Volvo XC90 T6 Transmission

mpmoore · November 2008

I am sorry to hear that. The dealers and various regional reps seem to have a lot of latitude in the deals they are offering to fix this. Some people are getting the whole thing picked up--some are getting it with a modest deductible and some are getting nothing. Mileage and warranty don't seem to be the issue. I am in the process of working with the dealer and the regional rep. I will post what happens.

peppergurl · November 2008

Mine is a 2004 AWD T6

marciar · November 2008

I too thought buying the 2004 xc90 volvo would last me longer than my pontiac mini van (that is still running after 8 years,) but, ....repairs... , tie rods replaced, and now 4 years later the transmission will need work. $4900!! Isn't that amazing that it is the same exact quote as another owner on this forum?
No help from the dealership either. : I will write a letter to Volvo. Thanks for the address. Have you gotten a good repair deal?
And, yes, this will be my last Volvo. :lemon: Buy american!

Milosanta · December 2008

I have a 2004 XC90 T6 with 67,000 miles on it. At 61,000 miles the transmission went out while on a road trip. I subsequently found out that this year and model has a design flaw. That flaw being that the engine with the turbo puts to much torque on the 4 speed transmission. At that time the tran was replaced. At 67,000 miles I have to replace the tran again. I have spoken to Volvo Customer Service, but did not get a boost of confidence from them. Has anyone else had the same problem?

irishcasey · December 2008

Was there any type of warranty associated with the original replacement??

When I had my transmission replaced on my Honda Odyssey, it was warranted for 36 months or 36K miles.

Just a thought.

peppergurl · December 2008

YES!!! I have the exact same year and model Volvo. I replaced my first transmission at 48,000 miles in Jan. 2008. While on my way to vacation in late August, my second transmission went out at 57,000 miles. Volvo paid for parts only the first time. I had to pay for the labor, $1500. The second time, it was under the 12,000/12 month warranty. I got absolutely no where by complaining to Volvo. There are over 40,000 of these vehicles out on the roads in the USA only, the majority of which I have heard have had transmission problems. I wish Volvo would take responsibility for an inferior product that they put out on the market. They have since corrected the problem in later models which the dealership has tried to sell us. Personally, I will never buy a Volvo again

telechicknh · December 2008

We just bought the 2004 XC 90 T6. I had an 03 Outback that got up our driveway with no problems in any weather. We have have 2" of snow and the Volvo can't climb the driveway. When I get stuck, the front tires spin and the back don't. This is an AWD but it's not working like the Outback.

We are completely shocked. This is not at all what we expected. Does the transmission have anything to do with this? The tires are in good shape.

I live in N. New Hampshire. I expect more snow. Help.
Telechicknh :confuse:

qbrozen · December 2008

Bad angle gear.

Not an uncommon problem, and not related to tires or type of transmission.

db2814 · December 2008

Can an angle gear be replaced and where is it located and generally how much is it to fix it. Thanks.

mpmoore · December 2008

I posted a few weeks ago about our 04XC90 transmission failure at 70,000+ miles. After calling NJ and the local dealer Volvo and the dealer agreed to pay all but $200 of the cost to replace the transmission and the cooling system--which is required when there is a transmission failure. However, the problems with the electronics/computer system remain. This problem was brought to their attention when the vehicle had less than 5,000 miles on it--three different service managers have attempted to fix it and all three have been unsuccessful. Each has worked extensively with the factory and said frankly that they have no idea how in can be repaired. They are also refusing to spend anymore time on it--despite their warranty obligations because they a) paid for the new transmission and b) don't know what to do aside from replace all of the control cluster and computer network.

Ford and volvo should be stepping up to make all 04 XC90 owners whole. These are expensive cars that are nothing but unlimited maintenance liabilities. Volvo for Life..???? The 04 XC90 does not even last the life of its payments!

qbrozen · December 2008

Don't know about pricing, but here is info on the unit and how it works, etc.

mailboxspider · December 2008

ya... had to replace my 03XC90 tranny TWICE at like 60 000 something mi (reverse died) and than once more 5k mi after the first change (the first gear was slipping Summer 2008 on a friggin high way entrance, couldn't get the car moving until i stuck it on second!! talk about Volvo for life... my lil' bro was freaking out, he thought i was playing a really really bad joke on him, everyone was hoking and all, i dunno.... hope this current transmission works) the last transmission has been ok tho :sick:

BTW if you get extended warranty, don;t go with wynn or whatever insurance.... THEY SUCK.... i filed in a claim for my transmission and they said "sorry, we can not provide you with all the money because of operational costs, and you have exceeded our limit" WHAT THE HECK.... isn't that what buying the warranty was for, soo when you are in mechanical trouble they bail you out!!! err.... not happy.. not happy (BTW i settled with them so that i could only pay 400 dollar of the 6k)

Milosanta · December 2008

Fortunately I have a Volvo warranty so it has not cost me a dime yet except in lost time and aggrevation. MY mechanic just told me that thay found radiator fluid in my transmission and that was what probably caused the trans to go bad so quickly. I never heard of that, but they are going to change the radiator also. I will probably get rid of the car soon. Have you ever heard of the radiator fluid scenario?

jsdoit · December 2008

XC 90 2nd tranny installed todayXC 90 2nd tranny installed today I'm picking up the car 12/11/08 in the am. .We have a 2004 xc90 and the 1st tranny went before we had 30k miles and the second at 83k. After the first one went we bought the extended warranty. I'm being told that my charge is $1800. I can't review my ext war since its still in the car BUT... if the basic warrenty is 4 years 50k and i purchused the extended warranty for 50k (total 100k)and it must have been for 2 or 3 yrs on the extended why would i be paying anything? I'm in for the class action, even if they pay all i couldn't sell this car or trade it with its history for any more than peanuts which means i own it till its dead and totally worthless. Can i expect a third tranny any time soon? thanks

mpmoore · December 2008

My Volvo service manager and regional rep said that replacement of the raditor and cooling system is standard procedure when the T6 transmission fails. They are linked together in order to cool the transmission and when the transmission fails debris migrates into the cooling system. If the cooling system isn't replaced the debris returns to the new transmission once it is installed--which might be why some owners are having to replace the transmission twice in a short time frame. Particular if the cooling system wasn't replaced.

Selling it is a good idea. My was repaired a few days ago and the only miles it has seen is from the dealership directly to the auto auction. The new owner will get a great car--with new transmission, cooling system and warranty. I on the other hand will be able to sleep nights.

mpmoore · December 2008

The regional managers and dealers have great latitude in how they accomodate this. I had no extended warrranty--was out of the factory warrranty and had a cost of $200 for them to replace the transmission and cooling system. I called the factory, service manager and got the regional rep involved to get our settlement. They do desrve a class action suit.

db2814 · December 2008

Hello: my vehicle has 150,000 km on it and when it is cold out the vehicle makes a "drum beat" noise that gets faster as the car accelerates and slower as the car slows down. Once the vehicle is warm the noise goes away (after about 7 minutes) this noise never happens in the summer.

Anyone have any idea what is happening? Noise comes from under the vehicle and sounds like metal banging on metal. The dealer can not find the problem and I am wondering what is wrong.

Thanks.

pmwri · December 2008

Well first, thanks for all the previous postings it will help when I call my local Volvo dealer tomorrow. Today I dropped off my '04 T6 with 62,000 miles on it with the same error message. Transmission Service Warning with limited lower gears and slippage when changing gears. I am in the USA, South Carolina, local dealership is Dick Dyer.

My first indication about this problem was a metallic sound that I only heard when the car was coasting. (As long as the accelerator was press a little, no noise. The second that I took my foot off the accelerator I would hear this sound. Not brakes)

I will use all of the information that I have learned online via this forum and other websites (http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/complaints/index.cfm) to help all those following this issue and try and get Volvo to finally realize that the GM transmission isnt a good match for the T6 engine!

I will keep everyone informed of the specifics of what I find out.

judyv · December 2008

I keep reading about how people have gotten the dealerships and or Volvo to pick up part of the tab on the transmission replacements. Has anyone had any luck on a car with over 100K miles. I have 118K miles and have lost the transmission. I like so many, love the car, but it has been a maintenance nightmare....this one seeming to be the biggest one yet. It irritates the %^$** out of me as I have been meticulously careful about maintenance and have done everything right. Has anyone had any luck with used parts in this regard?

carguy85 · December 2008

Always have the transmission fluid flushed on an XC90 T6 and also have the filter changed; some people do it once a year. The GM transmission has a filter in it which can be changed. Little known fact!

camarkim · December 2008

I've read in this thread that the replacement tranny's are no longer the GM trannies-that they are now Japanese. Can we get some verification of that? (Like, what manufacturer is providing the new transmissions? What is the code of the new transmission? Is it now a 5 speed as was used on the 2004 2.5's, instead of the GM 4 speed?) Details on the replacements would be helpful. Thanks.

jacostello · January 2009

After reading all the posts about Transmissions, I decided to give my story as well, most of it similar to many of your stories, except that I didnt take it to the dealer, I actually had it rebuilt. I bought the 2004 XC90 T6 used with about 48,000 miles on it, drove like a dream until 62,500 when the infamous "TRANSMISSION SERVICE URGENT" came on, we took it our local Volvo specialist (not the dealer), and they flushed the tranny and reset the light and updated the computer, they didn't find any metal shavings or off color fluid, it took about a week for light to come back when the shop referred me to a local transmission shop (Bradshaw's Transmission/Portland, OR)

We had an aftermarket warranty who wouldnt even review the claim until the transmission was out and broken apart to assess the situation. After the report, the warranty company declined to pay for anything, and it was $1,300.00 to take out the tranny and break it down, since I was already that much in, I decided to keep it there and not take it to the dealership, which quoted me $5,500.00. Since many of you took it to the dealership, I assume you never got to actually know what went wrong with the transmission, I got to find out every detail since they took it apart. I am in no way a mechanic, my experience ends outside my 1974 VW Super Beetle, so Im taking a lot of this straight from the report and bill for the rebuild and from my conversations with the gentlemen who rebuilt it. So they found the transmission fluid smelled burnt and was slipping under load, the second gear clutch pack was burnt and the second gear apply piston and the drum was damaged causing metal particles to contaminate the entire transmission and shift solenoids. That came straight from the report. They were able to provide me with copies of their ATRA (Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association) manual from the 2005 and 2006 year. The 2005 manual stated that the 2nd and 4th clutches are prone to burning and to inspect them when in for service. The 2006 Manual identified the problem as being improper machining of the accumulator housing, the chamfer angle was changed from 15 degrees to 10 and the depth was shorted from 2.7mm to 1.8mm.

So they rebuilt it with the new specifications, and at first the light would come back on every 6 weeks or so, after taking it in a few times, they eventually found out that their computer wasnt updating the new specs to the transmission and it was still programmed for the old worn transmission, once that got updated properly, its been handling like a dream ever since, it actually drives smoother.

I cant say with any certainty that this is what happened to everyone else's transmission, but it sure seems likely. I wonder if Volvo is just replacing the transmissions and discarding the old ones so no one investigates the root problem, this is only speculation. I have filed a complaint with the NHTSA, and Im writing a letter to Volvo demanding payment for my transmission, which by the way was $4,512.00 in the end, thats not including the $500.00 tranny flush I did a week prior to having it rebuilt. Im also advising them that if I dont receive at least a reply within 30 days that Ill be filing a complaint with my states Attorney General, Ive filed with them before with an other company on another issue and the issue was resolved pretty quickly, apparently companies dont like to be flagged by any AG, so I urge you all to complain to your state AG, the more they get, the more likely they are to give in to us!

Im more then happy to provide anyone with PDF scans of the manual pages and even my bill with all the mechanic notes (my name and personal info redacted) if youd like them to file complaints.

So am I crazy for not letting Volvo replace it instead in the first place?

kerrymwhite · January 2009

At least you found out some information. Thanks for posting this and maybe you won't be having to deal with this again in another few years like those of us who got it replaced at the dealer may have to do. Thank you again for the information; its always frustrating to be blind and trusting others to do the right thing for you.

oldjim3 · January 2009

J -
I haven't had a problem with my 2004 XC90 yet, but I would like to be prepared. Please send PDF's of manual and bill to VolvoOwner.OldJim@gmail.com

Thank You

"OldJim"

stever · January 2009

If you convert your pdf scans to jpgs or gifs, you can post them on your CarSpace page in an album there and then people won't have to track you down over the next few years trying to review your info.

Thanks!

peppergurl · January 2009

Thanks for posting the information. I live down in Eugene, OR so we both will be writing the same AG. I would be interested in receiving the PDF scans of the manual pages and the mechanical notes on the bill. I own the same make and model of Volvo and purchased it new in 2003. I'm currently on my third transmission with 61,000 miles.

pmwri · January 2009

Here is an update from my 12/21/2008 initial post:

Updated the software, cost $238. All lights have been cleared, service tech at dealership says it is ready to go. I picked it up on 12/27/2008.

Leave dealership and drive to CarMax to determine trade in price. For my 4 year old, $46k+, 62K mile high end XC90 T6 I was offered $9000! If I had a non-turbo it would have been worth more!!! Remember, we paid extra for the T6!!!!!

On my drive home, the engine started running very rough and the check engine light came on. So I took it back to the dealership and had the service rep ride along with me while my wife talked with the Service Manager.

Upon my return the service manager asks the service rep if he thinks that it is the "tranny". Rep says that it is slipping and has a grinding noise, most likely a new tranny needed. Don't stop reading because you will NOT believe this!

Service Mgr says to Rep, "go ahead and cover the entire transmission replacement, parts & labor under the dealership/Volvo good will budget!!!" That is right, then entire costs.

So here I sit, waiting for them to call and let me know that my SUV is ready, with one bit of advice. Stay calm, don't yell, use postings from this site to help make your case and then just camp out in the Service Managers office until they agree.

Good Luck everyone!

db2814 · January 2009

Hi: I own a 2003 XC90 as well and it has 154,000 km on it. I think this works out to 90k in miles. I live in Ottawa, ON Canada and am having some engine issues at this time.
What were your symptoms with regards to the tranny needing to be replaced for the first time. Did you change your tranny fluid once per year?

Thanks.

qbrozen · January 2009

Its great they are covering it! congrats!

few comments, though...

Your vehicle is 5 years old. There was no non-turbo in '04.
Did you really pay full retail for it? All SUVs have taken a resale bath, unfortunately.

pritchett · January 2009

I bought my 2003 XC-90 new (it was the first one they came out with) and this should have been a first warning. I paid top dollar...NO consideration was given for any sort of discount. I have just over 108,000 miles on it and literally have spent over $20,000.00 on "repairs". I should have turned it in as a lemon but didn't . I bought the extended warranty and did use it several times but it has expired. I have had oil leaks,
noisy sounds as though the car is falling apart, had to replace the brakes many times, tires for this vehicle are more expensive than they would have been with other cars, bearing, shocks, you name it...this piece of junk has been in and out of the Volvo dealership time and time again (and usually was kept and driven by managers
for a week or two at a time) to "locate" the problem. They problem at the time would supposedly be "fixed" but would not stay "fixed". Now the transmission needs to be replaces. I have been quoted $4,500.00 and I have no assurance that they would put a good one in. PLUS, the check engine light is on so no telling what else they would "find" that needed attention. I have had the car serviced properly and at this point I probably have close to $70,000.00 invested in this pile of junk. If I pop another $4,500.00 or more in it, what will happen next and how long will I be able to drive it without spending more money? MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO ANY OF YOU CONSIDERING BUYING A VOLVO XC-90, DON'T DO IT!!! I should have bought a Honda! Kevin

kag1 · January 2009

The light came on this past Monday evening. The car was not shifting correctly in auto or manual, but I made it home (85,000 mi). Thank goodness I found this website before I called the dealer. Brought the car in on Tues. They recommended just a fluid flush because it was low and dirty. I asked them if that was going to fix the slipping and they said it might. I told them to go ahead with it thinking that it might buy me a little bit of time to figure out how to get a new transmission paid for. While I was waiting I went up to the counter to discuss new transmissions. They told me they would replace it with a brand new one, same kind, with a warranty of 12 months. A total cost of $6700.00 plus tax, includes radiator,cooling lines, trans cooler. I asked them if the dealer or Volvo was going to cover any or all of the costs--they said this is what they do--I pay the full amount and then they send all the paperwork to Volvo. They said Volvo is usually pretty good about it. I know I may have only a few days or a few months before the transmission goes, but I don't think I want to pay all that money up front and then wait and see. I would appreciate any comments, suggestions, advice,....thanks

peppergurl · January 2009

My transmission has gone out twice in the last 13 months. First in Dec. 2007 at 48K, then in Aug. 2008 at 56K. My warranty expired only 3 months before the transmission went out the first time and Volvo paid for the parts only. I paid $1400 for the labor. The second time the transmission went it was under the 12 month warranty. My car is driving without slippage for the last 3 months. I am hoping that this time it will last. Some place on this website I read that they are now replacing the transmission with a Japanese one which would obvisously be much better than the GM transmission. It would not hurt to ask what kind of transmission they will be using. I hope this helped some. Good luck.

RyanMN · January 2009

I would be interested in receiving you PDF scans of the manual pages and bill. My 2004 XC90 T6 has 76,000k and just went in with a transmission problem for the second time.

It is much appreciated.

Thanks,

lchase · January 2009

I have 62k and tonight on my way home from a 14 hour shift in the ER, the infamous transmission light went on. I am so angry about this especially after reading and realizing this is a common problem. I like the one guys idea of threatening to write the attorney general. I would like the files too. I am taking it in tomorrow and am bringing notes. This is a joke when you consider how much these vehicles cost.

Lynne

lchase · January 2009

Can you please send me the files as well. I am sure I will hear bad news tomorrow when I take mine in. I am very angry. I like your idea of threatening to contact the AG's office.

Lynne

luvmyvolvo · January 2009

Could you please e-mail me the 5 pages from the manual as well as the copies of the bill? I tried copying and enlarging the pdf scans, but they are too blurry to read.

greys330@hotmail.com

Thanks so much!!!!

I'm on my second transmission and I want to be ready for my third replacement.

jcrstang · January 2009

Can you do me a favor and send me the pictures via email, the pics on this website are not good. Would like to print them ASAP. I am going to transmission shop with info. I just purchased this vehicle 4 days ago and got the infamous message last night, check vehicle this morning and noticed metal shavings on dip stick. (Was not aware of this flaw prior to purchase, if I did, I wouldn't purchase this vehicle) Needed a dependable SUV for my wife due to my deployments in the military. This vehicle has 65,000 miles, I guess to good to be true. Here is my email jcrstang66@yahoo.com THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

luvmyvolvo · January 2009

Here's my two cents, If your car isn't covered by the warranty or isn't being paid for by the dealer, then it would probably be better to take it to a "recommended" independent repair shop that can and will determine the source of the problem and repair it. It seems the Volvo dealership is simply putting in the same factory rebuild and hoping your warranty runs out the next time the transmission fails. My service receipt doesn't state the cause of my transmission failure, only the repairs made and parts replaced. So Volvo is accepting no blame on the design flaw.

I think if more people took their cars to independent shops and all those (non-dealership) mechanics came to similar conclusions for the transmission failure, then that documentation could be valuable, since Volvo is claiming they cannot recall the vehicles since they do not know the source causing the transmission failure.

Or I thought of writing the following on my back window and driving around town:

Brakes & Rotors every year: $500
New Tires every 2 years: $700-900
Tie Rod: $2000
2nd Transmission: $5400
Paying $50K for a Lemon = PRICELESS!!!!!!! :lemon:

madashellxc90 · January 2009

That is crazy, I wish I would have checked this out before I bought my 2005 XC90 T6 with 65k. I bought this vehicle on 1/14/09 and had the Transmission message on 1/23/09. I took it to the dealer who happens to be a Ford dealer in Sumner, WA. so I could con them out of a loaner and they told me they needed to have it looked at by the Volvo dealer and let me know. I wonder now if I should have just suffered through and have my independant shop take a look. I filed a complaint with Volvo, and was curious about how to get started filing with the AG in my state in case there is a problem with the warrantee I bought. and even then it will go out again by the time my warrantee is up. I want to have it actually fixed and send the bill to Volvo, but would love to have the AG threat ready to go when I do that...

Than kyou all for the posts I think it is ridiculous that Volvo isn't owning up to this problem!

xc90use2rule · January 2009

Hi There!
I am having the same problem with my 05 XC90...
I use to think this was a great ride until I got the same message and experienced what everyone else is posting about.. Anyway, can you please send me the PDF so that I can show the mechanics at Herzog Meier? I am tempted to take it to Bradshaw's transmission as well (I'm located in Beaverton). Did you ever file a complaint with AG for this particular situation you had? Was the issue resolved quickly as well?
Thank you for your post. I found it to be the most helpful. This should help others resolve their issues faster.

madashellxc90 · January 2009

I sent a complaint to Volvo before the car arrived at the dealer..

"I purchased this vehicle from Riverside Ford in Sumner, WA on 1/14/09 and have always been impressed with Volvo. On 1/23/09 @ 6pm, the vehicle warning light in the dash came on with a warning message that said "Transmission Service Urgent" I contacted Riverside Ford, and had them bring it in for warrantee service, and they are bringing it to Volvo of Fife, WA for diagnosis. meanwhile after searching the internet for possible answers I discovered this is a common problem and that a design flaw has been identified throu ATRA (Founded in 1954, the Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association ATRA is an international trade association for the professional automatic transmission repair industry.) and that this is a reocurring problem in the 4T65E transmission of the 04 - 05 models. I assume this is something Volvo is aware of, and I need to know wwhat steps I can take to ensure the update '06 4T65E transmission gets placed in my vehicle. As well as what Volvo is prepared to do to cover and ensure this happens at no cost to the consumer (me). is this not something that needs to be officially recalled? I plan on organizing all past and current owners of this vehicle to look into filing a Class Action Lawsuit as soon as possible, and would like to have the cooperation of Volvo in issuing an official Recall of this product, before futher action needs to be taken. Thank you "

And got this response:

"Thank you for contacting Volvo. We are sorry to learn of the difficulty you have experienced
with your 2005 XC90.

We are currently looking into this issue with our colleagues at Volvo of Tacoma. We will be
back in touch with you as soon as our research is completed.

Sincerely,

Bill
Volvo Cars of North America"

Today I contacted Volvo in Tacoma, they verified that the thing needs a new transmission, and are "Waiting for word from Volvo."

I also purchased an extended warrantee, I assume if Volvo isnt going to do anything about it that the warrantee will cover it, my concern is how long will it last?

Comments?

madashellxc90 · January 2009

I am game we need to organize and get this done, however the threat threw at Volvo seems to be getting me somewhere. I just contacted Customer Service on line..

gonzo35 · January 2009

I have a 2003 T6 turbo and the transmission just went. People talk about the problems with these cars and they are right. We bought ours used with 54k miles and we have spend over $5,000 in repairs and now the tranny and the CB joints went, a total of about $6,500 in repairs.

I want to burn the thing but I still owe on it and according to Edmunds, I am upside down on it.

We bought the XC90 because of the Volvo "For Life" recommendation, but this is my first and last experience with Volvo. As soon as I fix the thing it is sold, even at a loss.
Don't buy XC90s.

okiesnowrider · January 2009

YES!! i have an 05 that makes the exact same noise! my local swedish shop claims that it is in the driveshaft. 3 days after having that diagnosed i now have the cursed failed tranny also!! local volvo quoted me $6700 for the transmission and 2k for the driveshaft...somebody help me

dcxplant · January 2009

Thanks for the detailed feedback. My posts to this site were back in April 08 when my transmission went out at 53,897 miles. The "signs" of problems started happening again about a week ago. Supposedly the transmission is still under warranty, so I may try to push the issue at the dealership. Needless to say, I am shopping for a new car this weekend and I'll be contacting the Virgina State Attorney General next week.
Back when this happened the first time, the service rep told me with out being real direct about it that the only way anything would get done about this wide-spead problem, which I call a "design flaw", is for the NHTSA to get involved because it can be identified as a SAFETY problem. So I filed the complaint on 10 May 08 and haven't heard anything yet. I'm thinkin' that my car loosing power on I-95 at 65mph could be called a SAFETY issue. That's all for now until I go back into the fray with Volvo. But bottom line is, I'm getting rid of this money trap and going back to Japanese like I should have done in the first place. I got this car when returning from an overseas military assignment thinking this was a good deal..ha!

margaritac · January 2009

Hi what kind of noise did you have??? I just had a new tranny put in and after that the car does not feel the same. I have been to the dealership and they tell me there is nothing wrong with the car but if feels weird in hte steering wheel and after about 20 minutes there is a thumping when driving.. I am going nuts and dont know what it is and they treat me as though I am making all this up!!! :confuse:
