An update to odi #10068267 regarding right rear wheel bearing failure. This failure originally occurred at 22k miles. Another failure occurred in may 2006 (same wheel) at 52k miles. I refused to pay for the repair which was over $250. Eventually negotiated paying 50% of the labor at dealer cost (about $60) with Volvo picking up the cost of the part. Was told later by a different dealer service representative that 'wheel bearing failures are frequent on the Xc90' and that 'the part is not robust enough for the size of the vehicle'.

My Volvo Xc90 continues to have a loud knocking noise while driving. After 4 trips to the dealership, where problems were verified with the axle, the splines, the brake pads and brake calipers, the car still knocks!! I feel very unsafe driving it! Volvo corporate has been no help.
