Front transfer case has been leaking slowly and collecting dirt and grime; looks like a scab on case. Dealer indicated it was not repairable and that I should just drive it that way... CV Boot tore. Only repair is to order an entirely new axle. Transmission started slipping between gear shifts. Changed transmission fluid with genuine Volvo. Third fluid change in 20K miles. Fluid alone costs $117. Seems to do the trick though. Hopefully last time I need to change it. |

Bevel gear was leaking. Diagnosed at another dealer. When the mechanic was resealing it, he found that the 4wd sleeve was broken and replaced that as well. The transmission was shifting erratically on a regular basis. The mechanic was not able to get it to act up. Since he looked at it, the Transmission has not had the problem. |
| 188500 mi US $4200 |
Transmission flare. Tech found transfer gear frozen and metal shavings in the valve body. The transmission was rebuilt. This was a continuing problem that the dealer could not locate. |
