I am still waiting on a respond after 7 years or more on my Volvo which I had to get rid of. due to serious water coming in from the sunroof. the electrical system shut down in the truck during a trip on west side highway and week i couldn’t use the truck due to bad smell from the water damages.

Believe it or not. I have a 2016 T6 inscription and I’m having transmission issues. Issues with down shifting and on highway stalls sometimes and doesn’t speed as it should. Poor volvo design! I know a few others with the same year and newer with some transmission issues and volvo won’t admit and say it’s normal! The problem keeps going with the newer models! Ridiculous! I’ve went to 3 different dealerships. Problem is getting worse and they are not help instead they’re charging dignoise fees and no resolvement .

I bought a 04 XC90 T6 with the GM 4t65e transmission that failed. The car drives nicely when all is in running order. I took it to the dealer in Orange County Ca and had a terrible experience. They said they would provide me with a loaner car while I had mine serviced for a Fuel pump recall issue. A rental car agent asked me to go with him to fill out the paper work and pick up my loaner car. I had to pay for my “loaner” car on a card. The service was done supposedly. They sent me home with a list of services recommended. The transmission went out a couple thousand miles later. I have spent so much on this piece of crap, from the struts, strut seats (several times, another faulty component) to suspension bushings, engine mounts etc. This thing was driven on highways and roads for it’s 100,000 miles. built to fail comes to mind. What a LEMON!!!! This is my first VOLVO and most likely will be the last, I won’t buy another one especially from VOLVO of Santa Ana, Orange County whatever.

I bought an 06 Volvo XC90 in 2015 first the motor went that was $4,500 then the transmission went that was $2,500 then the second transmission went that was $2,500 now I’m on my third transmission which was $2,500 I bought this car from a small dealership I have no repercussion I paid $13,000 for this car I cannot afford to get rid of it now WTF are you going to do if anyone can get a class action lawsuit should be me either that I am the stupidest person on Earth to buy a Volvo f*** you Volvo

Plz someone let me no I have bought my wife a volvo xc90 2005 8 cylinder and the transmission is messing up in it I spent all my tax money on this vehicle hoping my kids and wife would have a safe vehicle now I cant afford a new transmission I had no idea about this

I have a 2004 Volvo XC90 that’s had 2 transmissions replaced. With just over 150k miles on it now the transmission is starting to slip again. This would be the 4th transmission (original, plus 3 replacements) if I go through with it. If there was initially a faultily designed initial transmission the subsequent replacement should last more than 30k miles. The dealer replaced it the first time under warranty, but the second replacement they required me to pay a large portion. I’ve babied this car – accelerating slowly,etc.,especially after the first replacement. It’s unheard of to have this issue. Our plan was to keep this car in our family as long as possible, but not sure what to do now.

My 2005 XC90 T6 developed a winning noise in the transmission. Took it to a mechanic and he said it was the upper bearing going out. Checked with warranty department and they said I was 500 miles over required maintenance so they won’t cover it. Couldn’t afford to get it fixed so had to continue using. Now it has completely stopped working. Hearing $7000 to replace it. Still owe around 6500 on the car. What can I do if anything??

Am owner of 2003 XC90 with Transmission Problems, Did class action protect all owners of the faulty transmission or just the Attorneys and their clients whom initiated the suit. How do the owners of the vehicles get their due process.

Can anyone tell me how I can get Volvo to replace my trans with this lawsuit. I bought this vehicle with 90,000 miles had an extended warranty for one year. Before the year was up the engine had to be replaced and the trans started to jump and jerk hard. I was told that the computer would adjust to the new motor but never did and it still continues to get worse. PLEASE HELP Thanks

We just bought the Volvo XC90 T6 AWD on 11/14/2017 test drove it hard without incident. We wanted a VOLVO because we both thought they were very reliable and safe vehicles but on 11/19/2017 the transmission service urgent light and check engine light both came on. So we took it to the dealer and they are saying new transmission. I started looking online and found this lawsuit and trying to figure out if ours is covered. We love the car but are stuck wandering if it will have future problems.

I recently purchased a 2006 flawless looking inside and out Xc90 Volvo SUV with approx. 174,000 miles. My wife and I could not believe the immaculate condition of this vehicle. It literally looked as if it was brand new! We both test drove the vehicle and the ride and its steering were also perfect. We bought this car thinking it would be a keeper. We are both now retired and have very little income with SS as our only means of sustainability. Having purchased a brand new Volvo back in the late 90’S with no issue’s and eventually sold. We thought we made a good decision. The car runs perfect at first. Was great running to the local stores or picking up the grandkids from school. We finally had the need to drive a bit longer and on the interstate and that’s when the reality of the transmission issue came to be after about 10 miles or 30 minutes. The 3rd to 4th gear shift would go to a neutral and not engage. I could manually shift to 5th. After a while the transmission light would state we need to service the tranny. Then came the large/loud clunk’s mostly when slowing down. Volvo says I need a new tranny for $6,700.00. Please help… I mentioned the “GOODWILL” PROGRAM HOPING TO GET A BREAK/DISCOUNT but they said we did not qualify…… Volvo knowingly allows this vehicle to be sold to other non suspecting honest folks without feeling any responsibility to right a wrong! This is unacceptable! As we got caught up in the recession which nearly ruined our lives thru no fault of ours….. We have limited income. I look for some help in getting Volvo to own up to their responsibility for allowing this vehicle to stay on the road without fully addressing the problem’s they were aware of from the get go. You know this was very wrong…corp. greed is at play here! Very sad! Even allowing a special discount for people who have got caught up in this be scam when buying as a used vehicle would have helped… Please help us.

I was scammed and purchased a VOLVO XC90 with these transmission problems. Rough up-shift and downshift 1-2, 2-3, and 5-6th gear. Everyone knows that it is a defective transmission on a >50,000 automobile and something should be done. It is dangerous and could/probably has cost life and injury. A class action lawsuit should be filed to fix all the defective transmissions and mileage and model should not be a factor. They are defective and that is known by every mechanic that you ask!!!!!!!!!!

2004 XC90 Falling apart

Just bought it and figure out transsmission slips did research and found out that this car is piece of shit people getting trapped just because of big name..and throwing there money because they have no choice

I bought my 2004 XC90 T6 at a dealership in town. The car originally only had the indicator on that service was required for the traction control. I took it in to the dealership, they told me to take it to a Volvo dealership so I did. They told me the connector cord to my rear dem pump is out and it will cost $3300 ($300 for the cord and if that doesn’t work then the additional $3000). I couldn’t afford it so I am ignoring that because it’s half the price I am paying for the car. They want an additional $1000 to fix the 6 disc CD changer in the car. I didn’t fix that. Plus my sunroof leaks and I hear that was a known problem as well.Today my indicator came on that transmission service is urgently needed. I no longer have the warranty of course, not to mention that the place I bought it from is now out of business. I got Volvo because they are supposed to be good cars, but now I feel like I am trapped in a money pit. I can’t afford to pay more than my car costs in repairs! I only just read about the recalls, can I still get help from them?!

I have a 2004 Xc90 with only 147,000km. I thought I purchased a top quality vehicle….wrong! The transmission has failed and will only drive in manual on 3 or 4th gear. I brought it to Volvo who will replace the transmission for $9000…more than the car is worth. I can’t afford a new transmission or buy a new car. After doing some research I see the GM transmission was faulty…I contacted Volvo (corporate Canada) and they denied my request for support to replace. This seems like Volvo’s fault and is very dangerous. Any suggestions on how I can get them to help with the repair/replacement of my transmission? I will never buy a Volvo again.

I have a 2007 S40 Sunroof was leaking after purchase. I was told turn on exhaust. After 5 years it was raining water, they told me I needed a new sun roof. I did get it paying $700.00. I’m a senior now it is raining again in my car. I called ?Volvo they will not return my calls. Why should I have to pay for a defect in the car? I purchased Volvo because I thought it was a good car. I have almost 40 thousand miles on it. I want to sell & buy a cheaper car. But who would buy it now? IS THIS SENIOR ABUSE?

In June 2015 my wife and I purchased a 2004 Volvo XC90 T6 since the day we bought the car we haven’t stop putting money on the vehicle. We started needing to replace the timing belt ($841.45), right after we had issues with the car’s computer and was reprogrammed ($133.00) the issue continued and we needed to replace the car’s computer ($1217.33). a little after that we had problems with the passenger front axle shaft and needed to be replace ($275.98) we had another issue with the sunroof drainage and also was replace ($1133.11). Lastly three weeks ago the transmission started to slip and fail, we took the car once again to the dealer and now the car needs a new transmission (estimated on the $7000 range). the car recently pass the 102.000 miles, we already spend more than half of what the car is currently worth and with the transmission issue we could buy a newer car. At this point we really don’t know what to do, we recently heard about the 2013 lawsuit and we started to wonder if there is anything that it can be done.

XC90 2005 we were just told transmission needs to be replaced. WE ARE IN SHOCK! We just found out about recall. What is our option? Someone please help

About 2 years ago I purchased what I call the money pit. Soon after I purchased my (new to me) 2006 Volvo XC90 the problems started. I didn’t do my homework on the car and have paid a dearly. Everything from the computer mother board, radiator and now the transmission needs to be replaced or rebuilt. It has less then 100,000 miles and I don’t know what to do at this point. Help :/

My 18 year old granddaughter’s “new to her” with 80,000 miles on it needs a new transmission. Is there any recourse with Volvo at this point? This is a disaster for Her!

My fiance and I just recently bought a used 2005 xc90 t6. Less than thirty days after the purchase our check transmission light came on. We took it to a mechanic who told us that the transmission needed to be rebuilt or replaced immediately. The total cost around $5,500. We are in no position to pay that kind of money and we have only one vehicle now. The dealership we got the car from is not willing to help at all. What do we do? I feel like we have fallen victims to the Volvo Corp and there is nothing we can do about it. Please help us!

My 02 volvo c70 has 105.000 miles I changed transmission fluid at 104 and the check engine light came on right after and has been shifting weird. I took for a diagnostic they said bad transmission. Please help.

I purchased my XC90 right out of the showroom in 2005 in Tempe,AZ whenever I had a problem I would take it in and since it was under warranty everything was taken care of. I did an extended warranty and it ran out in Dec 2015 and now I am suspecting that my transmission is going and I had it in the Phoenix Volvo shop prior for another issue and that’s when they dropped the transmission to get to the motor part and since then I started having problems with a thud on occasion 5X now in approx 6 wks time. Now I see that there was a law suit and now warranty and my vehicle has 77,000 miles this is so upsetting and I have taken care of the vehicle. Is there anything that can be done if it is the transmission now ?????????????

To Rob – In 2004 I custom ordered a 2005 Volvo XC-90, within a year the car was making a clunking noise in the front end. Volvo dealer had it for over six weeks and told me I should be glad I had a whole new front end! I said no, I spent over $50k on a car that has major problems less than a year. They never actually figured out what was wrong with the car.Had to put 3 sets of tires on the car and then the transmission went out not once but twice with less than 50,000 miles on it. I got rid of the car in 2010. It was just too much maintenance for a car I thought I would have forever. My suggestion would be to get rid of it. I wish I would have known about the class action lawsuit Good luck

I bought my 2004 XC90 T6 awd from a dealer in Santa Monica CA. all recommended service work and maint has been performed at a dealer in Culver City CA. In 2013 the transmission went out with 50 K miles. Volvo Cars N.A. paid for the replacement including the radiator, all cooling linetc. under their “good will ” program, no out of pocket expense to me. In Dec 2015 i tok it in and had several items of maint done including front suspension, and some motor work, the car was stalling upon acceleration, they told me there was oil buildup in parts and a bunch of other crap. they also said the radiator was bad. When I questioned them they said it was out of warranty and since it was paid for in good will program i had to buy new radiator $6100 later to took the car home after three weeks. The next day the “anti-skid” warning light came on, after another week in the shop they said the sensor was failing- ANother 1000, which i did not do. within one week of having it back, a pop noise was heard and a low growling sound was coming from the front end, Towed into dealer and after two weeks they told me it was the angle gear- a $4000 expense. after negotiation with Volvo , NA they agreed to pay for the part and i had to pay the 2100 labor. i agreed. another two weeks goes by and they tell me the angle gear is replaced but now the transmission is making a noise and Volvo will pay the 4700 to replace less a 1000 deductible. I think something is seriously fishy here…. PLEASE HELP ME> i dont have this kind of money and they want an answer now.

Owner of 2007 XC90, I have had issues with my vehicle shortly after 2 years of owning it. When I complained to the service department that my car was not shifting properly I was told severe different things in the 2 years from my original complaint. I was told, “it’s not a sports car”, “It is not throwing a code, so we don’t know what it is”, and “your VIN # is 3 months out from the valve body transmission issues that were detected in your model, so we can’t help you”. Almost 3 years of dealing with it getting worse and having to have my extended warranty company get involved, I finally found someone outside of volvo service department inform me that it was indeed a transmission issue, had it replaced, and never felt the hard jolting shift again. However, I am now told that, due to the many years of the stress that the jolting was placing on the vehicle, I need new engine mounts. The car sounds slowly over time has gradually gotten louder and sounds like the car is running without oil. (hard to describe sound). This is very frustrating to me mainly because I was having the issue with the transmission well before my primary warranty was up and that I basically paid for a new transmission because it was close to the same price my extended warranty was for it. A few years later, when I have this discussion with the service department, I’m told that, “unfortunately we are a small company and it’s hard to ever get volvo to take care of these types of issues because it wouldn’t be cost effective”. With that being said, I guess Volvo doesn’t mind staying small due to the fact no one has really anything good to say about them. I will never buy another Volvo. It was the worst experience. It’s a shame that even with all of the complaints, they can get away with not having to take responsibility for major parts like a transmission. I have read that some owners have been in life threatening situations over this transmission issue. How is this possible?!!

Owner of 2003 XC90 purchased from factory in Sweden in 2003. Vehicle has been maintained to the utmost. Approx 120000 miles on a 13 year old vehicle. Has had a new dashboard computer system installed, radiator replaced and now needs transmission repairs. Never contacted or made aware of the recalls and after the vehicle has been paid off and 8k invested in repairs I want VOLVO to take responsibility!

I had a 2002 volvo c70 with less than 78000 miles on it. I had just had the transmission serviced with a flush and fill by a volvo specialist in Woodbridge VA. After servicing, the transmission began slipping and acting badly. Three days later I was involved in an accident which totaled the vehicle with terrible front end damage. The passenger side airbag deployed with no passenger but the driver side airbag did not deploy! I wish to speak to someone about legal recourse in this matter. Thank you for your consideration. My name is Jason Pilgrim

I bought a 2006 XC90 in 08/2013 it current let has 111568 miles, I’m the second owner. The transmission service light just came up, I think the transmission went bad, I have done some research and found out that VOLVO was sued because this type of VOLVOS where built to fail. I need some help.
