Volvo is a great vehicle. Handling is smooth, it is very quiet and very reliable. I have had zero issues with this vehicle and it has been driven a lot. The ride is extremely comfortable and the interior features are very upscale. I like the push-button start, heated seats and rear parking sensors. The interior and exterior are very premium and the car was built to last. I like the keyless entry also. It handles well and it takes the bumps in the road well. But the only thing I would like to be different is the gas mileage.

Own a 2015.5 VolvoXc60 T5 with 54000 highway miles. Car has been maintained meticulously. Recently had check engine light come on. Brought to dealer for check. Was advised error codes for O2 sensor and thermostat housing defect. Also advised rear brakes and rotors needed replace. Total cost to me $1800 as warranty had expired at 50K miles. Have never had to replace rear brakes in my life at 53k miles. Questioned tech and service writer regarding brakes (common on this model?) and thermostat housing defect. (Advised there has been problem with these housings.) However no recall or assistance from Volvo. Always had heard Volvo was a good vehicle with good customer service, but cannot attest to this. No help from dealer. Will be contacting Volvo USA. Not what you expect from a 45k automobile.

Volvo is a great vehicle. Love driving it. Over 180,000 miles now and hope to have more years. Also hope to have it last so my child can drive it in two years. It has a good quality, comfortable, heated seats, safety, long lasting, reliable and good looking. Its a reputable company as well. I am happy with everything about the vehicle and would purchase again. Would tell my family and friends to buy it.

Ive had a water leak in my car a few days ago, and I was happy to hear that Volvo Turkey was going to cover the costs. Unfortunately, Ive had several problems with the car before and am not sure whether or not these are also an effect of the water leakage, as it is obvious that the car must have had this problem before. (By the way, I saw on many sites that I am not the only one affected by this and the water might cause other bigger problems in the future.)Now, the central locking system is making sounds, and I told this my service a few months ago. They were going to ask Volvo Turkey for a compensation, as the car was only a few months out of guarantee and I always bring the car to the affiliated service.The affiliated service, by the way, sometimes seems to be not such a good idea, as they forgot the parking headlights on and emptied the battery. They tried to load it and sent me away, but the next day, the car wouldnt start again. So the service came again and loaded it for the second time. But a day later, car would not start again. So I had to bring the car back to the service, and they replaced battery. I was told by somebody working for Bosch that it is not good to load the battery in cars that have the electronic system. But I did not know this at that time. There is also a sound coming from the timing belt, which is not normal for a 2- and a half-year-old car that has done 43.000 km. I asked Volvo Turkey to cover the costs, and I was told that they can only cover 50% of the costs, which I am not willing to accept anymore for following reasons: 1. Why was I not offered this a few months ago when I first told them. 2. I had not only material expenses during the days while car was in service, Ive also lost precious time due to mistakes of the service . 3. Who will guarantee me that nothing else has been affected by the water leakage which is obviously a production mistake.and Ive read on some link that this happens. I am not happy at all to be paying for things that shouldnt occur in a car that is an above-average car.

Holmes and the Service Mgr contacted us shortly after this original posting. As of early January 2015, a new windshield has been installed at no cost to the car owner. I now like Holmes again. I encourage all consumers to attempt to remedy problems through the dealer, and when that doesnt work, use this website so that other consumers can see the history of that dealer. Thanks Luke ** for getting a handle on this issue.

Last spring, we went on a vacation and left our 2010 XC60 parked in our garage. Upon returning, the battery was stone cold dead. After getting Triple A to jumpstart it for us, we drove it around for a while and were able to start it after. The dealership said we should put a trickle charger on it if were leaving it for that long. We just returned from a four-day trip with the XC60 parked in our garage and its battery is again totally dead. I have never heard of the need to put a trickle charger on such a higher-end car if its being parked for four days! We cant use it to take us to the airport and have confidence that it will start when we return. Airport parking lots dont have AC outlets to plug a tickle charger into. Im a bit disappointed, unless there is more information I need to know?

I have aerial maps of where my tire rod snapped and blew my tire. AAA records with GPS coordinates to the exact location and pictures. Apparently, somewhere along that route, there was a curb I hit according to Volvo engineers. I mapped out the exact route with coordinates and there was no physical damage to the car until the rod snapped, then the engine mount cracked and suspension was bent. 3 different mechanics all say the tire rod snapped causing the tire to blow. Why it snapped Volvo is denying a defect in the part and saying the car must have hit a curb 3.5 minutes before everything snapped. After going over everything and having Volvo deny any parts were defective, we are extremely upset. I will be selling the 2006 Volvo s40 t-5. Its crap and garbage! My two kids who were in the car could have been killed on a grassy off ramp. Volvo, if this happens again and someone is killed, I have all the evidence that you neglected and you will be sued...

I have a 2005 Volvo XC 90. It has 166K miles and I have never had a problem with the car. It has always been serviced at the dealership. Aside from brakes, tires, and some things that were caused by my family, Ive never had an issue with the car. I am about to pass it to my son. I would definitely buy another Volvo XC90.

There was a gas odor coming from the car. I looked underneath, and the smell was very strong by the tank. I took it in to the local mechanic. A recall was made on the fuel pump starting in January 2010 for Volvo XC70s that had less than 150k miles on it. My XC70 had 158K miles on it. I cant afford the cost of replacing the pump. That means for those people who cannot afford to replace the fuel pump will have to drive it around. The 150K is a ridiculous cap on the recall. The car is from 2004, why wouldnt it have over 150K and still be on the road? Volvo advertises and charges for safety and quality. Neither the safety or quality service is proven with Volvo, if they allow leaky fuel pumps to be on the roads. One of these defective fuel pumps is going to blow up when it comes in contact with any kind of spark.

I notice that there are no complaints about the Volvo 240! We owned one we affectionately named Christine (1983 turbo) and she saved my life in a collision with a Honda convertible that rear ended me. The Honda: totaled. Christine: NOT A SCRATCH. The police officer standing at the scene (who saw it was the driver behind me at fault) said to me, Lady, you could drive that car through a brick wall and it would not get a scratch! We just purchased an S60 for our daughter and after reading some accounts here has made me a little preoccupied. Perhaps we should have gone with the ol 240! We currently have a v70 wagon that is reliable but does have its share of repairs.

I have purchased an FH12-480 Truck from Saipa Diesel company in Iran, from one of its representation. Before purchase, they gave me some details of purchase and condition of payment, about insurance and other conditions. But they didnt act on their promise, because the representation lied to me about the condition just to motivate me to purchase. When this issue was forwarded to Saipa Diesel missioners (or officer), they dont have any action for my problem.When I went to get the delivery Truck, I saw that more customers of Volvo trucks are dissatisfied with the Sale Center of Saipa Diesel Corporate. I am an M.A. Marketing student in Iran and I think this matter hits a big negative impact to the perception of Iranian customers of Volvo. Now I prefer to buy Volvo trucks from out of your representation or to just buy other brands. Please review this issue and I suggest that you change your representation or the management with yourself, or have a strong monitoring from your corporate.

I bought a 2005 S60 in January of 2008. It was a leased vehicle that my friend had and we went through the dealer to buy it. We paid for the certified used car warranty. Under the warranty, ball joints had to be replaced and we had no other problems with it.It now has 120,000 miles on it and now all kinds of things are going wrong. My husband replaced the rear bearings this year and the fuel pump went recently. After he replaced the fuel pump, the car would not stay running and we had to have it towed. The pump electronic module was found to be bad. The original design had it mounted under the car where it is exposed to the elements, and guess what, it corroded and needed replacement.Volvo issued an update (should have been recall) and relocated it inside the spare tire well. Car still would not run. Diagnostics have traced it to the ECM. This bill is now up to $4,000.

I bought my Volvo XC90 in 3/11. Before I purchased the vehicle, I requested the CarFax. I noted that it stated that the transmission was replaced in 5/09 by a Volvo dealership. I felt secure knowing the history of the car. I was hit by a drunk driver and he totaled my car. After the accident, I needed a car that would make me feel safe. That is important, I was afraid to drive after the accident. Also, 2 weeks before my accident, my daughter-in-law was killed in a car accident and left me with my 3 grandchildren. The purchase of this car was to assist me with safely transporting my grandchildren to their different events. I like the fact that it has a 3rd set of seats for the little ones. But I was very sad when the transmission light came on and the car started weaving. After researching on the internet, I found out that what happened to me was not unusual, that many people have been complaining about the same thing. Volvo XC90s from 2003-2005 have an increase incident of transmission failures. I called Volvo of North America and they told me to call a dealership near me. I did and the (Steve) manager of service at Superior Volvo in Missouri said that he would call the regional manager to see if they would do a goodwill repair/replacement since the transmission was just replaced 2 years ago. Steve (manager of service) called me back and said that they could not do a goodwill replacement at this time. I called Volvo of North America back and explained to them what the regional manager had said, that they would not replace the transmission at their expense. The lady at customer service for Volvo of North America said, after contacting (Steve) the service manager, that since the warranty is out, they are not responsible. So I guess if I replace the transmission, I should only expect for the transmission to last for 2 years. Why would I replace it if it is only going to last for 2 years or less? I worked hard to save for this car. I paid cash for this car, no financing, nothing. I thought I was buying a car that me and my grandbabies would feel safe in. I have contacted the Federal Trade Commission and have a reference number if you need it. I have also contacted the consumer protection division of my state. I dont think it is fair to ask me to pay for a part that is defective and the company had always known about this problem. Where is the fairness? Someone told me to sell it to someone else and get my money back. I cant do that. I wouldnt be able to sleep at night.

Bought my first Volvo in 1973 and drove it 180,000 miles. In 1985 when we bought a 240DL and drove it 225,000 miles. In 2005 when we bought the S80. Today after 14 years and 250,000 miles BETELEW the 3rd is done. An internal engine problem and no compression in #1 cylinder. Thinking back about my Volvo’s and reading the posts here I want to share my Volvo experience with you. First of all I would not recommend buying a used Volvo unless there is documentation that scheduled maintenance was done. Volvo’s can be a bit pricey to maintain and many people just don’t take care of them. I bought all of my Volvo’s brand new, maintained them as outlined in the manual, and all work was done by the dealership or an independent shop that specialized only in Volvo’s. Driving a Volvo for 45 years has taught me a lot. The most important is that there is a big difference between a 15 minute oil change and a dealership scheduled service. There is a long list of items to be checked, lubricated, tightened, or adjusted that only a dealership will perform. 15 minutes oil change is not a maintenance service, and you certainly get what you pay for. I read these posts and so many contain “bought a used Volvo” “poor quality” “factory defect” and how horrible Volvo customer service is and I laugh. I’ve had things happen to my Volvo’s over the years too. The difference is that when you are a regular customer at a dealership as I have been, you will receive excellent customer service. Loyalty is rewarded. I would be embarrassed if I drove Into a dealership for the first time with nothing but 30 minute oil changes and demand good customer service. If you think I’m exaggerating I’m not. In 45 years and 3 Volvo’s I have only been towed 4 times and 3 of those were from my driveway. I was never left stranded or put in a dangerous situation. I bought each of my Volvo’s for safety which I consider to be an investment. I took care of my investments and they took care of me, faithfully, safely, comfortably, and tonight we will return to Volvo to buy BETELEW #4.

The car was ahead of its time. It is so fun to drive and gets so much attention because of the styling. The 5 cylinder turbo gets ok gas mileage and uses regular or premium. Great interior room, fun handling, really scoots. Im sorry they stopped production in 2013.

Hey guys, listen up....this guys got the right idea. Let the people know and judge it. No rights or wrongs. Check the website. I dont know the dealer, but theyve screwed-up big time! **

We purchased a 2004 XC90 w/ 90k miles on 04/20/2013. Weve had nothing but issues with the dealer and vehicle ever since. They financed us 2x in which the 2nd time we lost our warranty, however, I understand that half of the things that $1500 policy covered werent any of the things that are going wrong, and VOLVO has been aware. There are soooo many complaints and lawsuits as well I understand. Before we could even make our first payment (approx. 05/30/2013) we got a whopping 1200.00 surprise for some sort of a valve that needed to be fixed. After threatening to turn the truck in to the financial managers they decided to fix the truck, we think, proclaiming that they did a mega inspection on the vehicle prior to selling it to us. They said they reinspected the vehicle prior to returning it to us. Then around the first week in July (In Phx, 117+ temps) the AC compressor went out. They wanted to rack up that charge to approx 1800.00 to which I informed them that our mechanic family friend could fix it for 500.00. They dropped the fee to 800.00 claiming theres no way they could have know this would happen. Thankfully they let us make 200.00 monthly payments in addition to the monthly payment on the vehicle, put at almost a 500.00 per month payment. Then we took the truck for a scheduled oil change. The dealer provided us with a list of repairs on the vehicle (1 month or two ago 02 or 03/2014) in which none of the things on there (there was a timing change/motor mounts and a couple of other things..) was an ANGLE GEAR! We recently drove a 20+ mile route home from work and got off the freeway (thank GOD) to make a left hand turn and find that the truck was making an awful sound. We thought it was a blown tire with the metal of the rim scraping the ground. After pulling over and not being able to see anything, we continued about 1.5-2 mi, very slow, to get the truck home. Parked the truck and was a bit frantic trying to figure out what it could be. Now they state that the truck is only worth $4000, the repairs are going to cost us $2600. Seriously... Im trying to find alternative corporate folks to speak to re: this. This is not right at all. My husband and I are hardworking folks who cant afford this. HELP!!

After 1.5 years we are still trying to get satisfaction on the leather seats. FYI, Volvo went to a new green dying process and it is not working. Within a couple of months, the color was flaking off our new car seats. There are no children, no pets, no abuse. I know I am not the only one with this problem. Im now working with Volvo customer service after the district rep agreed to replace only 1 seat cover. Gee, how generous. You are going to replace one cover on a $38,000 car (2010 S80)? I should have a reply this week, maybe.

Having owned a Volvo tractor truck for 4 years, I can honestly say I will never own another. Bill Gates could take lessons from Volvo on dedicated parts. Everything on a Volvo is complicated and outrageously expensive. For example I offer: The left wiper arm mount rusted and the entire apparatus had to be replaced- $775.00. A door hinge broke and an entire panel had to be replaced along with the hinge- $680.00. The interior cabinet doors have such a complicated latch I finally removed all the hardware, drilled holes and put simple knobs I bought at Lowes for $1.24. But the hinges on those doors have 6 parts and cost $60.00. Just to change a fuse you have to tear open the top of the dashboard. Do yourself a favor, dont buy a Volvo anything.

We recently ordered a new Volvo V90CC and when it arrived it did not have the option package that we ordered but did have an another, different option package that we did not order or want. Volvo Laval admitted their mistake but could only offer a replacement for delivery in five months. This timing was unworkable for us and, in return for a small discount, we were forced to take the vehicle and pay for the unwanted option package. Volvo Lavals position was we have to make money on every sale. We appealed to Volvo Canada and their response was too bad because you accepted the car. Over the years we have purchased a lot of vehicles, some better than others, but this experience of being forced to pay for options that were the result of the Dealers error is the worst. A very good reason to not deal with Volvo, ever.

I have only had this Volvo XC90 for two months. Its a 2006 with 55,000 miles on it when I purchased it. Im the second owner and the car has a clean record. After so many trips into service, I am now at 58,000 miles. I have been in five times in two months for multiple issues. Some of which were issues before I drove it off the lot which should have been caught, such as a burned out front lamp, a broken Sunroof visor door. Windshield fluid valves were turned underside the hood. Cruise control button would disengage during driving, faulty brakes, 5-year old recalls for wiper arms and tie rods.When I finished my last service, they told me I had two more problems to fix which can wait until my 60,000 mile major maintenance. Both are hoses, one which I have to pay out of my pocket. One and a half weeks later, now I have two alarm messages: anti-skid service required and anti-skid has been temporarily turned off, meaning that I have either no ABS function or no AWD function. I am truly disgusted. I wish I never bought this car even though I really love it. I feel like the dealer did not do a 22-point check for a non-lemon car. I bought this car for its high safety standards and the crossover midsize for a family of 6. I really did not get this for mass repair and high costs. I will not buy another Volvo even if its brand new.

I bought a used Volvo XC90 2004 with 45,000 miles on it. Shortly after purchasing it, I had to replace a leaking fuel pump and power steering pump. Volvo recalled the fuel pump, so they reimbursed me for that part.Half of the lights on the radio panel are out, the shifter knob broke, the passenger seat has had to be re-sewn twice, the leather on all seats cracks in spite of using good conditioners, the head liner is lifting off, and now, the gas cap isnt keeping its seal and has to be replaced.Ive owned Volvos for the last 20 years and Ive had several models. This one is definitely not the Volvo of yesteryear. Ive also noticed the car gets dents and the paint chips easily. Every trip to a parking lot seems to leave its mark. These cars used to be hard to put a ding in.

2012 C70 upholstery problems - Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. I have had this brand new car only a month and the side of the seat (welt at seam) started discoloring after a couple of weeks. It has a very light interior and I at first thought it was somehow getting dirty at the same spot on both front seats. I mentioned it to the car dealership clean up shop when we took it in for a car wash (they do complimentary). After they cleaned it, it was still the same way. Now its getting worse and upon close inspection, it is not dirt but the finish is actually wearing off the leather. It actually looks like someone painted the leather and its peeling off. We are taking the car to the dealership tomorrow and see what can be done. We are very unhappy paying this much for a car that the seats are looking bad after one month! Hopefully, something can be done and I dont know if we just got a bad batch of upholstery or what problem exists. I will try to update this when we find out more, but just wanted to see if others are experiencing this problem.

I have 2010 XC60-T6 with 20,000 miles. On Sunday Dec.18, the battery died. Next day, I had to go to work. I called Volvo Roadside Assistance and booked the towing to dealership on Monday at the earliest time, the dealership service center opens at 7am. On Monday, Dec.19 at 6 am, Roadside Assistance representative Lorain woke me up and said that my car has to be towed at 7:30am and I have to receive a conformation call at 7am. Nothing happened until 8am. I called to Roadside Assistance, spoke with manager Wendy. I was told, that towing is scheduled at 9 am. At 9 am, I called to Roadside Assistance again. Supervisor Lolita said that towing is scheduled at 10 am, which got me very upset but she said nothing she can do now. To be honest, Lolita called back in a few minutes and said, that she spoke with the towing company and they are going to pick me up in 10-15 minutes, and my lost wages, if so, can be compensated by their Costumer Service. Finally, the towing track came at 10:30 am, 4-5 hours after the first call from Volvo Roadside Assistance. My car was delivered to Bay Ridge Volvo at 11 am, it took 1-5 hours to diagnose and replace the battery. At dealership I was told, that they do not provide a replacement car during the warranty work if my car bought at the other dealership. Finally, I lost a half of my working day, which cost me $150. It could not happen if my day before scheduled towing came on time. In a few days, I received a letter with tons of apologizes. I called to Customer Service and was told by the Customer Service Specialist Tim **, that they do not compensate lost wages.That is my opinion, Volvo Customer Service, Volvo Roadside Assistance provide very bad service. Representatives give to customers wrong and false information, which can cost them money. I already had a few other issues with Volvo services (I never had anything with my Audi and Volkswagens), and I believe, this is my first and last Volvo.

My 2006 S40 was okay, until about 2009, when we started having water appear in the passenger side footwell, when it rained. I was told by the dealer that it was a known problem, with a service bulletin available from Volvo, that said it was a design problem. All Volvos since 2001, that have a sun roof, have the same issue. I was told that since the car was no longer on warranty, too bad, it was not covered. They wanted $1,700 to fix it, and told me other than having water in the footwell, it would not cause other problems.In December, 2011, the car completely died. The problem was that one of the computers (under the dash on the passenger side) was ruined, due to being wet. It cost me over $1,000 to get the computer replaced, and the repairman said that the other computers (in the same location) were also showing signs of corrosion, and damages due to the water. He also said that, in his opinion, the car was not trustworthy. It could be okay for years, or die at any time.In summary, a known design flaw that showed up after the warranty period, caused my Volvo to be a car I cannot trust, and therefore, I have decided that I will sell the car, never buy another Volvo, and tell everyone I can, not to buy a Volvo.

My parents bought the new 2016 XC60 in Dec 2015, arrived Jan 2016 - we have owned XC90 2004 in past with no problems, bought another for the safety and reliability. However the car dealership have been an disappointment. It has an electrical problem somewhere they cant trace. First replaced the amplifier a few months ago but the random & frightening loud sounds continue. Its unnerving to have the loud electrical sounds occur. It can be when you start in the garage, or just driving down the street - no warning. The Dealership says theyve not heard of this problem and are not offering a solution. I think the beautiful new car is a lemon and makes me doubt if I want to keep the Volvo. Its disappointing to see the dealership be dismissive of a senior adult couple who just wanted to buy a new car and are having this experience.

I received more than adequate amount of information on the car that I like most. In fact, I drive my vehicle of choice. I was just looking at the updated model. I’ve been driving this model car since 1990. I’ve update the model every 3 or 4 yrs. My parents also had this model car & I took my driver’s test in 1 & passed. This car is expensive but it’s worth it. In 2013 I was involved in a head on collision. It was during a snow storm & a truck cross the center line & hit me head on. It was awful. I truly believed that my car saved my life. The truck was unrecognized. My car had a smashed front end. Thank God we both survived. My car was total because they said only because of the airbags went inflated and was very expensive to repair. I bet you are wondering what type of car that I drive. It’s a VOLVO!!! The best made car in the world. I would recommend it to anyone. It’s dependable, durable, and looks great. My brother even drives one. His is brand new, mines not. But I still love it. I’ll probably will update mine when I go back to work.

My 2004 XC90 stalled at least 4 times in December 2010 as I was traveling to Lawton, Oklahoma. Just out of nowhere, everything electrical went out or blank. Then it drove like nothing was wrong. I had never had anything like this to happen since purchasing the SUV in August 2008 with 30,000 miles on it. Then in August 2011, it did the same thing. This time, I was on a very dark road trying to get home. No warning at all, I had to coast to my house. I immediately made an appointment with the Volvo Dealer in Georgetown to have it serviced, but they told my son they didnt find anything wrong but found other things wrong: Motor mount, which I had already replaced a little over a year before, something on the passenger side that was causing the tire to wear. I had already replaced the tires not even 2 years before. Windshield wipers, rear shocks and latch for the fuel lock broken. Then again on December 26, 2011, my son was driving on Interstate 35 and then it stalled 11 times. It went from 70 miles to 40 miles without any warning. Can you imagine coasting on a highway for over an hour or two! He just wanted to get it home but drove in the right lane the entire time with cars flying by him! Now, it has SRS Airbag Service Urgent message displayed. I am scared to drive it or let my son drive it for fear this will happen again and we will not be as lucky. I have contacted the dealer to which I was told to bring it right in or have it towed. I have been reading all of these complaint and I must say it has ruined my day. This was the last car that I planned to purchase but with all of these issues, I will have no choice but to trade this thing in. My only concern is that someone else will be getting this piece of junk. I own 2 Volvos and have always loved them for their safety!I also had to replace the bearing on the rear in March 2010 after having a Volvo Dealership tell me that nothing was wrong, the car is just getting older but they never even drove it! I was told that the bearings could have come off and cause an accident. My life and those riding with me at risk! I will never buy another Volvo as long as I live. Guess all good things have to come to an end. Something has to be done about this!

The sunroof in my 2007 S60 malfunctioned (wouldnt open or close and made a loud clicking noise). Upon having the problem assessed, I was told by the Volvo Maintenance shop at Volvo of Phoenix that my sunroof was DEFECTIVE and that I would have to pay over 2,000.00 for repairs and labor. A couple of days later I was offered a settlement to pay for the labor (a 900.00 plus dollar value) and they would pay for the parts. I denied the offer and stated that I should not have to pay for the DEFECTIVE sunroof. Purchasing this Volvo has been THE BIGGEST mistake of my car buying experience.Dear Mr. **, I own a 2007 Volvo S60. I am the original owner of my car and have numerous high priced issues with my car that I have had to pay for out of pocket. I recently took my S60 in for routine maintenance and have my sunroof looked at for malfunction. Upon final observation from the Volvo Dealer in Phoenix, I was informed that my sunroof was DEFECTIVE and of no fault of my own but it would cost me over 2,000.00 for repairs and labor. I was shocked at the cost and was told maybe volvo could help me out in good faith and was offered the following .

A key was lost during towing or when serviced at the dealership. Volvo required filing a formal complaint with customer service & Volvo Roadside Assistance, dealer declined any responsibility. The process was cumbersome, unresponsive, and very time-consuming. Mentioned to both departments that the customer thinks that they are working with VOLVO for resolution, not sections of the company. It was NEVER disclosed or mentioned during calls or e-mails that you are NOT working with Volvo roadside service at all but with a company called Agero. They (Agero) denied the claim. It has taken almost 3 weeks and significant hours to resolve. Volvo has now said they will pay for a key.

I brought my 2004 XC90 that had a brake failure that resulted into pushing the pedal to the floor to get it to stop. Then a warning light appears stating that the anti-skid needs service. This only happens after 20 minutes into a drive. I brought it to a Volvo dealership and they replaced the vacuum assist pump for $620. Two days later, with no loaner car, they sent me on my way. It failed again the first time. I drove it more than 20 minutes and I nearly got into an accident. This time, I was hearing a metallic sound and strong smell. I took the car in again and they told me an additional $1,700 is required. There are now more problems and whoever pulled the last brake caliper on twisted the hoses causing this problem. In addition, the ABS may need replacing which is yet another $2,000. The other work was done 14 months previously at a Volvo dealership and they say if this was the case, you would have had a problem much sooner, like right away. The dealership will not take the blame and I am facing $4,000 in repairs on top of the $620 already spent.

2018 XC60, 12 month on the road with 13,000 miles. 37 days in the repair shop, back in now. Hybrid battery replaced still with hybrid engine failure. I want to love the car, I like the technologies and wanted a plug in, but this is too much.

On December 14, 2013, I purchased, a Volvo Protection Plan, application number # **, from the business manager, ** of Volvo of Lisle. On December 20, 2013, a check for $201.00 was issued, to Paylink Payment, and mailed to him. On April 16, 2014, I received a letter from Volvo stating that Contract No. **, had not been received for processing within the 60 days of written date. It should be noted, that I have spoken to **, on several occasions, over ten times, regarding this matter. On each occasion, he assured me that the contract had been submitted and was taken care of. As of this date, May 12, 2014, I have no coverage. I am very disappointed with Volvo and ** and have since changed my service to Volvo Of Oak Park.

Purchased 2004XC90 from Volvo dealership in Atlanta, Ga. The car was a certified pre-owned Volvo with six year 100k extended warranty. I noticed the lug bolts were changing color and at a dealer service I mentioned to service adviser. He actually made a notation on my service paperwork. The car was under the mileage restriction as well as the time restraint. This car has been maintained to the gills with all services during this time being done at Volvo Dealership(s). People are amazed at the condition of car when we tell them its eleven years old!Volvos solution was to put cheap plastic (chrome-looking) caps over the lug bolts. They provided at no charge. This was the only item on the car that did not look right. This past year, after having numerous problems with cheap caps coming off, getting removed at service and not replaced at either the dealer or National Brand Tire Store, I decided to research after market lug bolts online. I also went to Volvo Dealership to purchase one lug bolt to have as a reference to several aftermarket lugs. I wanted to make sure I was getting same size lugs. Interestingly, the Volvo lug was in a sealed plastic bag with blue writing stating, warranty product or warranty material. I then decided that Volvo should do the right thing. I took all 25 lug bolts off the car and sent them to Volvo in New Jersey. Their consumer service top level regional person after several days decided, unfortunately they could not replace them. The bottom line, as a Volvo consumer, I feel the lug bolts should have been replaced at that service. Since that point in time, I have used an independent shop for both Volvos I own. I was recently talking with a Volvo salesman about potentially buying a new XC60 for my daughter graduating from Ga. Tech in May 2015. Oh well, I can vote with my pocketbook. No new Volvos for this family. Oh by the way, Volvo Cars of North America (or is that CHINA?), Im no longer your CUSTOMER FOR LIFE. Later...

What didnt happen is a better question. I bought a used 2001 XC70. What a joke. As soon as it reached 65,000, the transmission failed. From there, everything that could go wrong did, the timing belt, engine mounts, axles. I have spent thousands of dollars on this piece, thinking it would turn around. Clearly, everyone I hear about has problems with this car, especially this make and model. I’d like to get a class action started. It’s unconscionable what this company has done, screwing people with a good looking piece of junk!

This is my 2nd Volvo (over the past 16 yrs) and I have had very good experiences w/ Volvo cars. XC60 is less than 4 yrs old and I have run into an alternator problem w/ a $2000 bill. Hoping I can keep the Faith w/ Volvo and they do not do me wrong. Palo Alto, CA Volvo dealership has always been very professional.

The four cylinder turbo gets great gas mileage while delivering excellent power. Although the Volvo Passat B5 is a wagon model it handles like a sports car. It has all the bells and whistles that one really needs, great sound system, heat and air, heated leather seats, great visible instrument cluster, cruise, all power windows, seats, and lots of space for groceries or camping gear in the back. Great Car.

Purchased this car, and while driving on the freeway ran out of gas. Estimated mileage had shown I had 50 miles to go, when I ran out. Since I was on the freeway, I had to quickly pull over and it caused me to hit some home. A bit of damage happened to the front of the car. Sensor cap fell off. Volvo offered to only replace that. Dealership had to replace the fuel gauge, and the gas door (that wouldnt open). A lot of faulty sensors with this car. Rear camera stops working when it gets wet. Air conditioner randomly stops working. Front driver’s side window rolls down slowly. Can keep the air conditioner running when you lock the car from the outside, as it shuts down the engine. Radio always seems to be playing when car is off. The self braking system goes off randomly, almost causing crashes. Bought this car because it’s a Volvo. Suppose to be safe for the little family... Its not.

The dealer I got this new Volvo semi truck from is CIT Trucks Springfield IL. The front wheels came loose, wheel bearing loose, tool box doors loose, but driveshaft has damage the whole driveline. This truck is not safe. Video on Youtube (Volvo truck shakes).

I bought the Volvo S60 2017 model couple of weeks back from authorised Volvo dealer, I have the warranty for 2 years. I experienced the vibration on the accelerator pedal and steering wheel, so I raised an issue to Volvo dealer and they took it immediately for servicing and they said they fixed something but it did not resolve the issue and I had the same vibration on accelerator pedal and steering wheel, so they again take it back for servicing and after one day they reported the problem cannot be fixed and I have to drive with this vibration as long as I keep this car. How can they say this when the car is still in warranty and no solution for it.

Wheel fell off New XC60 at 580 miles. Driving on the freeway at rush hour, probably doing 30 MPH the front drivers side wheel departed the car. I drove safely off the highway and the wheel didn’t hit any other vehicles. Volvo USA claimed no responsibility, the dealer sent me away with no support. Repairs cost just over $6400. Volvo USA’s FSR said if the wheel wasn’t properly torqued it would have failed with 10 miles. Volvo San Diego stated that they DID NOT check wheel lug torque during Pre Delivery Inspection.Volvo San Diego’s service manager John ** told me that the FSR checked all the lug nuts remaining on the car and they were all “torqued perfectly” - this is improbable since at the scene of the failure I thought I might put the spare on and drive to the dealer - I removed one lug nut on each of the passenger side wheels - when I actually saw the damage on the drivers side I realized what a stupid idea it was and put them back on the car - but the chances I put those two nuts back on at 105 ft lbs with the tiny lug wrench in the car “perfectly” are extremely remote.Mr ** also said they could only get one of the 5 lug nuts on the hub that failed to torque properly, but this damage was due only damage at the time the wheel left the car. I would ask how did they determine this give they didn’t check before delivering the car. I asked Volvo USA to provide the calibration records for the equipment used to install the wheels at the factory in China for the time of assembly. They didn’t even respond to this request - except to acknowledge it was received. I believe Volvo did not properly investigate this incident, they failed to properly back their product and their dealer let me down as a customer by totally ignoring this failure and to my knowledge they still don’t do a basic safety inspection of checking torque on lug nuts before allowing customers to drive away.

I have a 2005 XC90. I have had a rubbing noise coming from my car from the last two years. I have brought it to the attention of the dealer, who says it cant be replicated. But every time I sit in the drivers seat, I hear it. In fact, passengers have complained about it. Only the dealer cant hear it. This is when I had a warranty on it including an extended warranty. Today, the dealer can replicate it and they hear it loud and clear. But alas, my car now is out of warranty. Herb Gordon Volvo says it is my angle gear and wanted $3k+ to fix it, used part at $1.7k + labor. I found a used angle gear with 37k miles in a salvage yard and put it in, but the sound is still there. Then they blamed my after market brakes which I put on well after these complaints started. I also had issues with loss of power especially when driving during cold weather. Then now radio is dead, no lights or sound coming from it. Dealer says $1.2k to replace the ICM. I got another ICM from a salvage yard and it does not work either. I have friend who has a similar XC90 with same radio type, that does not work either. But my ICM works on his. I cant understand Volvo. What used to be a very reliable car with a safety record has turned into a safe car that is impossible to maintain. Problem might be with these dealers. In my opinion, if the dealer had diagnosed it right when it was under warranty, I wouldnt have this problem now. Volvo, you need to rethink your strategy. As far as I know, this is my last Volvo.

This review is describing the experience with 2021 Volvo S60 T6 AWD Inscription, having last for VIN digits **. The car was ordered in June of 2020 and delivered to the dealer from factory on 10/23/2020. It was equipped with all available options, including Polestar software, with out-of-door price of $57,450. The car was received from the dealer (Volvo Cars Mission Viejo) on 10/29/20, approximately 90 miles away from my residence – no San Diego dealer was actually willing to order the car using preconfigured specifications from Volvo website.The car failed at mile 28 away from the dealership – the odometer was at 34 miles. The first indication was that “signals are at fault”, immobilizing the left turn signaling. When the dealer was contacted the same afternoon, we were told that the car needs to be towed in (from 90 miles away), since one should not drive without operational signals. We never heard from them again. That was just the beginning of the S60 experience.During the next few days, we tried to contact Volvo directly, who advised us “that it is now dealership problem”. Not receiving any response from Volvo Cars Mission Viejo, we tried to schedule local (San Diego) service. We were put thru gauntlet, being berated by “why did you not buy the car from us” and “it serves you well since you did not buy the car here”.Finally, the car was taken to San Diego Volvo, by scheduling the appointment and the car loaner. The “customer adviser” did not show up at scheduled time; we were told to “wait until someone shows up”, since “he owns the appointment”. Hours later, he did show up and informed us that there is “no car loaner” – in spite of guarantee that one would wait for us. Having no choice, we left the car with the dealership overnight.The next morning, I was informed that the car is “repaired” – the claim was that the entire left-side electronic module (responsible for 360 camera and signaling) was faulty and was replaced. Attempting to collect the car the next day, we were presented with the same fault (no signal, no 360 degree camera) and were sent back on our way (sans car), forced to leave the car over the weekend. The next week, we were summoned again to collect the car. This time around, the car functioned for 3 (three) full days, resuming the same fault. It then escalated: it refused to start, at random intervals.We are now stuck with a brand-new vehicle (less than 500 miles on the odometer) and no recourse other than to hire an attorney. As far as buying this car – please pass. While it looks good on paper (which is why we bought it), it is the most unreliable vehicle I have ever had – including the garage queen Audi Q5. When it does drive, it is inferior to A4 and much, much worse than any Lexus sedan we owned (LS and GS). Any comparison with BMW 3 series (presumed competition) is just laughable – its handling is boat-like for anyone accustomed to BMW precision and stiff chassis. However, much, much worse than the vehicle is actual Volvo customer “support” – it turns out that there is no such thing in existence.

I needed my Volvo to serviced and took the car to an authorized representative. I expected a modicum of politeness from the agent, but none was on offer. MY wife asked a pretty innocuous request, which was how long the car might take to repair/service. This was a company car which was of no interest to me apart from when I might get back to work. But the Volvo representative, for whatever reason, wanted to be nasty and told my wife to shut up and sit down. When I challenged the Manager on this behavior he was also uninterested. The Car was Serviced but I complained to Volvo about this and they did nothing. As a result they lost the ability to provide 150 cars. Was their rudeness a good financial decision? Only they know.

After several visits and calls, a price was negotiated and agreed with credit card on file for two XC60 2012 autos. I was told to be at the dealership between 3:30PM and 4PM today to sign the papers and get the cars. I arrived at 3:36PM and was told that someone was buying one of the two cars. No solution was offered and I left the dealership: Volvo Village of Danvers, sales manager Alfonso **.

To start I bought the xc60 based on all the research and feedback I got from people who had/have experienced Volvo and other consumer reports for its safety. All I ever heard was how long they last and how they are a very reliable brand. Unfortunately I have had less than that experience and so far the service at the dealership has to date put a nail in the coffin so to speak. I should begin with the oil consumption problem, which btw Volvo is fully aware of. After multiple trips back and forth to the dealer, specific testing done on the car with test results that were sent directly to Volvo themselves for a diagnosis! They offered to correct the problem and replace the parts in the engine in order for it to run and consume oil and fuel properly. Amongst many other trivial issues such as alignment, vent issues and speaker problems, the oil consumption problem is my biggest concern. I have two beautiful children I drive around in that vehicle! The first time I had an issue the car was almost completely out of oil! What if the engine seized? I spent thousands on the car which btw I bought brand new! It doesnt have much time left on its warranty and I contacted Volvo to extend the warranty solely on the new parts they replaced due to the issue. Nothing less, nothing more! They denied my request and I am beyond frustrated! So dissatisfied by this purchase!

The volume of service issues with this car (2016 XC90) is incredible. I am working to have all of my service records released and then will post them for proof. Issues are as follows: On 10 hour trip - autopilot cut out - this is a charged accessory upgrade. On a 5 hour trip - autopilot unavailable again. On a 5 hour trip returning home and ALL audio shuts off. Navigation was not communicating so it was then noticed that no music, not turn signal noise, no locking noise, no nothing. Coolant light came on - refilled after FINALLY finding someone who could tell me where to locate. Came on again. Dealer said they have noticed this issue a few times... Hose is clamped too tight from factory and needs replaced.

Lately, my VOLVO 2004 XC70 cross county Station Wagon the Low Beam Light not Working and also I need to have a change oil for yearly Services. But before I make an appointment to the Volvo Service, I make sure to check my car the Low Beam. I change both bulb to a new purchased and working bulb. The one on the left did not work. So possible just a fuse. I check the below base of the car and no leak at all, as usual I do before the change Oil appointment. After I made an appointment, the VOLVO advisor recommend me to have a total check for the 90K so easy to know whatever to be recommend for the car. I received a call after an hour and told me that there is leaking in the car and the crompton leak need to be fix and cost me $1400.00. So I told them I just need the change oil and fix the bulb, and even told them that before I went to them, there is no leaking before I sent for service. After the service, I went home and see again below the car and has no leaking. The following day upon I start my car in my car garage and back off, I see drops of oil in the floor. I know this will happen by denying their recommendation. See How this Dealer are doing instead of helping the consumers, instead just for their commission and continue to fool they keep in recommending such unworthless info. I am not telling all of these Advisors. My Mercedes Benz just happen I have a good Dealer Advisor who help us a lot by not making us fool.

This new Volvo is a real success and is very advanced (re. media, etc). It reads your SMS f.i., but DOES NOT WARN YOU when you will be out of petrol. I am expecting an alert (sound, flashing sign, or...), but this car has none of this. The very small petrol pump (invisible on the dashboard) turn orange, that is all. As a result, I got stuck 6 time in 15000 km including on motorways, costly and humiliating experience. I wrote to Volvo Sweden, but did not get even a receipt, and the garage told me this is like this and Gutbrod has NO plan so far to add an alert, which you would find on a DAF in 1980! I am disgusted!

It looks good, the safety features are top notch, it’s easy to handle and it’s safe. The interior is beautifully crafted and the warranty covers almost everything.

Volvo is very good and decent. I like the tape in the car. I like the size as its smaller and compact. It has nice color, comfortable seats and great design. Overall easy to drive and to park. But it is too expensive, hard to maintain and do repairs for. It is a bit unpractical and a bit weak for longer distance. It is too much of a city car and not functional inside for water bottle area and trunk opener. There are a few features that should be improved over time, but not a bad model.

We bought a 2015 Volvo S80 Inscription package. Has been a fabulous car. However after 3 years of use - the leather piping around the drivers seat has become unstitched and the plastic insert is coming out. Sent a photo to Volvo and they stated not a defect - it is due to wear. Therefore not covered under the warranty. My husband weighs 140 lbs and I am 120 lbs. It is unbelievable that this would happen after 3 years. I have a 2008 Audi TT with leather seats that are pristine after 10 years. They quoted us $1400 to repair. Absolutely insane. Will not buy Volvo again.

I took my car (2007 XC90) to a Volvo dealership 35 miles away from home for my 75,000 maintenance service. I paid $2,333.80 which included brakes, brake discs and rotor replacement. Two days later, the red warning light /message center was on, saying fluid brake low, urgent service needed. I called the service advisor I was working with and he said that its not a big deal, theyll fix it. Three days later, he called and said that I will need to have the brake fluid reservoir replaced. I havent even brought my car back yet, and he already knows this is the problem? First of all, my car was fine before I brought it to them. The problem started after they worked on the brakes. He was charging me $300 for the reservoir replacement. I went to Les Schwab who were kind enough to to check my brakes for free. No problem was found. They said it could be a sensor issue. I am so disappointed. Ive had previous issues with the car - Im sick and tired of it. Car is paid off, but Im trading it. Id rather drive a Honda Accord. No more Volvos for me. I will not recommend it to family, friends or co-workers.

Random airbag exploding -- O.k. Volvo v70 rainy evening. I go to my car to run an errand, get in, start it and BOOM! Thought I had been shot. I turned the car off jumped out half deaf and realized what had happen. What the hell.

Beware, I leased a Volvo XC90 Inscription, on February 2020, at the first week wheel start shaking while braking. This week again took it to service as warning for ABS, hand brake and transmission went on. Two days later I was told that one part is back ordered for at least two weeks, call customer care and was told that they will record the issue, in the meantime I am driving an old Nissan that was given as a “loaner”. I guess I have to get use to this old Nissan and pay for top of the line Volvo!

Im writing you in frustration and disappointment as to the very poor customer treatment Ive received from Volvo USA. Ive many emails on file, between us which cover the situation. It has to do with an engine fire to our 2009 S80. This was well documented in a recall of this car and model year. Our Volvo did catch engine fire due to the exact circumstances as outlined in the 2009 recall. Volvo agents inspected the car, it’s obvious the car fire is precisely as described in the recall! I sent Volvo service records and a complete CarFax history, proving this car has been impeccably maintained exclusively by authorized Volvo dealers. I’ve accumulated a lot of data, that IN FACT our model and year WAS on Federal recall lists for this exact situation. Our Volvo is a total loss. The engine fire left it with no useful value to anyone. We need to buy another car but unable to afford one at this time. I appeal to you to find us a way through this loss. ++++++++++FYI: Volvo Recall R214: Engine Cooling Fan Module/Johnson Electric - 2009 Volvo S80. This situation may result in loss of cooling system function and engine failure. The driver may not have sufficient time to react to the warning light(s) or the text message in the instrument panel, increasing the risk of a crash. Engine And Engine Cooling — Cooling System — Fan. Volvo is recalling 17,614 MY 2008-2009 S80, V70, and XC70 vehicles. The engine cooling fan may stop working due to a software programming error in the fan control module (FCM). Summary: On certain passenger and sport utility vehicles, under certain operating conditions, some electric cooling fans may overheat potentially causing heat damage and, in rare instances, a fire in the engine compartment. Consequence A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COULD OCCUR.

I bought this car used, one owner. 2013. Excellent car due to all wheel drive and the power of the turbo engine. It is a very responsive car. It is sporty and fun, yet a nice family sedan when needed. I drive my grandchildren who sit in the back seat and I feel they are very protected. The body style for this year is beautiful and I have received many many compliments on it. My neighbor even bought one for these reasons. I hear that the company has been bought by China. The body style has changed drastically this year and is not near as attractive. I dont think I will buy another one for this reason. They ruined the look.

We bought our 2018 Volvo XC90 T8 on September 2017. On June 2018, the car fuel filler pipe is under recalled and the car was in the shop for a couple of days. In September 2018, the check engine light came up and the car is once again in the shop to have the fuel filler pipe change again and at the same time, the door handle electronic fail and need to be replaced. After the replacement and the Sirius firmware update, the car acted funny and is not able to charge properly. The dealer has to diagnose for a couple of weeks before determining that the car needs a new thermostat.Once again the car is in the shop to have the thermostat changed. After the thermostat is changed, the car shows error in communicating with the Volvo on call server and the car is back to the shop to have the VCM electronic firmware upgrade and later on replaced due to VCM module faulty. After the VCM is changed, check engine light came on and once again the car is in the shop and have the fuel filler pipe changed for the 3rd time. During the same time, the sunroof failed and the electronics for the sunroof is also changed.By this time (Dec 2018), the car was in and out of the dealer service shop for 5 to 6 times and the car was in the shop for more than 30 days. We filed a complaint to Volvo that the car is a lemon according to the Lemon law in Texas. (If the car is in the shop for more than 30 days or serious safety hazzard malfunction replaced for 3 times) Since Dec 7, 2018 when the complaint is filed, Volvo did NOT come back with any reply for a month (Jan 7 2019). We are now thinking of getting a Lemon Law Lawyer to help us with our case.

Our Volvo has been in the shop for endless warranty repairs. Now, our warranty has expired. Each time we travel to Ithaca, NY to have the car repaired, it costs us $64.00 in fuel costs as we have to leave the car there a day or two and it requires two trips with two vehicles to accomplish this. Is this just a financial burden we have to accept?

I love the Volvo. The handling and traction are exceptional and the all wheel drive acts like a 4 wheel drive. Ours is white so it maintains a cleaner appearance. The sunroof and leather interior, although very hot in the summer months, are also great and the heated seats are a joy during the winter months. The price we got the car for could not have been better too. And the gas mileage is as good as a brand new car. Its just that it has no cup holders and its tires always appear low because they are low profile tires.

I loved my 2011 XC90 when I first bought it. The interior was more luxurious than my previous BMWs. It was spacious, had amazing storage space, and had all the bells and whistles one would expect from a car that cost more than $50,000. The car is almost 5 years old, but from the beginning, there have been numerous unexpected problems. The first came when the CD player broke. For some time after the dealer fixed this, which involved taking apart the dashboard to remove the broken stereo, I heard an odd cracking noise. It turned out to be a long, hairline crack forming in the glass panel that housed the odometer. The crack originated from under the dashboard and was about 3 inches long - no doubt caused when they took apart the stereo. When I took it in for repair, Volvo warranty refused to cover this saying that I had deliberately cracked the glass! There is no way this was possible seeing how I would have had to take apart the dashboard. Nuts! The Volvo repair people believed me but said they werent authorized to fix it given that the regional Volvo repair guru had said no. They told me to call Volvo customer service, which I did, but was denied because they took the word of the idiot who evaluated my car. So whatever, I had to let it go. After all, it was just a crack.Since then, my air conditioning has imploded, shooting shrapnel throughout the hoses and the car and causing two weeks of repairs. The leather on the seats is coming apart and wearing thin. I have to replace my tires every 17,000 miles because of the way the Volvo drives. I am constantly running low on oil between service appointments. And now - and this one is my absolute favorite - rats have apparently decided to get inside my hood and eat through the engine wiring while I sleep at night. Oh yes, Volvo wires must just taste better than those in our BMW or Toyota. This is just another reason why I will never buy another crappy Volvo. I should have stuck with BMW.

I visited Volvo of Dallas who I called several times over a 1 year period and asked about the recalls since my car has been dying when I make sharper turns and it acts like its going to flood out while accelerating. I have 2 small children and I would bet I have the most unsafe vehicle on the road. After I paid the dealership, they kept my car for a week with no diagnosis and wanted me to pay another 300 to keep it another week.I bought my car in late 2005 and its a 2004 v70 with 1100 miles at the time. It has about 92k miles now and the plastic part of the door is peeling off, the stirring wheel has melted over the years and the most important issues are the safety issues I mentioned above. I used to love Volvo and I would not recommend a Volvo to my worst enemy today. I am going to pay thousands of dollars to replace my CAT converter and Ive always changed my oil and had tune ups. I am disappointed in the service as well as the product.

I bought a 1998 Volvo Cross Country v70 AWD turbo charged station wagon. Within a day of purchase, the car overheated. The lot said to bring it in. The car sat there all day and I picked it up untouched. I had the cracked radiator replaced, only to find it started running badly. I put it in the shop, they still have it; $2,400.00 later, the third gear was shattered. Turbo is completely missing from the car, as well as rear drive line, so it is neither all wheel drive or turbo charged. The fuel injection system needs to be replaced, it wont pass smog and the lot (Robert **) has not paid DMV fees that I paid to him. There are no plates for the car. I have begun an investigation for fees and plate with DMV. Also, the front two tires were bald at purchase and I had to replace them. I found out the car has a salvaged title. I bought the car out of desperation for $3,900.00 and after repairs, it will cost almost $10,000.00. What can I do legally with this terrible as is purchase?

S40 - So 2 chums and I were out on the town and decided to acquire us a few fine quality bean bag-type chairs. And lo and behold we get our fine seatery out to our automotive transport only to find that we dont have enough room for the newly acquired chairs in the car. Now I know that a sedan isnt the biggest car in the world, but I feel as though we were short changed on adequate bean bag storage.

I bought a brand new V40 D2 1.6 last year. I have had nothing but problems with the car since a few months after I made my purchase. During the first few months there was a problem with the airbag and the car had to be recovered to a garage. A few months ago black smoke was coming out of the car on a cold start and the vehicle started to shudder. The car has been at the dealers for 6 weeks now and no one seems to know what is wrong with it. The customer relations team from Volvo UK have been shocking. They are rude and far from courteous when you call. One female customer relations representative informed me I should be grateful for a courtesy car that was better speck than my vehicle. Really helpful! I am still waiting to speak to the male who is in charge of my case. You are left feeling a burden even though its the company that have burdened you by selling you a car that isnt fit for purpose. It is unlikely that I will purchase another Volvo or recommend one to anyone else.

I am the happy owner of a Volvo V60 T6 2015, my first Volvo, in replacement of a Subaru Forester XT 2014. I just want to say how Im happy with my car. I know most of people on that website are writing about problem they have and thats ok, but I think it is important to also tell people when you dont have problem. :-)I have my car for one year now, only 16000 km, not a lot, but enough time to say if you like the car or not. Most of the problem usually appears during the first year.The engine is great, the old one, the six cylinder with turbo, 300 hp, you really have that power fast on the highway, very secure car, not a sporty car but enough sporty for me. I have some fun with that car, a pleasure to drive on any way, great and wonderful sport seats, great finish and quality inside AND outside. Zero problem! I am Canadian and the awd works perfectly, not as great as the Subaru one, but a very good one! You have plenty of space in the hatch, thats why I love wagon (Im European :-)).Also, customer service is perfect at least at the dealer, everything perfect there. Also, price for services is the same as Subaru. If you compare year and kilometers (every 10000km for Subaru!!! Every 160000 km for Volvo) Subaru is so expensive and so bad quality with so many problems... So, go away and take a Volvo, at least a model which is on sale for a while, because for new ones, I suggest to wait for at least two years to avoid any problem on the first production years!

Three months ago I decided to trade in a fantastic 2017 Volvo V60 for the brand new Volvo V90 Cross Country because the new Volvo cars platform and design is so beautiful. I test drove the vehicle and liked it enough. Something inside told me that I would miss the V60 but went ahead with the new car because I was offered a great lease deal. About two weeks afterward I was virtually convinced I had made a bad choice and it all stemmed from three things:The digital screen is the “crown jewel” of all new Volvos, no more physical buttons on these new cars except for a few. I believe that because it is a brand technology for the brand, it needs a LOT of refinement. The systems is slow starting up, it also acts up unwarranted at random times, it would drop phone calls intermittently and reconnect the same way, the cross traffic sensors would go off randomly even when stopped at a red traffic light and nothing or no one around me would be either present, moving close by or approaching my vehicle. I listen to music through streaming my phone, but the sound system sounded weak if I only streamed. On the other hand if I connected the phone or an iPod physically to the USB port then it would sound good. The back-up camera would work appropriately only 60% of the time The car is very heavy, and honestly, the T5 engine is not powerful enough to haul the vehicle, I strongly suggest the T6 engine. Which brings me to the last issue, gas mileage is not the best precisely because of issue number two above. All this just led me to trade the lease back to my previous V60 as I was lucky it had not sell yet and still was available. Final thought from me; I am sure that in three or four years Volvo will master the touch screen infotainment and when that happens then their cars will truly be amazing, because their design is impeccable.

DO NOT BUY a Volvo unless you want one headache after another... They are horrible. And if you have a problem and call the 800 full phone number they will not help you with anything. Bought a used 2005 XC90, paid $ 7000. After 3 months the transmission went out. Got a used transmission to replace the old one, now a month later the electrical is shot. And although there is a recall and a fire hazard for this year and model, the Volvo company says my Vin number is not covered. WTF! Great way to do business

We bought a XC60 from new, its had the same ongoing fault since the start. They have never managed to fix it and the car has been in the garage on many, many occasions, which in itself is a pain. I was told that as it was an ongoing fault that it would be kept under warranty. Now its passed its warranty and has the same fault, we now have to pay to get it fixed!!! Its unbelievable and never known such poor customer service. Do not touch Volvo!!!!

I have been owning only Volvo cars for almost 15 years now, and my experience has been mostly positive. I sold my 2001 S40 with 142k miles, and it was still driving fine. No major repairs were made during the first 100k. Afterwards, repair costs started going up, but engine and transmission were solid. Ive owned a C30 for two years as well, and nothing ever broke down. Based on my discussions with Volvo mechanics, here is what I would advise you:1. Never buy a new model within the first 1-3 years of introduction. Engineers keep improving these cars year after year, based on real driving experience coming from customers. By the 4th year of production reliability improves to superior levels. 2. Stay away from fancy electronics, add-ons, options, sunroofs, and so on. Their engineers spend most of their time and money on safety/strength, engine and transmission. 3. Buy the most common engine in production, especially one that can be found across platforms. 4. Change the oil on time and do the required maintenance. These cars may give you headaches from time to time, especially with high mileage. But if there is ever an accident, you will walk away laughing and texting. Volvo is still a great company, even under Chinese ownership.

I own a 2000 Volvo S80 T6 that had to have a used transmission installed. $2600 after labor. Then my water pump started spraying out water which will be a $1000. The wiring is so complicated. My running light blinks work off and on. My headlights leak water. The sun roof will stop working occasionally. The leather wears quickly. The trunk button stopped working. It dents easy for a Volvo and the CD player screen looks like the first computer screen ever made. Other than that, for 260000 miles, even after the temp redlining, the engine’s been holding steady and the twin turbo makes it a fun ride in comfort and style.

My 2013 Volvo XC90 has a warning to service the Anti Skid system. This first happened on Jan 9th, 2016. I called Glen Cove Volvo the first thing on Monday, Jan 11th. Glen Cove Volvo said they could not even look at my car for two weeks due to capacity issues. I offered to have it fixed at my local shop if they reimbursed me (since this is under warranty). They said that is not an option. I was told to check other Volvo dealers, the next closest one is 30 mins away and they had a one week wait. So Volvo has left me with no options. I now have to drive a week in NY in January with potential snow and ice with no anti skid system because Volvo obviously does not care for its customers. I will never deal with any Volvo dealer again.

Five months ago, we bought a 2007 Volvo VNL670 truck at Arrow Truck Tampa, FL (a Volvo authorized dealer). In less than thirteen weeks, we have had to replace the EGR valve six times. I contacted Volvo customer satisfaction department after the third replacement. Today, with three more replacements in between, and after an engineer from technical support called the dealer where the truck is now, the dealers are saying that probably the fault wasnt the EGR from the beginning. They are replacing the gaskets that also might affect the valve performance, to see if that is the problem. The dealer also said that almost all engines have problems with the EGR valves, or other parts involved in that process. So, what is Volvo waiting for? Volvo trucks in North America should do a recall on that engine; replace a system that they are aware is not working properly and that the truck owners in this country are paying the price and the consequences.

First of all, let me say Ive been driving Volvos for over 28 years and absolutely love this brand. Im currently on my 4th. The first Volvo I purchased in 1985 saved my life in a head-on collision. Im currently driving the XC60 and thoroughly enjoy driving this car as I am in sales and drive at least 25,000/yr. With that being said, the condition of the seats wearing in the lower lumbar is not up to Volvos usual high standards. I bought this latest car in Jan. 2012 and had to replace the drivers seat after just 4 months because the pigment was wearing off as if I had rubbed it off with sand paper. Its now early March, and the drivers seat again looks completely worn in the exact same area. Now, even the passenger seat is wearing, and Ive probably had someone sitting in that seat for less than a total of 5 hours since the purchase. I keep cars for a minimum of 100K miles and expect this kind of seat wear after at least 3-4 years of driving, not 4 months or even a year. I love everything about Volvos and have kept each one for at least 7 years or more, yet the leather on this model seems to be well below the usual Volvo quality standards Ive come to expect and have always been more than willing to pay. I hope Volvo will work with me to resolve this hiccup because being in sales, I understand the meaning of customer service after the sale. I look forward to getting this resolved and continuing to drive Volvos for many years to come.

This Volvo car is overall far superior to any other car that Ive owned. Great comfort, ergonomics, reliability, smooth ride, lots of space and good power.

Like many of you, I am a die hard Volvo fan. A loyal Volvo customer, I purchased my Certified Pre-owned Volvo XC-60 a few days ago. Its almost brand new and a beautiful vehicle. I was very excited to set up the Volvo On Call app on my iPhone. It doesnt work! I ignored a few negative on-line reviews about Volvo On Call app and service. Do NOT overlook these reviews!Sadly, it took me over 5 phone calls to set the app up. Then, after paying $200 to get the app functional, it worked for one day. I was happy until the next day when the app totally failed. No services available! I called Volvo On Call... They said it will be fixed within 24 hours. Giving 24 hours, I didnt use the app. I then tried to use the app (well past 24 hours), to no avail! The app doesnt even recognize my account. It wanted me to start all over again (!).Frustrated, I called and asked Volvo for a refund. The answer... No! We dont refund for the app... I explained that its not working. Volvo, reluctantly, offered a mail-in 30 percent off coupon, which I declined. I dont want 30 percent off. I want the Volvo On Call app that I just paid $200 for to work properly, as it should. As a loyal Volvo owner, I am extremely dissatisfied. I almost purchased an Audi. I am thinking that would have been the better choice now. If you purchase a new Volvo, please be aware that the Volvo On Call app may not work! Even Volvo management will not offer you a refund - or seemingly care - if your Volvo On Call app is working properly or not. Buyer beware on this app!My Volvo is a wonderful vehicle, for sure! However, dont trust the technology or the service before you provide your credit card, as I did. Sorry, Volvo. Youve let down one of your biggest fans in me. I would recommend a Volvo, but its impossible for me to recommend that someone I care about spends $200 per year for the Volvo On Call app, as the service doesnt work and is abhorrent, at best. Please think twice before buying this app and trusting the service like I did. Its a very frustrating and disappointing experience. I cant get a refund, and the app truly doesnt perform well at all. Its good app in theory, but it lacks the practical expectation of functionality. Regretfully submitted, a frustrated and disappointed Volvo enthusiast.

Our new XC60 EDrive has had a number of problems. The one lasting the longest and most frustrating is our door locks/seat position settings. To make the vehicle keep the seat from automatically moving by itself, we have to set the door locks so that when you open one door it unlocks them all. The engineers in Sweden have been working on it to no avail. I wont drive the car anymore because I dont feel safe in parking lots unlocking all of the doors. Customer service doesnt even respond to our calls or emails. We thought when we bought a luxury brand, we would get safety and service. Turns out we are getting neither.

S60 - A SAFE CAR, that is comfortable to ride in, does highways well, and you dont hear about VOLVO having recalls for mechanical or air bag defects! Also good service experience, so they keep the car in tip top shape.

We owned a Volvo V70 XC for over 17 years with low mileage of only 67K+ miles. We took it to service always on schedule and had received good service. Recently we moved to California. We took our car for full service immediately upon arrival. Soon after the full service we found our handbrakes rather not so responsive. We brought it back for adjustment. Next, we noticed that the AC does not work, brought it back and was told there was nothing wrong, but the serviceman topped up the coolant a bit. We went on a trip through the hot dry interior of California assuming the AC is fixed. The AC did not work and we had to suffer 110 degrees in the car. We brought the car back the second time. We were told the service had refilled the AC with an extra amount of coolant and we paid $130 for labor plus the coolant cost. Took the car home only to find the AC still did not work. We went back for the third time. By now we told the service dept attendant that the problem must be with the fan. The serviceman checked the fan finally, found it defective, and installed a new one. We were presented a new bill of $139 for labor plus cost for the fan. We refused to pay for the labor charge because they failed to check the fan from previous visits, and we had to return for the third time to get the AC fixed. The serviceman refused to settle telling us that we did not tell the service counter attendant to check the fan. He denied responsibility and blamed us instead. We argued the problem involved two parts, the coolant and the fan that makes up the AC system and that the serviceman should have inspected both parts and repaired accordingly. It was the most unpleasant experience we ever had over 17 years of owning this Volvo. We do not think we would consider another Volvo.

My 2005 Volvo > 110,000 miles has caused me to feel scared every time you drive this car. Spent over $2000$ for repairs and still not resolved. Car buckles shut down while driving on main road. All lights go on and car just stops. This has happen >2times paid for repairs and still no resolve. I am afraid to even know how much money this car is going to bled from me. Although it is paid for I dont know if its worth the pain or consequences of death? Help Florida Volvo owner, Death Trap.

I too purchased a 2009 Volvo 780 from TEC Volvo in Portland in May 2012, with 436k miles. The list of repairs is extensive and ongoing to this day. Started from second day of ownership with 4 batteries and has grown to include the following list, minus dates but all documentation is at hand: 1. 2 CAC 2. 2 turbo to CAC pipes 3. 1 CAC to intake boot 4. 2 belt tensioners 5. Idler pulley 6. 1 alternator 7. 1 differential pressure sensor along with cleaning of venturies. 8. 4 boost sensors (2 on manifold, 2 on mixer box) 9. Exhaust manifold 10. EGR 11. Injector #3 and 6 injector cups 12. 1 turbo 13. 1 bellows pipe (flex pipe on exhaust) 14. 1 clean 7th injector. The next day, replaced the 7th injector. 15. I-Shift transmission (thankfully under warranty) 16. Clutch - one month after transmission along with several trips for engagement and disengagement issues resulting in several thousands in bills just to find the transmission had the wrong programming 17. Rear ends and power divider rebuilt because of broken thrust washers and damaged gears. 18. Brake shoes, slack adjusters and chambers on both rear axles. 19. Several air leaks 20. Exhaust clamps had to be replaced because they failed behind cab. 21. 3 rear suspension leveling valves 22. 1 cab leveling valve 23. Fuel pump/power steering pump 24. Engine wiring harness 25. Manifold and EGR gaskets due to leaks after repairs. 26. Hood struts 27. Shocks all around the truck28. Had to replace all ten tire because of some kind of foreign substance inside destroyed the internal lining of the tires (looked like grease or tire goop in large quantities.Now, I just yesterday spent $500 to dyno the truck and it falls on its face so bad that they could not complete the dyno test. Lost 58hp in 160rpm drop and now Volvo tells me I need 6 injectors and cups which runs 5-6k dollars and the problems continue. One thing that has plagued me since purchase is fault mid 128 sid 102 fmi 11 manifold boost pressure/root cause unknown. Tens and tens of thousands and still no fix. In 13 months of ownership, Im over $50k in repairs and another $50k+ in lost revenue and down time. Damn ridiculous if you ask me. Im broke and Volvo keeps playing guessing games and throwing parts at the truck instead of fixing the POS.

My experience with Volvo S60 has been worse. In my first service I was told that the front tire is having problem and needs to be replaced. Until that time I didnt have knowledge of price of the tire so I was charged $380.54 plus tax (total of $429). In fourth service, again my tire went flat and I was told both front tire needs to be replaced and rim too. I was charged $1048 this time. First of all I was told when I was leasing the car that additional warranty covers almost everything and bumper to bumper and now whenever there was problem I was told its not covered. Secondly there are different prices of the same parts at different authorized showroom retailer. I was charged $380.54 plus taxes first time for one tire and $387 plus taxes second time for two tires. This means I was overcharged almost by double for the same thing. Its a complete fraud. Thirdly, how could a tire go wrong so soon (3 tire replacement within a period of 2 years) and doesnt include in warranty. Even when outside shops like Canadian Tires are offering 5 years warranty on same tires. Isnt a Rip Off. I am paying more price and No Warranty. I am really frustrated at service as well. First time they didnt even wash the car and when it was supposed to be included as per warranty. Further I was told that I came late when I went for service exactly as per information provided. I literally had to go into argument to get the service done as I reconfirmed about timing of service in advance. In my last service they even forgot to reset the service reminder which is irritating. Why so many loopholes and fraudulent response when assured the coverage at the time of buying the car..... This is just few of the problem I have written...... hope it be looked seriously.

Major issues with our 2015 XC60. Last year we started getting the low oil indicator light about every 500 miles. Took it to our dealership and they replaced our oil trap/PVC for $452. Continued to lose oil. Read online that oil leakage was a problem with this model/year. Kept adding oil as needed. While having a routine oil change at our trusted mechanics we explained about the oil consumption. They also checked the forums and replaced the oil filter again. On a trip 3 weeks ago (Dec. 26, 2018) the “reduced engine performance” light came on. We pulled over and had the car towed. The dealership said oil had leaked into a cylinder and damaged the engine. They could not guarantee that replacing the cylinder would be a fix, and that more likely the entire engine would need to be replaced for about $11,000. Volvo Customer Service politely offered us a coupon worth $60 to help. Really, really, really disappointed and will continue to complain in every available forum until Volvo contacts us. They can reach us at **.

I paid $43,100 cash for a 2000 Volvo from Mr. ** on July 6, 2012. It had minor wear and tear, which was expected. It had 126,000 miles. On Aug. 3, 2012, a message appeared to add coolant. I went to auto store, purchased coolant that was poured in the reservoir by sales associate with me under the hood. The message went off. I proceeded onto the interstate and the car began to smoke awfully. The check engine light popped on. It smoked even more and then shut off. My mom, my 1-year old son and I were in the middle of traffic. I called Mr. ** five times. When he answered, he said his phone is usually off then. I got it pushed on the side of the road and left it until I can get it towed to his mechanic on Sunday, which I paid $50. He never called. On Monday morning at 10 am, I called to confirm if his mechanic is looking at the car. He said he’d be to it later. At 4 pm, I called but no answer. I called Tuesday around 10:30 am. He answered and said, Oh, the head gasket is blown. You mustve driven that car hard. He said he couldn’t do anything but take it to the auction and sell it for $1,000 - $2,100 short of what I paid. As of Aug. 7, he hasnt answered the phone, returned calls or contacted me. Im a single mother with two small kids and I dont have $3,100 to throw away after having a car for a month or to get repairs. His neglect and nonchalant attitude makes me think he already knew the present issue and still sold a lemon bad vehicle. What are my rights or legal avenues? Also, the mileage now is a little over 129,000.

Used the overseas purchase program to buy my C70 in 2010. Local dealer is Gorges Volvo in Omaha, NE. Vehicle came with a 5 yr/60,000 complete maintenance/warranty agreement. Routine maintenance has been completed at my convenience and in very prompt fashion, with a loaner vehicle offered for any repairs taking over an hour or so. Vehicle has operated nearly flawlessly. The battery was drained by a Sirius radio programming problem; the battery was replaced and Sirius updated within an hour. The convertible hardtop was clamping down too hard, and had created a divot on the rear window well panel (dont know what the official name of the part is! ); Volvo adjusted the hardtop and replaced the panel. During a recent service appointment I mentioned that the passenger doors finger well for the interior door handle had worn excessively, despite infrequent use of the passenger side. They ordered the piece and replaced it within a few days. I feel the service has been impeccable, and they treat their customers with great respect. Unfortunately, this convertible has been discontinued as of 2015. I think it is a great vehicle, and my only recommendations would have been to add rain gutters above the doors (water leaks in when opening the door) and to make the seat belt more easily accessible (it is very difficult to fit my fingers into the space between the seat and door in order to grab the seat belt). Otherwise, the car has been comfortable, reliable, and quite versatile. Its a sporty convertible, with room for four, to which I also added a hitch assembly, using the vehicle for lightweight towing when needed. Sorry to see I wont be able to replace mine with a new model in several years.

I have a 2005 XC90 2.5 AWD since new. It now has 132000 miles. Best car Ive ever owned. I am planning to keep it forever. The car has been super reliable and still looks brand new without having to do much maintenance other than oil changes, brakes, and tires. Fantastic SUV.

I contacted Volvo because I found a crack in the rim of my 2008 S80. I had previously visited the dealership on several occasions because of air pressure issues as the light was coming on frequently. Volvo is not willing to take responsibility for what was most likely a faulty rim since the car has over 60k miles on it. I thought wheels should last the life of the car????? Then I have read multiple forums in which many people have been through this problem worse than I have.

I have a Volvo XC90 T6 AWD 2002. It sucks. Ive had nothing but problems with it since the day I bought it. Unfortunately, I can not afford to get rid of it. Im scared every time I drive it and pray that Ill get where Im going safely. Ive spent thousands of dollars on repairs at the dealer. Thank God I bought the extended warranty, not once but twice. I replaced the transmission at 75k miles. New tires are worn out at 25k miles. It goes through brakes like toilet paper. Ive replaced rotors, drums, motor mounts (twice). The dashboard/radio area gets incredibly hot (so hot to touch it almost burns your fingers). It heated up my cell phone so much in the little stash area that my phone quit working. Its a wonder it doesnt burst into flames. I have had so many problems with it I can not even count them all. I take it to the same dealer so he can print out a record of all of the repairs. Every time I go there, it cost me a fortune. One time it was nearly $5000 and that was with the warranty payments. I just spent another $1200 on it. Now, driving here in the rain, it started making this high-pitched shrill noise like you wouldnt believe. Its done that before so I think it must have something to do with the traction control. Anyone else had that shrill sound with traction control in rain or snow? I would like to have a class action lawsuit and at least get Volvo to give me what I owe on it so I can go get something else.

My 2004 Volvo S60 AWD has transmission problems. I had replaced the throttle body for $960.00. Now it needs valve body for $1200.00. Even though the throttle body was recalled through class action lawsuit, Volvo says my car wasnt part of the recall campaign. The mileage is currently 123,000. Recently, I replaced the motor mounts, serpentine belt, timing belt, and water pump.

My volvo has continued to have unexplained problems and Volvo will not stand behind their product. Radio just died, they are asking for $1085 to fix it. Why would anyone want to buy a lemon of a car like this? They are saying I have not serviced my car at their dealerships which is untrue. One dealer accidentially took off my axels for a transmission problem and kept my car for three days to put the old ones back on.

I recently drove a Volvo V90; it is quiet, easy to manage on a road or highway; enjoyable to drive. My only concern is that, since Volvo is now Chinese owned (again, Chinese owned), I am not certain they can be trusted to honor warranty issues. I brought this up with the manager and he laughed and said If youre talking about Covid-19 and its relationship to the quality of this car and whether a warranty on it will be honored, it is a moot issue. I am not convinced and really didnt even have the question addressed. As a result, I moved on and bought a good Japanese Acura RDX. It is an excellent, upscale, mid-sized SUV.

I love my 2008 Volvo. Beautiful ride and comfortable and quiet. Plan to keep it 3 more years and then hand it over to my son. Very reliable and no maintenance needed other than oil changes and tire rotation. My only problem is the radio. AM channels died about a year ago and to replace it would be about $500... FM is fine, but miss the talk radio. Very minor problem but would be nice if Volvo stood by their product since this seems to be an ongoing issue with other customers.

2016 XC 90 Fuel Gauge. My family members and I have ran out of gas 3 times and had to call AAA. I have owned Volvos exclusively since 1994. The fuel gauge is RIDICULOUS! It is just a tan line at the bottom of the screen behind the steering wheel that turns muted orange. No sound or voice warning. This car warns me if its thinks I am tired, but doesnt do a damn thing if I am about to run out of gas!

In the Details and Restrictions of the Volvo Carefree Coverage it states for low mileage vehicles (Service will be covered provided they are serviced within 2 months of their anniversary date). (In service anniversary.) My in service date was January 6th - when I tried to book the final service on January 28th, they would not provide the service claiming the program had expired even though I was well within the two month requirement outlined in their Details and Restriction as stated above. Their wording in misleading to consumers and they should clarify it to indicate that their policy does not apply to the final service and that service has to be provided prior to the in service date. Very poor customer relations.

Hicks Volvo, now Blaise Cheverolet Volvo in Chambersburg, PA, via Greg, their service manager, is trying to tell me that my timing bad went bad and my drive shaft went bad in 3,500 miles. In issues previously discussed on Volvo pages, this has been an ongoing problem and after diagnosis at another shop through a certified Volvo master mechanic, I was told that the car did not have those issues and they popped up between November 28, 2012 and February 20, 2013. The mechanic from a local shop showed me the wear and the problems with the belt and explained the drive shaft issue. I was appalled that when I brought the car to Greg and his shop, that even after asking to go over the car, they never said it was an issue.Now the shop in Chambersburg is telling me the mileage wore out the drive shaft and timing belt and they were okay when they last saw them, but that goes against every Volvo article Ive seen online and via posts here. If it were not for new ownership at Hicks, now Blaise Chevrolet, I fear that I would have been stuck with in a bad situation with either the belt or shaft falling apart while I was on the road. I just needed to bring this to your attention and ask if the belt could be an issue in 3,500 miles? As for the drive shaft issue, Greg told me that the vibration would be solved with newer expensive tires, but that the problem would still be there, but more minimal. Im very frustrated and would like have this on record related to my repairs at this garage. I hope the new owner holds Greg to higher standards than the previous owner.Update: Charlie **, Blaise GM of the shop, did in fact pay for a repair to my front end axle on the Volvo. But as it turns out, the refund of my first repair performed at another shop was a miscommunication on his part. So after traveling back and forth to the dealership and having service done to my car, the original issue of the bad drive line is still ongoing in my car. I appreciated the effort Charlie put forth, but I do feel that the drive line should have been squared away as well in that I clearly explained through my own research that the drive line was an issue and it was supported by another shop. All I can say is that I want to see Charlie step up to the plate and offer the service he said the dealership stands for and only time will tell if it takes place.

Had 2003 V70.. Great car, No problems. Bought 2014 XC60 and we still have temporary tags and this car has already been towed in twice, died (battery) second, overheated. Volvo of Triad in Winston-Salem, NC lied about everything! There were scratches on hood and they took touch-up and made a mess. They told us it was Local, it came from FLORIDA!!! They sold it to us past 30,000 miles and then we found out 30,000-mile service had never been done! And it was a certificated pre-owned. Now key fob does not recognize. Stay away.

I board 2015 model XC 60 SUV in 2014. I was getting smell of burning. I went to Volvo dealer 2 times. I explain to them what I experienced about burning smell. At my second dealer appointment about same problem, front desk person came out, opened hood, and checked under car then he told me that tar under the body of the car is burning which is not a problem. But his explanation didnt convince me at all. What happen after approx 1 month while I was driving (on highway 287 Henrietta TX) on July 23 around 10 pm, my XC 60 start burning. Volvo manufacturer needs to answer me and taking care of this defected car.

My first 2012 S60 T5 exhibited slipping transmission and abrupt downshifts at about 5500 miles. I spent countless hours with regional Volvo After Sales Reps and Volvo Techs. They finally tossed in the towel and agreed to replace the vehicle.New replacement vehicle, 1400 miles, transmission is not slipping. However, when in sports mode coming to a very slow rolling stop or pulling in to a parking spot will jump. The first time it happened I was like uh oh, better get the insurance card out, it felt like I hit someone. Im really curious for other drivers out there to test this and see if they get the same thing.The above in combination with having all four tires road force balanced discovered 3 out of 4 OEM tires with flat spots The dealer replaced the entire set of 4, and road force balanced them, I still have a vibration issue at about 66 to 78ish. Volvo Customer Care is comical and they state no further warranty action will be offered.

I buy new 2014 Volvo 780 truck and my fuel mileage is very bad. My truck giving me only 5.45 per mile and when I complain Volvo dealership did not care and that why I see dont buy Volvo new truck.

My transfer case cracked in half and had to be replaced for $2,600. My car is a 2005 XC 70 wagon with 84,000 miles on it. The transfer case should not crack in half. I was driving and could have been seriously injured because my car just suddenly stopped and would not go forward. Luckily, I had slowed down and was coming off a ramp from the highway. Seconds before, I was traveling at 65 miles per hr on the highway. I would like to be compensated for the cost of replacing the transfer case.
