Description of the problem | The volvo xc90 t6 model has a significant safety issue with the transmission. My 2003 xc90 t6 with less than 65k miles on it had the transmission fail. I was driving down a limited access highway (hwy100 in minneapolis) when the transmission failed. I could not drive over 30 mph on this fast moving highway. In researching this problem, it is painful clear that this model has an extensive history of transmission failures. Time and time again t6 owners are having to replace transmissions sometimes twice with less than 120k miles on their vehicles. Volvo is not stepping up to take responsibility. It is going to take an accident or god forbid injury or death for them to acknowledge this problem. |
