Car still under warranty.....been to the shop a number of times to diagnose problem and they are unable to fix it. I read where several other XC-90 owners are having this same problem.....if the dealer can't fix it, what about the warranty??? Do I get a new car??? Is it safe to drive???

 

Did they replace the ABS module yet?

 

The car is less safe to drive under the following conditions:

- Adverse weather (rain, snow &ice).
- Panic braking.

Other than that, you can drive the car but you do not have the ABS protecting you under the aforementioned conditions.

Finda different dealer if you must & describe exactly what the current shop did for diagnosis & repair.

Good luck & Happy New Year.

I have had a similar problem. Thought it was fixed, but recently my light started coming back on at times. I think I got a "Monday" car. I've already had the rear wheel bearings go out as well.

 

I just had my 04' in for that same problem and here is what the Volvo tech said in the report.

"Inspected and noted the message is not present at this time, so technician then connected the vehicle to VCT-2000 and fault traced diagnostic trouble code BCM-0121 and BCM - 0122, found the yaw sensor is faulty recommend replacing, Estimate to repair is $573 parts and labour."

My tech gave me the straight goods and said that you can drive without it but you should eventually change as it cause the truck to slip overtime. He wasn't too concerned about it.

I too have the Anti Skid message. I let the car to Volvo this morning and they call me to tell me that it is because the passenger side is flowded. It is not the first time that I have problem with leakage (apparently from the sunroof drain) and I had water accumulating under the passenger seat. It is at least the 5th time. I googled the issue and found out that I am not the only one to experience issue with the Sunroof drain. Last time is cost me couple of hundred dollars but this time they want $1000 just to fix this dry all and change the sensor.
The problem is that I have a lot of other issues in the same time: rear wipper motor stopped working ($450 to fix), fan of the heating system makes noise ($1000 to fix it), stabilizer lose ($380 to fix), and again the CD player broken (3rd time in 5 years) but this time I will not repair it and I bought an FM transmitter instead.

So if I listen Volvo I should pay between $3K to $4K to have my car fixed. They proposed me to talk to the sales dept!

I bought a $45K Volvo because it is supposed to last "for life". I just finish to pay it. The car has 5 years and 80000 miles. I do not want to buy a new car and if I have to change it will certainly not be a Volvo again because everything is falling apart! It was my first brand new car. I am so disappointed. We owned an old Jeep Cherokee purchased used and which has now 160000 miles and all is working well.

Any suggestions to have Volvo fixed the issues to a reasonable price?

 

How do you fix an anti skid temporary off fault?

 

I have a 2008 and have had the problem with the light coming on periodically for over a year. Twice I have taken it in and dealer and they updated software or something like that. This was after the light became more continuous. This last time (the third time) they replaced the module. I live in chicago and it was snowing tonight. going at a very low rate of speed, when I stepped on my breaks on a slipper street, I just slid and the breaks locked up! Three times this happened and I had no control over the car. Almost hit 2 trees on 2 occassions, a median on another and slid past my turn on the 4th time. It was not like this last winter. Did they repair or screw up the car, I don't know.

 

That does not really make sense. How could the car gettting wet inside cause the anti-skid device light to go. I am thinking they are full of it. I would go somewhere else. If you live in the Chicago area, don't go to Fields.
