The transmission was knocking occasionally. I was hoping to have it fixed but the mechanic screwed it up even more, so I just scrapped the car. However, given all the problems I had with this car, like the ABS module had to be repaired, both front suspension springs broke TWICE, front ball bearing in the wheel, the radiator went when the car was 6 yrs old, the radio was going crazy changing 20 stations a minute, and a few others, like I had the timing belt replaced, I would not touch a volvo with a ten foot pole again. What an idiot builds a car where a timing belt has to be occasionally replaced? I bought a 2018 Toyota RAV4 |

| 170800 mi US $780 |
2 years ago both front CV axles were replaced, one vibrated immediately, and got progressively worse - finally bit the bullet and replaced the right side axle - I supplied the parts last time so I can't say it was caused by the shop. AWD not working - asked shop to look at it while it was in for other things. They were not familier with this system, but with my input a limited diagnosis suggested a mechanical problem at the transmission end. |
| 245000 mi US $400 |
Replace passenger front axle (again) - mechanic reports excessive wear in inside joint - found during state inspection. |
