Consumer Description

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION/SHAKING IN THE DRIVE TRAIN OF A V8 ENGINE XC90 DURING LIGHT/MODERATE ACCELERATION (SEVERE SHAKING DURING FULL THROTTLE ACCELERATION). ACCORDING TO A NUMBER OF VOLVO DEALER SERVICE ADVISORS, THIS VIBRATION/SHAKING HAS BEEN A 'MAJOR ISSUE' CAUSED BY FAILING RIGHT SIDE FRONT AXLES (350.00) &/OR FAILING TRANSMISSION VALVE BODIES ($3500.00). GIVEN THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR MECHANICAL FLAW ACCORDING TO VOLVO DEALER SERVICE, WHY HASN'T THESE DANGEROUS DRIVE TRAIN ISSUES BEEN ADDRESSED AS A MANDATORY RECALL?? *TR
