3 Transfer Case problem of the 2003 Volvo V70

Failure Date: 01/19/2006

When we brought our 2003 Volvo xc V70 wagon into the dealer at 62,000 miles we complained about a loud whirring noise as we drove it. We were told that the technician was unable to repeat it and not to worry. When we brought it back at 69,000 for an oil change we were told there was a loud whirring noise that meant we needed a wheel bearing replaced. So we made another appointment to have that changed. To make a long story short, at that visit we were told to have each wheel bearing replaced and we were told the angle gear was stripped and also needed to be replaced. I had to have the wheel bearing replaced on my old Mazda 323 when it had about 70,000 miles on it so I know it is a big deal. How can it be that we needed all 4 wheel bearings replaced at the same time? how did they miss it at the earlier checkup? were the wheel bearings the reason we needed the angle gear replaced as well? is this a common problem with these Volvos xc wagons? this was very expensive, should we have to pay all the costs?.
