IT'S A KNOWN FACT THE THE TRANSMISSION FOR MY MODEL YEAR 2007 HAVE A BAD VALVE BODY INSIDE THEM THAT CAN GO OUT AT ANY TIME. VOLVO KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND CHANGED OUT THE TRANSMISSION FOR THERE 2008 MODEL AND DID NOTHING ABOUT THE POIR YEARS. THE COST FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION IS WELL $5000. I JUST BOUGHT MY IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THE TRANSMISSION IS A FACTORY SEALED UNIT AND CAN NOT BE CHECKED. UNLESS YOU TAKE APART THE WHOLE LOWER PART OF THE CAR IN OTTO TAKE OUT THE TRANSMISSION.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STATE NEEDS SERVICE. THE AIR CONDITIONER WORKS INTERMITTANTLY AND THE TCS (TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM) SOMETIMES FAILS TO COME ON. LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, ONLY SOME OF THE TIME. PURCHASED VEHICLE WITH 180.000 MILES

IN A NUTSHELL: AT APPROXIMATELY 8:35 WEDNESDAY MORNING (OCTOBER 28TH), MY VOLVO XC90 SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE IN THE POURING RAIN. I WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. THANKFULLY NOBODY WAS HURT. TORONTO FIRE SERVICES AND TORONTO POLICE SERVICES BOTH ATTENDED THE SCENE. THE MOST FRIGHTENING PART OF THIS INCIDENT IS THE FACT THAT IT WAS COMPLETELY SPONTANEOUS AND VERY CLOSE TO THE GAS TANK! OBVIOUSLY IT WAS THE RESULT OF AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. THANKFULLY ANOTHER DRIVER ALERTED ME TO THE FACT THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE - AS IT WAS NOT APPARENT TO ME - AND I WAS ABLE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY. I SHUDDER TO THINK OF THE POTENTIALLY FATAL GAS EXPLOSION WHICH WOULD HAVE FOLLOWED, HAD WE NOT BEEN ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE AS QUICKLY AS WE DID.
