2006 Volvo XC90 Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Out of all the vehicles I have owned,and believe me I have owned a bunch. This one was the worst on every account. And when I took it to the Dealership in Bristol They charged me almost a thousand dollars and didn't fix it. And I had to take it to a local Mechanic and he told me that they didn't replace the parts that were on the receipt that they were factory old parts .And so he fixed the problem and charged me $347.00 and Now something else is going wrong with another part. This is a piece of junk do not buy. Buy anything but this car.

I have left reviews, that are true only to be removed from these review companies I think they just show what they want you to see. And maybe sometimes they will show a bad one every now and then to seem legit. But all in all their no better than the fake news.

Bought this 2006 xc90 for a young single mom who just graduated from college and got her first job in her field. Thought it would be reliable for her til she could afford a newer vehicle. Replaced the timing set, front end parts, water pump and the oil pump in an effort to prevent costly future repairs for her. She drove it 3000 miles and the engine began running extremely rough. She could not even go over 45 mph. Took it to her local mechanic, he tried everything he could but could not get number 3 cylinder to fire. He thought it was an engine control module and recommended I take it to the Wexford pa Volvo dealer to do diagnostics to determine what might need repaired on the vehicle to eliminate the misfire. The people at the Volvo dealer told me they could not do a diagnostic until they replaced all the Non-Volvo parts. The cost for this plus the diagnostic would be $1300. I told them that I was not interested in dumping over $800 in partsplus labor into an engine that very well could have been terminal. They got very “stiff” with me after that. I had to talk them into Doing a compression check to determine if the engine was going to need a rebuild. They begrudgingly did this and informed me all the cylinders were low and #3 was completely dead. At this point I knew it would be $3000 to rebuild the engine on a car I had already dumped 6 grand into. It was not worth the rebuild. When I dropped the car off it did run, albeit on 4 cylinders, when I told them I was coming down to pick it up, they left the car disabled so I could not even drive it on to my trailer. I traveled 75 miles to pick it up only to have to make the trip again the next day to bring a winch to load the car. The service manager referred to my vehicle as “ my old car” when I met with him to pick it up, evidently it was an embarrassment to Bobby Rahal Volvo to have a 2006 XC90 on their lot. This obdurate attitude was not lost on me. I will make it my life’s goal to inform anyone I can to avoid these people and this dealer at all cost.

I like the size. I don't care for the gas mileage. I love the color. I wish it had nav

I like it because it is a safe and reliable vehicle. I do not like it because the repairs are very expensive.

It is a good vehicle and it is satisfactory the speed is fast. I ts a 7 seater and a family vehicle making it a great vehicle if you have a large family can also be an off-road vehicle with 4 wheel drive.

I like the gas mileage and the look. I don't like the cost of repairs and the design of the vehicle. My complaints are that the oil changes are too expensive and the leather seats don't hold stuff well.
