problem #1

Aug 172005

XC90 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,000 miles
: the contact stated the towing capacity listed in the owner's manual conflicts with a brochure provided by the dealer. The brochure made no mention of third row seating having an impact on towing capacity while the owner's manual indicated the third row seating reduced towing capacity. While towing a snowmobile traveling 30mph the vehicle experienced a loss of power, the rear of the vehicle dropped down and the front wheels lost traction. The vehicle was inspected by a regional representative from the manufacturer who was unable to determine there was a problem.
