Consumer Description

WE OWN A 2005 VOLVO XC90 AND IT HAS 54K MILES ON IT. WE HEARD A WHINING SOUND FROM THE REAR AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE REAR HUB BEARINGS NEED TO BE CHANGED. WE WERE NOT CONVINCED AND TOOK IT TO OUR AUTO MECHANIC WHO WORKS ON OUR AVALON, HE LOOKED AT IT AND AFTER SPENDING 5HRS ON IT CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT WAS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WE WENT BACK TO THE VOLVO DEALER AND ASKED HIM TO CHECK AGAIN AND SAID IT MAY BE THE TRANSMISSION. THEY CAME BACK AND SAID YES IT IS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE PRICE TAG WAS FOR $5200. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM WITH ALL THE XC90'S. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY NEVER KNOWING WHEN OUR TRANSMISSION WILL GIVE WAY. *TR
