2003 Volvo XC90 T6 review from North America
"Not very impressed with transmission problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought the car on Sunday March 9th. The wife and I really liked it and were happy with it until Friday March 14th when she called me on the ride home from work saying the car is not working properly. All of a sudden the "transmission service urgent" message popped up. She was only 1 mile form home when this happened. She made it home and called the dealer, had it towed and received a call Monday the 17th saying the transmission is shot and you need a new one. We put less than 200 miles on it. I am happy it is still under warranty but now considering selling it back to them and getting something else.
General comments?
Like the layout and interior design. Love the cargo room and handles well.
