2007 Volvo XC90 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Volvo's very popular luxury SUV is set to undergo an overhaul in a couple of years, but for 2007 the XC90 received just some minor cosmetic changes. They're barely noticeable on the exterior but a bit more evident on the interior (more wood accents, metal trim on gauges, and additional leather trim). Two more paint colors were also introduced. Although this is a luxury vehicle, safety is still the first thing that comes to mind with the Volvo name. As such, all XC90s come standard with Roll Stability Control and Dynamic Stability and Traction Control, as well as the Side-Impact Protection System and Rollover Protection System. Buyers of this SUV are willing to pay to get the best for their families, and they get it indeed. Fog lights and daytime running lights are standard equipment on all XC90s, as are mirror-mounted turn signals. These features help to improve safety, but that's not the only helpful technology that you'll find: look closely for a teardrop-shaped feature at the base of the side-mount mirrors. It is, of all things, a camera, a component of the new BLIS (Blind-spot Information System), which uses digital imaging to detect things in the car's blind spots. Upon detection it triggers a warning light to alert the driver. Fancy that! On any XC90 trim, you can opt for the impressive bi-xenon headlights, which anticipate curves in the road and swivel up to 15 degrees to shine around the bends. The base-model XC90 is the first Volvo released with the much-anticipated I-6 engine, which was developed to replace the 2.5-liter, 208-hp of previous years. The state-of-the-art I-6 provides 235-horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque with no loss of fuel economy despite its larger size, thanks to keen technology. The two higher-priced trims come with a 4.4-liter V-8. Both engine types are transversely mounted, saving space to enhance the car's life-saving crumple zones. Fans of either transmission type will be satisfied, as the 6-speed Geartronic automatic transmission can also be shifted manually in situations when that is preferable (when towing, on curvy or snowy roads, or just to better feel what the engine can do). To fully load your XC90, go for the big-dollar options of the Navigation System and Dual-Screen Rear Seat Entertainment System. You can also opt for 18-inch wheels (or 19-inch on the V8 AWD Sport trim).

Replaced Bad/melted Coil, But Will Not Start
My wife was driving our 07 XC90 3.2 one day and it starts running rough and the "check engine" light started flashing and also the display panel to the left said, "slow down or gear up". Within seconds the car stalled and would not start. The engine would turn over, but not start. I am no mechanic, but I try to do as many of our car repairs as possible. To avoid an expensive mechanic bill, we had it towed home. Going by what my wife had told me I immediately went online and did some research and came to the conclusion that it was most likely a bad coil. When I got a chance to take a look I could see that the coil on the far left was obviously bad. It had a small crack on the top and had considerable melting/deformation. One main concern was what made it melt in the first place, but not having a code reader or mechanic handy I thought the best thing for me to do would be to replace the bad coil and put a new plug in that cylinder, then I could drive it somewhere to have it looked at to see if there was another issue that needed to be addressed. If this fixed the problem I would change the other five plugs as well because I know it's been over 100,000 miles since they were replaced (if ever). Anyway, I changed the plug, put in the new coil and tried to start the engine. Much to my disappointment it is still not starting. My assumption is that whatever made the coil melt in the first place is what is preventing it from starting, or that maybe when the coil went bad that somehow damaged or triggered something else. I am not sure what to do at this point and my car knowledge is somewhat limited. I know the easiest thing to do would be have it towed to a mechanic and have it fixed, but I simply don't have the money for that right now, at least not for a $1000+ bill. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I had my Volvo XC90 serviced in March, and now its blowing white smoke. Shouldnt the ServCenter have caught this last month??
I had my car serviced at Bavarian Motors in Philadelphia in March of this year. Several things were repaired including brakes, wipers, and sunroof. Still, the check engine light was one and I was informed that this was because of a oxygen sensor (?) of some sort that needed to be replaced. I opted to wait until i had more income (2 months or so) to fix that. Fast forward three weeks and my oil light comes on during a drive from DC to Philadelphia. Said there no oil... I had the oil changed in late Nov of 2013 so this seemed weird. Made plans to have the oil changed the next day; went to my car bext morning and billowy white smoke poured from the exhaust pipe. It moved, but was a little jerky. Called a tow truck, had it towed back to Bavarian. They preemptively say they believe it is the turbo. Shouldnt they have caught this issue during the last diagnostic? If they didn't, why? Should i have to pay for another diagnostic procedure if I was here just last month? The tow truck driver was assured it was a blown head gasket or cracked head - and that I should go to his shop for a $2000 repair. Who is bs'ing me?? Cause I am pretty sure somebody is. I don't trust these guys...
Catalytic Converter/O2 sensor
One of the converters or O2 sensor is bad. Getting bad reading from O2S12 but I can't find which side this is on. Driver side or passenger side? It ranges from .896 to .081 on my scanner O2S22 ranges from .735 to .458 on scanner. I'm trying to fix myself because of cost, any help would be great!!
'07 Volvo XC90 AC
The AC in my '07 xc90 stopped blowing very hard. We took it in and $1,400 later, it still doesn't blow hard enough to cool the car down. Especially if there are passengers! I have tried arguing my case with the repair shop, but they just stick a thermometer in the vent and tell me, "Yep, 40 degrees." but you can't feel it blowing!! My receipt shows they replaced AC compressor, receiver dryer, cabin filter, flushed the system and replaced the engine air filter. There was also a charge to "evacuate and recharge". I know nothing about cars, can anyone advise me on this?? Is my car just too old? Is this the best I can hope for?? Ugj!!
