under warranty at ~36k mi. Now has 73k & needs another one. A car shouldn't be needing a new tran, let alone now a 3rd. After some delay, Volvo agreed to replace the tran, but nothing else (cooling lines, etc.. as they found no radiator chemical or metal in the pan). I like the car, but the reliability and cost of ownership has me greatly concerned on whether to rid this lemon. I intended to at least keep it 10yrs, but at this rate don't think that's a possibility. The dealership has been good to work w/ and luckily is only a mile from my home. They have provided a loaner as well after waiting for a wk. It appears that these tranny's are on back-order and I'm looking at ~2wks. Thanks again for the posts.   _Mike

Replying to: recall5 (Mar 28, 2008 3:04 am) I am reading this forum today. I am to pick up my Volvo XC90. First time, a service and diagnostic ($450) but told them I was having problem with it not going in gear after a stop. After picking it up, the red ! light kept continued coming on when I got it back. When I would go to pass or pull out, it would not "go" and it was stuck in gear. then it would roar forward. This presented a driving danger so I called the service manager and told him I was afraid to drive back to the dealership (50 miles away.) I had to rent a car for 9 days as I was going on vacation. After picking up again, it did it again. I asked them to tow the car in. They called and said it was the transmission. That Volvo was going to pay for it since 2003 with only 65,000 miles. I just thought this was grand! It has been 3 weeks. It is ready but I told him that the blower motor on the AC/ Heat has made a roaring noise since I had the car. He said it would be $1400 and to just wait for it to go out. I also, notice an extremely hot dashboard since I had it. Just thought it might be the radio. I have now heard of many stories of people with this same car, having the same issues. One told me he had to have 4 transmissions put in his XC90! Please advise as I will be seeing the serviceman this week.

Replying to: recall5 (Mar 28, 2008 3:04 am) Hello recall5. Count me in on the no cost recall transmission fix. I too have a 2004, XC90 T6 AWD. Bought it used 1 yr ago at 94K. Now it's at 126K and what a lot of trips to the dealer and a local mechanic who knows and works with Volvo cars,suvs etc. Recently my daughter called me from 1 hr. away and said the "transmission in need of urgent service" message came on. Towed to the dealer(a big$ one) and got the tragic, but apparently, all too common news: need a complete tranny replacement for the estimated cost of $7950.00 (Cdn) !!Arrrrrgggghhhhh!!!! There are too many other problems to mention in detail: *constant battery drain, and subsequent issues related, *costly tows to dealer and local mechanic, *replaced key ignition cartridge (it actually began seizing up...wear and tear?! joking? *replace tie rods as a result of too many tows, *transmission slippage *now apparently needing a full transmission replacement!!   I drove a lowly 1993 Camry LE problem-free for 16 blissful years prior to purchasing my, "Volvo for life" upgrade I finally laid it to rest after the tranny failed at 400,000 kms. I never knew I had it so good; and you won't either until you buy a Volvo I'm presently waiting on Volvo Canada to address my latest tranny issue. Please keep me posted. Have you addressed Sweden Volvo directly about your problems? Maybe there's some hope there. Cheers, WasagaBeach, CDA Please keep me posted

#349 of 437 XC90 TRANS by samservice Sep 02, 2009 (11:34 am)
I run an independent service center and have seen many of these xc90's in need of transmissions. I have referred the owners back to the local volvo dealer seeking assistance. The results have been beyond their expectations. Volvo has replaced the transmission, radiator, oil cooler and lines in all cases at no charge. The only issue has been the wait since there was a problem with inventory. Replies to this message: brig4 (Sep 02, 2009 1:08 pm)

Replying to: samservice (Sep 02, 2009 11:34 am) Does there seem to be anything that can be done with these Transmissons that will help get a little longer life out of them. From all the posts that I have read it looks like a Trans flush is a big No No.        Also do the failures seem to occur with a particular engine, or is it happening with all the differant engines sizes.
