I have a 2004 Volvo XC90 T6 with only 43k miles on it, and the transmission went on me 2 weeks ago. I took it to my mechanic, and found out it would be 4700 to replace, so I called a local Volvo dealer to see if the fee was comparable, but they stated 8k... I asked them if they were doing anything for anyone, because I had read online that 100's of people are having the same issue... I was told there's no recall, but they are covering sometimes 100% to repair because of a class action against them. So he informed me to bring it in and they would see if it qualified, and it did!!! So I got new transmission completely free!!! I would suggest that anyone calling Volvo about their transmission mention this class action lawsuit.
