Consumer Description

I OWN A 2004 VOLVO XC90 SUV. IN SEPTEMBER 2009 , DURING AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP, THE TRANSMISSION EMERGENCY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON READING "URGENT TRANSMISSION SERVICE REQUIRED". THE VOLVO WAS TAKEN TO A VOLVO DEALER IN MA. AND THE SOFTWARE WAS REPROGRAMMED AND THE VEHICLE CHECKED. THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND I DROVE HOME TO IN. ON JAN. 11, 2010, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND MY VOLVO WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER CHECKED AND SOFTWARE REPROGRAMMED. IN ADDITION, THE VOLVO WAS SLOW TO EXCELLERATE AND A NOISE WAS EVIDENT IN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE, ON JAN. 13, 2010, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON A THIRD TIME AND THE VOLVO IS NOW PARKED AT THE DEALER AWAITING A NEW TRANSMISSION. I THOUGHT A TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSSED TO LAST FOR TEN YEARS. IS THIS NOT TRUE? THEY WILL GIVE ME A NEW TRANSMISSION WITH ONLY A ONE YEAR GUARANTEE. IS THIS FAIR? WAS THERE A DEFECT IN THIS PARTICULAR MAKE / MODEL / YEAR OF VOLVO? *CN
