Description of the problem	I purchase a used volvo xc90 on 12/17/2010 for my son with a registered 104,555 miles. On 12/29/2010 the transmission went out. I got a couple different estimates from $5,000 to $7,000 to repair or replace. After discussing with the automotive technician, i found out that volvo has had a slew of problems relating to the 03,04 & 05 xc90 especially with transmission problems. I was totally disappointed because i purchase this vehicle based on volvo reputation and the car reliability and due to the fact that i have a 2000 volvo s80 and have had it since 2000 and have had few problems. Although, my son wanted to purchase another vehicle, i steered him towards the volvo. Thinking that since a vehicle (especially a volvo) shouldn't experience this type of transmission problem with relatively low mileage, i contacted volvo north america and told them of my plight and requested that they pay for the repair or at least pay for a portion of the repair and they flatly denied my request. I am totally disappointed in volvo for not honoring and standing behind their product, remember i bought this vehicle based on their reputation for building a sound reputable vehicle, although my son wanted to purchase another vehicle. My confidence in this company has been totally shattered. And to think that i was planning on replacing my 2000 s80 with another volvo this summer.
