V8 Engine Is Prone to Catastrophic Failure
jdcarcollector, 03/04/2011
2005 Volvo XC90 V8 AWD 4dr SUV (4.4L 8cyl 6A)
Last week, our 2005 Volvo XC90 V8 'died' in an intersection.
The dealer explained the engine had a 'catastrophic failure' and was "dead".
I was told the battery was dead and there is no compression -- air blew through the engine.
I asked how this could possibly have happened to a car that has undergone every Volvo dealer service, including one just 45 days ago.
The dealer was … courteous but explained the car required a new engine which costs $15,000.
Google "Volvo Yamaha V8 Failure" and you'll come across numerous people discussing catastrophic failures thanks to the timing chain breaking.
Volvo has not undertaken a recall.
