Consumer Description

WE ARE OWNERS OF A 2004 VOLVO XC90 T6 AWD AND HAVE EXPERIENCED A TRANSMISSION FAILURE THAT WILL COST $6500 TO REPLACE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, WE HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE TRANSMISSIONS FAILING YET VOLVO HAS FAILED TO STEP UP AND ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. IN OUR CASE, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR, IN TRAFFIC, WHEN THE CAR SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN! LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OFF ON THE SHOULDER BEFORE TRAILING TRAFFIC CAUGHT UP TO HER, BUT IMAGINE WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED IF SHE WASN'T ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! VOLVO KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM AND SHOULD DO SOMETHING SO THAT 1) NO SERIOUS INJURIES COME FROM THIS FAILURE, AND 2) TO COMPENSATE THE VOLVO OWNERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE HAD TO SHELL OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIR COSTS FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE!! *TR
