Very frustrating and expensive to fix. I ended up fixing with a rebuilt one.

Bought this car used from a dealer,put around 10,000km on my car and now I'm forking out almost 5000.00 for a rebuilt transmission. This vehicle has been to the shop more than we've driven it. Never buy the xc90 t6 model. I can't wait to pay it off and sell. I certainly will not be looking at another Volvo.

Can't believe that the transmission failed at only 86,000 miles!!!! My installer informed me that the problem is sooo prevalent that Volvo is maintaining an inventory of re-worked transmissions in stock even though there is an obvious carrying cost to them!!!! This is unacceptable performance for a reasonably high end SUV.

Volvo should reach to every 2004 xc90 owner and pay them back for all the pain in the ass it caused. Issues started a month after it was purchased on may 2015. All kind of electrical failures from airbag, climate, radio and CD. Then 2020 started with total electrical failure followed by alternator and battery replacement and finally transmission failure. The car needs a new tranny now but it is not worth it according to my mechanic. Volvo - DO THE RIGHT THING!
