WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE 'TRANSMISSION SERVICE URGENT' MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY OF MY 2004 VOLVO XC90. I WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME (<1 MILE) AND GET IT TO A VOLVO SERVICE CENTER (20 MILES) THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THE SERVICE CENTER INDICATED THAT 3RD GEAR OF OUR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS 'GONE' AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED WITH A RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. I FOUND THIS ISSUE SURPRISING SINCE, ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE HAS SIGNIFICANT MILEAGE FOR ITS AGE, >90% OF THAT MILEAGE CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO HIGHWAY DRIVING (COMMUTE >80 MILES PER DAY). I ALSO HAVE REVIEWED MANY REPORTS ONLINE FROM OTHER VOLVO XC90 VEHICLE OWNERS DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM AT FAR LOWER MILEAGE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 VOLVO XC90 THAT HAS 52,000 MILES ON IT. I STARTED RECEIVING A "BRAKE FAILURE" WARNING AND TOOK IT IN TO MY MECHANIC. HE SAID IT WAS ABS/DSTC CONTROL MODULE WHICH REGULATES THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL. THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE, AND ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, HAS BEEN KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE ON THIS MODEL. IT REQUIRES REPLACING WITH A FACTORY PART, AND REPROGRAMMING OF THE COMPUTER AT A COST TO THE CONSUMER OF ABOUT $1100. LABOR FOR THIS IS APPROXIMATELY $250. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE, AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, I FEEL IF IS REASONABLE TO REQUEST THAT VOLVO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND REPAIR THIS FEATURE. *TR

I DRIVE A 2004 VOLVO XC90 T6 AWD. SUV. AFTER 78,000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS ON THE ROAD AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL . AFTER ACCELERATING AT A BUSY TRAFFIC LIGHT FIRST AND SECOND GEAR IN MY TRANSMISSION FAILED. THIS OCCURRED IN BUSY TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED SUDDENLY AND THE CAR JERKED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING OR CONTROL. THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REBUILT. I SEARCHED ON LINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS AND THERE ARE. PLEASE CHECK EDMUNDS.COM VOLVO FORUM. THERE ARE OVER 35 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS SOME WHILE PEOPLE WERE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. APPARENTLY VOLVO USED A GM TRANSMISSION DESIGNED FOR A MUCH SMALLER CAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR VOLVO TO CHANGE OR REPAIR THIS VERY EXPENSIVE ISSUE. *TR

THREE AND A HALF WEEKS AGO MY 2004 T6 XC90 JERKED FOR THE FIRST TIME. I WAS ON LEAVING THE PARKING LOT AT WORK AND THE REAR END MADE A LOUD BUMPING SOUND AND THE CAR JERKED FORWARD. IT FELT LIKE ANOTHER CAR HAD BUMPED INTO ME, BUT I WAS THE ONLY CAR ON THE ROAD. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN FOR ANOTHER WEEK OR SO. THURSDAY, APRIL 24TH, I'M DRIVING TO WORK AND THE CAR ISN'T PICKING UP SPEED WHEN I PUSH THE GAS. THE RPMS GO UP BUT IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE. FRIDAY, APRIL 25TH I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THE CAR DROVE PERFECTLY, EVEN AFTER I PICKED IT UP. SATURDAY, APRIL 26TH AT 9PM, I'M DRIVING ALONE ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE URGENT LIGHT COMES ON, THE CAR LOSES POWER THE RPMS ARE RUNNING UP WITH NO ACCELERATION. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE SO I GOT OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME, BUT IT CONTINUED TO HAVE INTERMITTENT POWER LOSS THE WHOLE TIME. I'M IN NIGHTTIME TRAFFIC PUTTING ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS TRYING TO GET HOME. I HAVE TO WAIT TILL MONDAY TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER, THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE SATURDAY. THE DEALERSHIP GETS THE VEHICLE MONDAY, AND KEEPS IT UNTIL FRIDAY SAYING THE CEM MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WASN'T CONFIDENT OF THE FIX SO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE REP KEPT THE CAR TO DRIVE OVER THE WEEKEND. I PICKED IT UP MONDAY, MAY 5TH. THE INVOICE SAYS 'CODE TCM 002B INCORRECT GEAR RATIO' WAS THE ERROR MESSAGE FOUND. THE SOFTWARE FOR THE TCM WAS UPGRADED, BUT APPARENTLY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CEM WAS REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAD 53,897 MILES ON IT WHEN HIS OCCURRED. I HAVE NOT OWNED THE CAR 4 YEARS YET AND WISH I HAD GOTTEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE THIS RECENT WORK WAS NOT COVERED AND COST $1297. FROM WHAT I'VE LEARNED ON THE INTERNET IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS THIS T6 XC90 HAS TRANSMISSION FAILURE AS ITS THEME. I FIND IT INCREDULOUS THAT VOLVO MAY BE PUTTING ME AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AT RISK FOR A PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

3PE10025 · Central Electronic Module Failure
Opened Jul 20, 2010 · Closed Nov 22, 2010
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System
Volvo acknowledged a problem affecting some subject vehicles involving water seepage into the plenum box area in the engine compartment.When this occurs water may enter into the interior / passenger compartment and track along the wiring harness for the Central Electronic Module (CEM), the device that controls many of the vehicle's electrical functions including wiper operation, lighting, and transmission operation.If the water reaches the CEM connector electrical faults may result.In response to such faults the CEM, a microprocessor controlled device, will attempt to reset by temporarily shutting down (for 100 milliseconds, or 0.1 seconds) and restarting; this effects various CEM functions including the instrument panel (IP) display, gauges, wipers and also the transmission gear (if it is in the overdrive range).During the reset owners may experience temporarily loss of the IP displays and an abnormal 'jerking' in the transmission/drivetrain.If the problem persist for 6 consecutive restart attempts, the CEM will enter a 'Limp Home' mode that disables non-essential electrical functions yet maintain safety critical functions such as low-beam headlights, low-speed wiper operation, brake lights, and non-overdrive transmission operation.Warning and error messages will also be illuminated in the IP display.Consumers reported experiencing conditions consistent with CEM resetting and the limp mode operation in their reports to both ODI and Volvo.No reports or allegations of crash or injury associated with possible CEM failures have been reported by Volvo or otherwise identified by ODI.Volvo revised the design of the wiring grommet (sealing device) and the plenum cover starting in May 2005 and October 2005 production dates respectively, the occurrence of the condition effectively ended after these changes.A technical service bulletin (TNN 37-35) has been published to diagnose and repair earlier production vehicles using the improved wiring grommet and/or new plenum cover.A safety-related defect has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will monitor this issue and reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.
