Baffledtxn - Could you tell us which dealership take your XC90 to? I'm going to have to take mine in very soon - it sure would be nice to have a list of other dealerships that have taken care of thier customers.

I have a XC 90 T6 and the transmission needs to be replaced. I am out of warranty at 76K miles. After going back and forth with the service rep, my volvo dealer has indicated that I would need to pay for the labor at approximately $1800. Could those who have been able to pay less or get their service rep to cover a higher amount please let us know what your rep did to get Volvo to pick up the cost?

1. I believe we would all help each other more if we would include the name and location of the Dealer we are working with. Certainly if any of us use the same Dealer it would be helpful. For reference, I am still without problems at 90K and my Dealer is Volvo of Calabasas in Calabasas CA.
 
2. To clarify some mis-information, all of the 2003 and 2004 T6 AWD XC90's (and some of the 2005's) had transmissions made by GM. This was not a secret and was disclosed in the technical sales literature.
 
3. Investigation into how Volvo is handling this issue indicates that all replacement transmissions are apparently a new design from Japan that has a good reliability record
 
Again, if we are going to hold Volvo's feet to the fire and help each other, we need to be a little more complete in our postings.

oldjim3 - good post - I agree we should all be more complete in our postings. Congrats on a trouble free 90k.
 
Can you tell me about your investigation or give specific info on what the transmission is - as least where you learned that it is a Japanese design? I'd like to get more info as I apparently have one of these in my XC90 and I have some doubts about its long-term viability.
 
Thanks

The information about the Japanese replacement transmission came from a Volvo of America representative.

Does anyone at Volvo of America have a name?

The rep surely has a name, but they may prefer not to have their name posted on a public forum like this since that could result in an invasion of their privacy or harassment.

Steve-
I'm just looking for a way to determine the diffference betweeen hearsay & reliable info from Volvo of America.
As a representative of a public company, I would think any "Volvo of America rep" would be happy to talk to any number of Volvo customers. At the very least, I would think, he or she would provide another public contact (if asked).
I think this BB could be very helpful to many Volvo owners trying to persuade Volvo to take care of their tranny issues. The comments would be much more helpful (& credible) if they included specific dates, names, numbers, and/or email addresses.
Don't you agree?

We do have various manufacturer reps posting here now and then. But they are here on their own volition. Posting their names and contact info without their ok will just result in calls to our help desk.
 
Chances are someone from Volvo is reading the threads here on CarSpace and other forums but who knows.
