| 2004 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | 2004 XC90T6 HAS FAILED TRANSMISSION AT 82,500 MILES. I FIRST NOTICED PROBLEM WHEN FIRST STARTING FROM STOP. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THEN IT FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED. PROBLEM PERSISTED AND NOW PROBLEM OCCURS AT FIRST ACCELERATION AND AT FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO INCREASE SPEED THE TRANSMISSION FALLS OUT OF GEAR AND CATCH. THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK AND APPEARS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM PARTICULARLY WITH THE 2004 XC90 T6. THE LAST TIME IT FAILED I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND WAS ALMOST STRUCK BROAD SIDE BY AN APPROACHING VEHICLE. THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP ADVISES ME THAT THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE T6 ENGINE. REPORTED FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED AS EARLY AS 1,500 MILES AND VOLVO'S CORRECTIVE MEASURES OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSIONS WITH REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSIONS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF REPEAT FAILURES. VOLVO HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS WITH A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION BUT HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR LABOR. THE DEALER HAS AGREED TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE LABOR. I HAVE REQUESTED THE DEALER TO RETAIN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ASSOCIATED PARTS. I HAVE ALSO ASKED VOLVO IF THEY HAVE NOTIFIED NHTSA OF THE WIDESPREAD FAILURES AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH THIS INFORMATION. THE DRAIN LINES FROM THE SUNROOF HAD TO BE REPLACED.
