2004 Volvo XC90 consumer reviews

This car has been awesome. I’ve always felt safe with my family in it. I’ve surfed through 2 feet of snow in it. I would recommend this vehicle to any of my family members.

Unreliable, costly repairs, rarely gets over 100000 miles. Purchased a 2004 with 95000 miles on it, paid in cash. 1 day later check engine light went on, 500 dollars for tune up, spark plugs and oil change, 1 week later needed to go back for check engine light and the shop could not determine what was wrong. 1 month later the first gear of transmission stopped working, still at under 100,000 miles, was quoted 5,000 to fix transmission. 1 week later the electrical system failed So we junked it taking a 3000 dollar lose. Do your research, this model has transmission issues and Volvo was sued about it and they still don’t recall this model. Don’t be deceived by how nice the interior and exterior of this model is.

This should be a recall so many people with these volvos complaining about the dim clusters messing up srs airbag urgent light on cluster shuts off car goes into limp mode no shifting no lights on gauges everything fails paid 3500 for my 04 xc90 now its a nice driveway ornament because of this issue had a equinox regret selling n buying volvo junk ....volvo shame on you for this it should be recalled with all these customers with same issue

This is a great looking car with an extremely comfortable ride but I’ve had continuous issues with leaks which came from the poor design. Water drains from the sunroof through tubes that actually go into the car causing water issues when clogged. This ruined carpet, headliner, and the floorboard. There was so much water coming through when it rained that you could hear it sloshing while driving. The water damage also caused damage to the electrical wiring in the driver’s door causing the window and locks not to function. Today was the last straw when the transmission completely failed while driving it to work on the expressway. What a shame for a comfortable ride to have such poor design ruining the entire car.

Inline 6 is virtually indestructible. Twin turbo adds power. All around quality. Ice cold AC. All wheel drive comes in handy. I wouldn't hesitate to buy an XC90 again.

IT'S A WHOLE LEMONADE STAND THIS ? GUY ROBBED ME OF 900.00 IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS NBS AFTER SELLING A LEMON WITH PROMISES THE xxxx NOT SOUR

Bought a 2004 XC90 with 263,000 miles for $600 at auction. Was highly reliable and I was able to resell it a few months later for a massive profit.

We liked this car over all, very comfy, 7 seats, and pretty well equipped for the price. The gas mileage is pretty bad though, on a good day we would get 15.5 MPG combined, and at most it would be 21 MPG on the highway. Very cheap way to get a nice status symbol.

Great family car. Volvo engineering and steel construction make it really safe. Very comfortable and roomy. The only reason I'm selling is to buy the new hybrid XC90 for better mileage.

Super comfortable and easy to drive .. everything is in the right place .. all Modles should come with premium radios
