2004 Volvo XC90 review from North America
"I am very disappointed in Volvo and will be looking into a class action lawsuit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water damage from a defective water valve.
Transmission went at 60,000 miles.
General comments?
My husband ordered my 2004 Volvo XC90 from Sweden in 2003. It was delivered during the summer of 2003. I have had several major problems with the truck starting with water damage as a result of a faulty duct system back in 2005. My truck had a terrible mildew odor. The entire bottom of the truck was flooded and took two weeks to dry out and fix. Luckily it was still under warranty. Since that time, whenever it rains, I get that same awful mildew smell.
About two months ago, my transmission light came on and about a month ago, it started to slip. Now I am in need of a new transmission. My car is no longer under warranty and Volvo gave me a quote of $6,000 to fix.
I think this is absolutely ridiculous. I have been the owner of two Honda's and two Toyota's all purchased certified pre-owned and never had as many problems as I’ve had with my brand new XC90.
After reading so many comments about the XC90 transmission issues, this is definitely grounds for a class action law suit. There should have been some sort of recall.
Let get a CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT started.
