2006 Volvo S60 4dr Sedan

turbocharged 300hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual AWD

38000 mi AWD began slipping on initial takeoff under full throttle. Initial diagnosis was nothing wrong. AWD then failed 1 year later. Collar was broken and stuck to shaft, which warranted a new tranmission. The angle gear was also replaced. 
39000 mi Had to visit a second dealer to get AWD system covered under warranty. 
57000 mi Clutch position sensor failed. Also, clutch pedal springs fell off the car. 
68000 mi The spline sleeve/collar and angle gear of the AWD system failed with a loud metallic BANG and had to be replaced. This is a very common failure for modern Volvo AWD systems and as such was easy for myself and the dealer to diagnose.
