general problems of the 2005 Volvo XC90

Tl the contact owns a 2005 Volvo Xc90. Ever since the vehicle was purchased in November of 2018, there had been several electrical failures. The headlights, power door locks, and power rearview mirror failed to operate. Also, the transmission caused the vehicle to jerk and stall while driving. The contact took the vehicle to an unknown Volvo dealer, but they refused to provide diagnostic testing and stated that there was no recall or warranty coverage on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 14,042.

4x4 awd system is not working, car spinning with the front wheels,very dangerous in winter time. Angle gear sleeve which is stripped out. Very common problem with Xc90 2. 5t. Parts and labor close to 1000. 00.

Known transmission defect with this model has manifested itself in my vehicle. Car began lurching when accelerating and transitioning into the next gear while attempting to merge onto a busy interstate highway. Dealer diagnosed the problem and states that the transmission needs to be replaced. Apparently Volvo has acknowledged this defect with the power-train and in 2012 agreed to settle a class action lawsuit with regards to this problem. This fact however only impacts those who previously paid to have this problem fixed. Still no recall regarding this potentially hazardous issue for those currently impacted. All vehicles equipped with their original transmissions need to be recalled (2003, 2004 and 2005).

At 111,000 thousand miles the counter balance shaft bearing went inside the motor. I did a little research on line and found out that it is a design problem, that Volvo knows about. It could cost any where from $5000. 00 to $15000. 00. I believe that they should be forced to do a recall for this known problem, and help there customers with the repairs. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Volvo knows the v8 engine on the 2005 Xc90 is faulty. Specifically, the counterbalance shaft bearing failing due to water intrusion. Fortunately mine failed while at idle. Unfortunately the entire engine is now seized up and my otherwise clean car is a large and useless paperweight. If this were to happen while the car is moving at speed, it could cause a horrible accident. Unless Volvo actively finds the remaining engines in service and fixes this problem, it remains a risk regardless of the mileage. Appropriately, they should also reimburse anyone who was affected by this problem since they learned of it back in 2005.

The transmission in this vehicle is slipping. Trying to pass a car on the highway and could not get the car into gear. Note: the VIN # [xxx] - but I can't validate it on this form but it is the correct number. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The trains has gone and it only has 66,000 miles on it cost to fix $ 5500. 00.

I have a 2005 Volvo Xc90 t6. Bought this car brand new. Had so many problems including transmission out; the blinkers do not work. The quality and safety of this vehicle is misleading and this is a horrible safety issue since blinker don't work. Looking into it, seems like this is an ongoing issue with many owner of Volvo Xc90 2005. They really need to recall this before it's too late and cause fatalities.

I have the ill fated Xc90 t6. . . Like clockwork at 53000 miles the dreaded transmission service urgent light comes on. . . . Now I am supposed to fork over 7000 bucks for a completely defective transmission!.
