Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION (WITHOUT WARNING) IN MY 2003 VOLVO XC90 T6 WENT OUT (NO REVERSE & WONT SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR). IT IS AN AUTOMATIC. THERE ARE MANY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM IT HAS BEEN INDEPENDENTLY DIAGNOSED AS A DEFECT WITH THE PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION THAT VOLVO CHOOSE TO PUT IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE. MOST OWNERS HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALERS THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE FOR THEM (MOST PROBLEMS OCCUR BETWEEN 40 - 60,000 MILES & ARE OUT OF WARRANTY) EXCEPT SELL THEM A NEW OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION (APPROX. $5,000). MY VEHICLE HAS 75K MILES & I HAVE MY VEHICLE AT A REPAIR SHOP WAITING TO SEE WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TWO MECHANICS THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR
