2004 Volvo XC90 xc90 review from North America
"Not good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My car is three years old. We replaced transmission at 1,500 miles, under warranty when car came to a complete stop while driving on freeway with my two young children. The second transmission had to be replaced last month, and the car was no longer under warranty although the service department was great about working with us and getting Volvo to replace as a one time good gesture. My fear is that the transmission will go out again and at $4,400 repair on top of the safety concerns, I think it is time to just walk away and never own a Volvo again. Sadly, because I was so excited about their reputation for safety and believed this would be the perfect car for our family. There have also also been multiple other service issues with worn tires, brakes, etc.
