2003 Volvo XC90 T6 AWD review from North America
"Buyer beware of the XC90"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, we just became members of the XC90 failed transmission club! The "urgent transmission service" required light came on. We were told by the dealership that we need to replace the transmission and front left axle. Our CPO warranty has expired. We called Volvo North America and expressed our expectation that Volvo pay for the repairs. They said they will contact the dealer and let us know something within 2 days. I'll post the outcome when we hear something. If we don't get a favorable outcome, we will contact the media and try to get this issue on the news. It is really unacceptable that there has not been a recall for this problem.
