Hello volvoforums! Fiance needs more appropriate vehicle with baby #2 on the way. Looking at local availability, I came across a 2006 XC90. Finace went to take a look while I was at work and she likes.

But I have a question about some research about this vehicle I have just started doing. I am coming across a lot of reports about transmission problems. is this something the 2006 XC90 is notorious for having issues with?

For that matter, are there any other common problems with this vehicle to be aware of?

2006 VOLVO XC90 2.5T - 7 PASSENGER - REAR DVD, Willow Metallic on Taupe Leather Interior - $10,800

Thanks for any insight!!

The trans problems are for the T6, not the 5 cylinder. The 5 cylinder is much more reliable.
