Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THINKING IT WOULD BE A LIFE LONG VEHICLE CONSIDERING I HAD ALREADY PURCHASED A RELIABLE VOLVO CAR IN THE PAST, THE URGENT SERVICE TRANSMISSION APPEARED AND I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP (BEING THAT THERE IS NO LOCAL DEALERSHIP) AS SOON AS THE MESSAGE APPEARED THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SKIP CONSTANTLY CAUSING A HAZARD, AND THEN CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND I CAME TO FIND THAT MANY OF YOUR XC90 TRANSMISSIONS FAIL AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW VOLVO NORTH AMERICA STANDS BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES IN THESE SITUATIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE BEING A VOLVO OWNER BUT BEING THAT I WILL BE FORCED TO SPEND THOUSANDS ON A DEFECT FROM VOLVO IT WILL MAKE ME THINK TWICE. I HOPE SOMEBODY CAN HELP ME WITH THIS. *TR
