We just bought our Volvo XC90 T6 AWD (2005) in Dec. 2004. We have put 3000 miles on it. It was running fine until a couple of weeks ago, when the car started to "sputter" after idling for a few minutes. In other words it did not want to move. As we were driving it home the message came up "transmission service requested" We barely made it home (with hazards on). Volvo came and towed the vehicle to the dealership. Monday they called us and said they were going to have to replace the transmission!
My question is...is this a problem any one else has experienced? Are there any other problems we should worry about?
We purchased a Volvo for our family because of the awesome reviews and for it's safety. I don't know how safe I feel when after 3000 miles the transmission had to be replaced.
We do alot of traveling, alot of it through the desert from CA to AZ. The last thing I want to happen is to be stranded out in the middle of nowhere.
We have had it back for a week now and as before it seems to be running fine. I, however am nervous about it breaking down again.
I would love some reassurance so I can be excited about my Volvo again!
