I'm not a first time Volvo owner, so I should have known better . My first was a '95 950 that blew a transmission 4 months into ownership. This time fell for the AWD and the low purchase price....$2,000. There is 170,000 miles on the car and absolutely no service records to be found. The dealer "checked" the car over thoroughly before releasing it to me 2 weeks ago Friday. We took our first road trip this weekend covering only 300 miles round trip. In that distance the car started vibrating wildly with an occasional metal sounding rattle . I took it back today to the dealership who think it may be the dreaded driveshaft. There were no indications of this problem when I drove the car intially and nothing up until this weekend. I am wondering if this may be the only diagnosis available...is there anything that could cause this that may be less expensive than replacing the entire driveshaft assembly...suggestions?
