Description of the problem | At 92k miles, the dealership broke the news on april 15, 2008, about seeing large chunks of metal shavings when changing my transmission fluid with my 2003 volvo xc90. I got a bill for $7500 (new tranny, new radiator, lines including labor), but dealership agreed to pay 60% after relentless complaints and directing them to below discussion forum on ongoing xc90 transmission failures http://townhall-talk. Edmunds. Com/webx/. F18a651/14?@160. Oa6tamkcgp0@ regardless, i'm obviously extremely disappointed paying, considering my xc90 is less than 5 years, and have been consistent with my regular maintenance. My biggest concern is the safety of my 2 small children (3 & 5 yrs old), who we take to school daily. Volvo touts 'volvo for life' and strong safety capabilities. This is not the case. |
