2004 Volvo XC90 review from North America
"Volvo has lost me as a customer on this transmission problem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering Rack - Replaced under warranty.
Transmission - out of warranty @ 91,000 km.
General comments?
Transmission just blew for no reason. We drive the car properly and never abuse it. Transmission just fell apart and is now at the dealer with a $7,000 estimate. They're either going to have to fix it under a good will gesture as we are just over the 80,000 km warranty level, but under 4 years, or we're taking it to a transmission specialist that we know and will get it rebuilt and trade it in for something better built.
