| Operating vehicle since oct '08, since that time there has been a noise emanating from front pass-side wheel area. purchasing dealer(hall chevy, chesapeake, va) performed wheel-alignment to fix the noise which did not remedy. volvo dealer in arvada, co diagnosed it as failed, or failing wheel hub, to be replaced at cost of $500. this vehicle also had trans failure at appx 76k miles, and throttle control module failure in oct '09. i believe there are many concerns about operating and having confidence in its ability to operate safely and reliably the vehicle has been in the shop nearly as much as on-the-road since it's i purchased it in oct '08. *tr | |||

| I own a volvo xc90 t6 awd. this car has had problems with the twin turbo-chargers, the warning lights, a tire blowout, vibrations in the steering wheel, alignment issues, short circuit in the driver's side control panel, poor fit and finish of the driver side door panel and a host of other fit and finish problems. the momentum volvo dealership in houston, texas and volvo north america service representative denied any problems being a serious or recurring problem. this all took place in a span of less than 10 months for a brand new vehicle.the car spent more time in the shop than in our possession initially. the dealership continued to fix the recurring problems and denied any chronic issues existed. i wish to alert nhtsa in the event any other owner of volvo xc 1990 has similar complaints or a tragedy occurs as a result of the problems i have listed. *ak | |||
