2004 Volvo XC90 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went at 62,000 miles. Drove it into the dealer with a bad noise. They did a test drive and blew up the transmission within an hour, and called me and said the $6K would fix the problem. Most of my previous repairs at the dealer took a few visits to get fixed properly.
I had it towed to a place that fixes transmissions, not just puts in rebuilt ones, and had it fixed for $3K.
I loved the car, but am really not sure why the tranny went so soon. May buy another Volvo, but definitely not at that dealer.
General comments?
Definitely love the ride, comfort, and performance of the XC-90. Very disappointed that it failed in this way.
