There were 400000 XC90s sold worldwide from 2006 to 2014. All engines.
Lets assume the D5, popular in Europe, but not in the USA, was only 30% of all sales. That's 120,000
From 120,000 vehicles sold worldwide, how many forum posts did you read about this "common problem" ?
I'd expect to see tens of thousands of posts if it is indeed a "common problem"
Indeed, I'd expect recall notices it is was that common.
I'm not saying it's not a problem, I'm just questioning the way you arrived at the determination that it is a "common problem"

The common problem is that when someone comes onto this forum looking help that they are criticised instead of helped.
If the posts was removed that says only a volvo mechanic can work at a volvo and every other part but genuine volvo is crap their wouldn't be many posts left.
How dare he say an xc90 has a common problem and hurt everyone's feelings.
The only response he has got is this and no one actually trying to help him.
And to finish off your statement that your not saying its not a problem.
There is quite a few people on here looking for a little bit of help who haven't the money for main dealers etc and work at their own cars and all they get is criticism.
