There are no sensors to give the driver feed back that such an import problem exists until it's to late. I.E Stuch in Snow, Mud, Ice! Or even worse in a Valley where the river has burst it's banks! Yes a bit alarmist but the point is if the owner or driver of the vehicle doesn't know there is a problem then they could be at risk!

There are millions of 4x4's on the road without sensors to tell them the transmission is OK. The more complex you make the transmission the more there is to go wrong, do we really need even more sensors on a car that's already covered in them? It's going to add more cost and you don't need a sensor to tell you you have a problem with the transmission. Any 4x4 can have a transmission problem (Even the Queen) and get stuck. Ask any Land Rover Defender owner.
Volvo have redesigned the Bevel Gear Transmission box for new XC90's anyway, so that should cure the problem
