2004 Volvo XC90 review from North America
"Good reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I love Volvos. This is my second one.
I had the timing belt changed this year. A week ago the dealership changed the oil and replaced a bearing in the front. My car started leaking oil afterward. I brought it back up to the dealership and they said the cam and crank seals are leaking and need to be replaced. They also want to change the timing belt again because they said it's no good if oil leaks on it. Does this sound right? The cost-$715.00 plus tax.
General comments?
My XC90 doesn't turn as sharp as my 240 wagon. However, it's runs well and I have over 148000 miles on it. I drive my car a lot.
I am having more repairs sooner than my wagon. The bulbs for the lights burn out faster too.
