2005 VOLVO XC90 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 VOLVO XC90. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, A FUEL ODOR EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE FUEL ODOR RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 113,000.

MY VOLVO XC90 ALSO HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CEM PROBLEMS AFTER VARIOUS SYMPTOMS BEGAN TO ARISE. AFTER GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH, THE DISPLAY BEGAN SHOWING VARIOUS MESSAGES. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE ORDERED A NEW CEM AND INTEND TO REPLACE IT . I AM AN ATTORNEY. IF THIS VEHICLE CONTINUES TO FAIL AFTER THE CEM IS REPLACED, I INTEND TO TAKE FURTHER LEGAL ACTION, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ON THIS WEBSITE. I INTEND TO CALL THE LOCAL DEALER TOMORROW TO PUT THEM ON NOTICE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. I CANNOT BELIEVE A REPUTABLE COMPANY LIKE VOLVO DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE PURCHASED THEIR VEHICLES. I AM FORMALLY REQUESTING THAT THE INVESTIGATION INTO THESE PROBLEMS BE REOPENED AS THE PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE CEM DESIGN FLAWS CAUSE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS THAT CAN THREATEN THE SAFETY AND EVEN THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO DRIVE AND RIDE IN THE VOLVO XC90

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 VOLVO XC90. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN IT RAINED, WATER ENTERED THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND ONTO THE DASHBOARD, CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS TO DIM. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE RADIO NO LONGER WORKED. ADDITIONALLY, THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,189.

THERE IS A RECALL DATED MARCH 2010 FOR 2003-2005 XC90 FOR FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEMS, I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR HAVING PROBLEMS RUNNING. ENGINE ANALYSIS SHOWS CODE PO087AND P0089, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. CAR WILL NOT CONTINUE TO RUN WHILE DRIVING WITH LESS THAN 3/4 FULL TANK.

ASIDE FROM NORMAL CARE, I HAVE ONLY REPLACED MY TIRES AND A GAS CAP. I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE SOME WATER SEEPAGE ONTO THE DRIVER-SIDE. I COVERED THE VEHICLE WHEN IT RAINED AND FIGURED I WOULD HAVE A LOOK AT IT WHEN I HAD TIME. JULY 2015, I TOOK MY VOLVO TO SAVANNAH VOLVO, FIXED MY BREAKS ALONG WITH OTHER SAFETY FIXES, AFTER 14 HRS OF HAVING MY VEHICLE AND 2800 LATER, PETE STATED EVERYTHING WAS TAKEN CARE OF AND THE WATER SEEPAGE WAS DUE TO THE DRAINS BEING CLOGGED, BUT, THEY ARE ALL CLEAR NOW, WE DID A WATER TEST AND EVERYTHING IS OK. YOU WILL EXPERIENCE SOME MORE WATER SEEPAGE BUT IT SHOULD DRY UP IN A FEW DAYS. HE ALSO MENTIONED SOME OTHER WORK THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE THOUGH NOT UNTIL NOVEMBER, DECEMBER. I SAID GREAT AND GOT ON MY WAY. THREE DAYS LATER IT DID RAIN, CONFIDENT I DID NOT NEED TO COVER MY VEHICLE AND WAS STILL EXPERIENCING WATER SEEPAGE FROM MY VISIT, I DID NOT THINK ANY THING OF IT. THE NEXT DAY, MY CONTROL PANEL STARTED TO LIGHT UP. I CALLED SAVANNAH, AND HE MENTIONED IT MUST JUST BE BECAUSE YOU PUT A FULL TANK OF GAS....WHAT??? OK. AS THE WEEK WENT ON THE CONTROL PANEL CONTINUED TO LIGHT UP ONE BY ONE. THE DAY BEFORE GOING BACK, MY DRIVER SIDE TURN SIGNAL WAS ON. HOPING I DID NOT HAVE A DEAD BATTERY THE NEXT DAY, I HEADED TO VOLVO. AFTER 4 HRS THEY TELL ME THE ROOF DRAINS WERE CLOGGD AND SEEPED ONTO THE CEM, AND IT IS DAMAGED. I SAID TO PETE, I THOUGHT THE DRAINS WERE CLEAR WHEN I LEFT A WEEK AGO??? YEAH, WELL, WE CAN'T CREATE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR DRAINS. THOUGH, AFTER 10 YRS I LEAVE THERE AND 3 DAYS LATER EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM, AFTER YOU TOLD ME MY DRAINS WERE ALL CLEARED? SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND VOLVO HEADQUARTERS, NOT ONE PERSON IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS BAD DESIGN, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO LIMP AND A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT! IT NOW SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY, AFTER SPENDING 2800.00 I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER VOLVO!

MY SPARE TIRE FELL OFF THE UNDER BODY CARRIAGE WHILE I WAS DRIVING, BOUNCED, AND ROLLED DOWN THE BUSY ROAD! THE CABLE HOLDING IT ON APPEARS TO HAVE BROKEN.

AFTER RAINFALL WE BEGAN EXPERIENCE POWER FAILURES IN OUR VOLVO. NO WINDOWS WERE LEFT OPEN AND THE INTERIOR WAS NOT EXPOSED TO ANY WATER. BUT WHILE DRIVING THE DASHBOARD WENT OUT THE NEEDLES FOR THE FUEL, MILES PER HOUR AND EVERYTHING WENT OUT. IT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER THEN OFF AGAIN THIS TIME WITH THE RADIO AND WINDOWS COULD NOT ROLL DOWN OR UP. ONCE THE CAR WAS OFF IT CAME BACK ON ONLY TO REPEAT THE SAME ISSUE THE DASH AND RADIO COME ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING AND AT ONE POINT WILL SHUT OFF EVERYTHING UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AGAIN. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER AS WELL FROM TIME TO TIME. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING CONSIDERING I HAVE A TODDLER AND SMALL CHILD AND WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY TO HAVE EVERYTHING SHUT OFF WAS BEYOND FRIGHTENING AND EXTREMELY WORRISOME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CEM AND I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS WITH PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVEN A FRIEND WHOSE CAR DID THE SAME THING. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A NORMAL FAILURE ESPECIALLY SINCE MY CAR DOES NOT EVEN HAVE MANY MILES ON IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND LOOK INTO THIS PLEASE. THANK YOU. *TR

THE BEARING FOR THE COUNTER BALANCE SHAFT HAS FAILED ON MY VEHICLE, CAUSING OVER $3,000 IN REPAIRS NEEDED. VOLVO HAS ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH OLDER 2005 XC90'S WITH THE V8, BUT ARE NOT WILLING TO COVER MY REPAIRS COSTS. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. IF THIS BEARING FAILS WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR
