Q:My 2004 XC90 was having shifting problems in August, but the dealer could not duplicate the problem. I am not sure how it could not be duplicated, as it happened to me every time I drove it. I suspect they plugged in their analyzer into the computer and there were no messages, so they sold me a transmission flush. This week the transmission message came up and I took it in, as the transmission is covered under my extended warranty. The claim was denied because the transmission failure was the result of a pressure valve failure.

A:I must say that  volvo should replace this transmission for you as they know it very well that these models had 100% failure rate if it goes to the transmission,  please go to different volvo shop where they will be willing to help you because I would never offer selling used transmission for this volvo, all used ones are junk and will go bad or are broken, it is gm transmission and engine the worst ever installed in xc90 series,  I dont believe it is anybodies fault, this is very bad transmission period and they should replace it for you, please dont stop pushing them as you have warranty and make them replace it, otherwise you will have to pay from your pocket it is will cost a lot since you need brand new transmission, I wish I could help you in any way but really cant,
