Transmission failure at 55,000 miles.
Transmission failure on our 2004 Volvo xc-90 t6 awd at approximately 56,000k miles. Fortunately it was a warranty repair; however my research on automotive discussion boards like edumds indicates a very large pattern of failure of the transmission on this model.
Transmission failure twice and fuel pump replaced and still leaking in our Volvo Xc90 2004 t6 truck. Volvo replaced the transmission twice, but we still had repair costs both times. Fuel pump replaced and still leaking causing large amounts of gas fumes in vehicle. Taking into Volvo to fix fuel pump again today that is covered under the recall but just got it back from 2nd transmission repair where I had to pay for the internal engine leaks that could not be detected that in turn contaminated the 2nd transmission. I do not believe I should have paid $1600 in repairs when it has been serviced and cannot detect these internal oil leaks from the engine. This make and model year has been costly and dangerous. Truck has stopped in the middle of left turn, almost resulting in head on collision. This truck seems to fall under lemon law. We have had problems with this truck since 2007. It has had 2 transmission replacements and now 2 fuel pumps,both Volvo pumps. I should incur zero costs other than oil changes and general maintenance. These are major equipment failures in this Volvo Xc90 t6 2004 and the entire vehicle should be recalled. I will be submitting my repair costs to Volvo north America. Thank you for your review of this in advance.
