2004 Volvo XC90 T6 review from North America
"Most expensive piece of junk ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tie Rods - three times, ready for a fourth
Cam Shaft Replaced
2 Valves Replaced
Wheel Bearing replaced
Stero has a mind of its own, still does not work properly
Head Gasket Replaced
Manifold Gasket Replaced
The antenna does not accommodate the stereo/tv/gps. So you have to adjust to lower quality in order for the stereo to receive reception. And there are other problems mentioned above regarding the stereo.
The brakes are making noise again.
My average mpg is now at 15.6
The GPS will just start operating on its own.
The head liner has come undone. The carpet has come undone twice
The interior floor lights do not always shut off when lit on the approach of vehicle.
A speaker has been replaced.
General comments?
When running correctly I truly enjoy the vehicle. But seldom does said vehicle not have an issue.
The dealership has been reluctant to call this car a lemon and for an additional $11,000.00 offered to get me in a 2006. I said, "No." The then agreed to extend the warranty to 6 years 100,000 miles, but that was over a month ago and I still have not seen any paperwork regarding the same.
I have no plans to ever purchase another Volvo.
