- install a new bevel gear (2 reports)
My AWD drive stopped working and essentially just my front right wheel was driving the car. It was a very dangerous condition as I found out while driving in rain. The dealer said the bevel gear needed to be replaced at a cost of $2800.00. The dealer could not explain why this happened so that leads me to believe that this ugly problem will happen all over again since the cause has NOT been fixed. I called Volvo customer service and basically they just don't give a damn. I paid a premium price for a high quality car and instead ended up with a third world piece of junk with no customer support. I will be selling the headache now and I intend to tell everyone possible about this so they don't waste their money on a Volvo. It's the only thing I can do to hurt Volvo. What really kills me is the fact that just a month after I had the repair done I made my last payment on it.

I blasted Volvo on the replacement of the angle gear. Obviously this is a problem. Volvo North America sent me a token credit. This is the first of many, many serious problems with this car. My 940 wagon has 265,000 miles on it and I've done routine maintenance and repairs!
