Consumer Description

PURCHASED AN '04 VOLVO XC90 T6 ON MAY 1ST FROM A PRIVATE SELLER. DID RESEARCH ON THE VEHICLE THROUGH MSN RELIABILITY, VOLVO, ETC. ONLY ISSUE HIGHLIGHTED WAS ENGINE CONCERNS, NOT TRANSMISSION. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON JUNE 6TH THAT I FOUND NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT AT AROUND 60K MILES. MINE WENT OUT AT APPROX. 57K MILES. I'VE CONTACTED VOLVO AND ASKED ABOUT RECALLS, ETC. AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD'VE DRIVEN MY CAR, OR HAD IT TOWED 40+ MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED TO THEN HAVE IT REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP SO THAT I MIGHT GET A REIMBURSED. ABOUT TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE "TRANSMISSION SERVICE URGENT" MESSAGE ON THE DASH I RECEIVED A "COOLANT LOW STOP ENGINE." I'VE TAKEN MY VOLVO TO A CERTIFIED VOLVO REPAIR SERVICE WHERE THE COST IS GOING TO BE $5,335. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AFTER GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR JUST WOUND. *TR
