Summary:
I HAVE A 2004 VOLVO XC90. AT APPROXIMATELY 52K MILES, THE XC90 1ST GENERATION TRANSMISSION WENT BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. CARLSEN VOLVO (PALO ALTO, CA) AGREED TO COVER THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE AND WENT ON MY WAY. IN DECEMBER 2010 AT ~107,000K MILES, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO HESITATE & FUNCTION ERRATICALLY WHILE DRIVING. WITHIN AFEW DAYS, THE CAR WAS PARKED AT MY HOME, AND WAS UNABLE TO ENGAGE IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. I TOWED THE CAR IN; IT WAS DIAGNOSED W/ INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT SHE WOULD TALK TO THE FACTORY REP REGARDING COMPENSATION. THE DEALER REP CALLED VOLVO N.A. REP, WYATT, WHO OFFERED TO PAY FOR THE PARTS (~$3,500) BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LABOR(~$1,500). MY HUSBAND COUNTERED THAT WE WOULD LIKE THE WHOLE THING PAID FOR SINCE IT WAS WELL KNOWN FACTORY DEFECT. WHEN WYATT HEARD OF OUR COUNTER OFFER, HE NOT ONLY DENIED THIS, BUT SIMPLY STATED THAT THE DEAL WAS OFF THE TABLE, PERIOD. THE NEXT DAY, I RECONSIDERED AND ASKED THE SERVICE REP TO CALL WYATT AGAIN WITH OUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE INITIAL DEAL. WYATT REFUSED TO PUT THE DEAL BACK ON THE TABLE AND SAID WE SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OURSELVES. THEN CALLED VOLVO CUSTOMER CARE WHO DOCUMENTED THE COMPLETE STORY,CONTACTED WYATT VIA EMAIL TO AGAIN. HOWEVER, WYATT REFUSED. APPARENTLY BECAUSE I HAVE CHOSEN IN THE PAST TO HAVE A PERSONAL MECHANIC SERVICE MY CAR, CHANGE THE OIL AND TIRES, ETC. I AM CONSIDERED TO BE A “DISLOYAL VOLVO CUSTOMER” AND THIS WAS A CONSIDERATION IN WYATT’S DECISION NOT TO PAY FOR MY TRANSMISSION, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART. AT THIS POINT, I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR BACK, AND TOLD CARLSEN TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. CARLSEN OFFERED A 10% DISCOUNT OFF THE TOTAL PRICE. A VERY KIND GESTURE, HOWEVER, I HAD TO PAY $4,600 OUT OF POCKET FOR ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION FOR THIS CAR. IT’S WELL DOCUMENTED THAT THE 1ST AND 2ND GENERATION TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS MODEL HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE. I AM DISGUSTED. *LN

Summary:
AFTER DRIVING 125 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT, WE LEFT OUR 2004 VOLVO XC 90 T6 AWD PARKED FOR 4 HOURS BEFORE DRIVING AGAIN. AFTER LESS THAN A HALF MILE AT LOW SPEED, THERE WAS A “THUMP” FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR, THE WIPERS CYCLED, THE GAUGES ALL WENT BLANK, SOME OF THE WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING, THE A/C WENT OUT (BLOWER STAYED ON). THE CAR STAYED ON, BUT SEEMED “STUCK” IN SECOND GEAR AND THE BRAKES BECAME “SPONGY,” BUT OPERABLE. TURN SIGNALS WERE INOPERABLE AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE GEAR SHIFT WENT OUT AND THE CENTRAL LOCKING SYSTEM STOPPED FUNCTIONING. WE GOT OUT OF TRAFFIC AND INTO THE SHADE. I CHECKED ALL FUSES AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. IT WOULD RESTART, BUT WITHIN SECONDS THERE WERE MULTIPLE “CLICKS” COMING FROM THE AREA NEAR THE FUSE BOX IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FOLLOWED BY THE ELECTRICAL FAILURES DESCRIBED ABOVE. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS WE MOVED IT TO A SECURE LOCATION TWO MILES AWAY. DURING THAT DRIVE ALL OF THE ABOVE PROBLEMS HAPPENED AGAIN, INCLUDING THE ENGINE BEING “STUCK” IN SECOND GEAR. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT OVERNIGHT, IT STARTED AND RAN WITHOUT INCIDENT. HOWEVER, THE “CHECK ENGINE” LIGHT AND THE “SRS” LIGHT HAVE REMAINED ON. A REPAIR SHOP COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THE SAME THINGS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE IN THE SAME CAR. THE SYMPTOMS LASTED A FEW SECONDS AND DISAPPEARED. *TR
