The 2002 Volvo S60 AWD is just not very well designed or durable. I am the sole owner and purchased it new in 2002. It has about 78,000 miles and I maintain it religiously in accordance with the owners manual. After I get the next expensive problem fixed, Im trading it in for an American or Japanese model. I would avoid pricey European cars like the plague - nice to look at, but pure money pits. I could fill two pages here with all the oddball things that have gone wrong with this car. The dealer network is very spotty and the quality of their mechanics is even spottier. There are a few good ones, but more mediocre to bad ones. Their consumer complaint office has one objective - make you go away as there are so many calls they would go out of business handling your problem in a fair manner. Your only recourse is to never buy another Volvo.After spending $3,000 at a dealership to replace everything from the fuel pump to the timing belt, I was told that the occasional binding being experienced in my rear wheels was due to my entire AWD system being defective and needing a $5,000 replacement (for a car only worth about $7000!). I have taken it to a local mechanic who replaced the rear differential fluid and who now thinks the problem is with the left axle bearing not getting enough grease. He thinks the AWD system is fine, so I may get away with just a $1000 repair. I was hoping to get at least 100,000 miles out of the car, but I now believe it will require more huge maintenance expenditures - time to trade it in and cut my losses. The only way to fight back is to (1) fill out consumer reports info sheets on the car and tell the truth and (2) never buy another Volvo and tell everyone you know to never buy another Volvo.

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!

S80 2012 and Low Profile Tire Nightmare. TIRES. Gone through 9 tires... NINE... since 2012. Reason: Potholes and Low Profile Tires. Low Profile tires are for totally flat surfaces. Unaware of this and wasnt informed either. Shame on Volvo. It was my dream car. Now its my nightmare.

This is my second Volvo and this one is literally falling apart on me; I am talking lemon... The leather seats are all falling apart; they have actual holes from the sun, I am assuming, and the headliner is all falling down. From the day I bought it, I have had no air conditioner. In the state of Florida, I drive around in 101 degrees in the summer. I have always had so much good to say about Volvos and do stand behind them but the one I have as a single person, I am the only driver to and from work.The outside looks great; it is the inside and now the air bag sign is on and they are not working. Really???? I paid a lot of money for this car and I am so disillusioned to say the least. So for whatever it is worth, this is what I am dealing with. Somehow I am stuck with this vehicle that is falling apart on me and financially there is nothing I can do. Is there any call back on any of this for this vehicle? Anyone, somebody, anybody???

I bought a used car from this dealership in the beginning of October. The sales process went very smoothly since I paid market price for the car and there was little haggling involved. I was relieved that I finally found the car that I wanted. Things started to turn sour after two weeks of owning the car. First, when I was having the air filter changed on the car (it was really dirty so I dont know how the car passed their so-called 150-point inspection), I noticed the plug that is supposed to be plugged into the brake master cylinder was unplugged. I figured it just came loose, so I plugged it in. After I turned on the car, my dash lights came on like a Christmas tree; and the TCS light, brake light, and an exclamation mark light stayed on.I was starting to get worried because a car I just bought from a reputable dealer, I thought, had problems with the most important safety function of the car. Theyre brakes, for gods sake. How can they do this? I called the dealer and talked to the sales manager to get this checked out. He said, Let me see what I can do for you, and I will give you a call back. After a few days and a few messages I left for him, I received no call back. On top of that, the check engine light also came on. Out of fear for my safety, I brought the car to my trusted mechanic and found out the brake master cylinder needed to be replaced, along with two oxygen sensors. My mechanic mentioned to me if these were issues with the car, the car cannot pass smog and they cant sell me the car. This really worries me because I have not received my registration in the mail.Almost two months later, I received a notice from my lender saying the registration is pending due to missing smog certification. I started feeling like I have been scammed on this car. I immediately called the sales manager again. This time he picked up. He probably was also notified of the smog certification. I was told to bring my car in for the smog. I asked why he didnt return my call last time. He said his service advisor was supposed to call me to bring the car in. I told him the smog is more important to me at this point and I already had the repairs done. He then told me, Bring in the receipt for the repairs. I will take care of it for you. Great, I thought, this could make it a little bit better for me. I brought the car in to get smogged, and the car passed with flying colors. Because my dad has the receipt for the repairs, he said, Just give me a call when you have it.”I have been calling and calling, messages after messages, I still have not heard back from him. On a recent trip to southern California, I had a chance to use the AC due to the weather being cold in San Jose. You guessed it - the AC does not work. It blows out warm air. My parents and sister were sweating in the car as we were sitting in stop-and-go traffic. I found out this dealership is owned by AutoNation, a publicly traded company and one of the largest auto dealership group in the US. I went on their website looking for help. After chatting with a representative and giving her my information, I was told her manager will contact me within 24 hours. I was not contacted by anybody. I guess Im on my own. This has got to be the worst car buying experience for me. And I have bought four other cars within the past 5 years for my family and myself. Please avoid this dealership and do not let this happen to you.A dealership that is willing to unplug a plug going to your brakes and skip on a smog check for your vehicle is so unethical that words cannot describe. For this experience, I will never buy from any AutoNation dealerships again. I will also not buy any Volvo vehicles.

My cooling van has failed. It wont shut off and is causing my battery to drain all the way down. There was a recall for this problem; but according to the experts, my car, a 2002 Volvo S60, doesnt qualify. Ive read over a dozen blogs about this same problem on Volvos from years other than the 1999-2001 models recalled. It seems to me the problem goes beyond the models Volvo of North America is saying. How many failed cooling systems does it take to admit its a prevalent problem?

I am a Volvo person. I have been driving (only 240s and 940) Volvos for the last 24 years, including my immediate family. We have 9 Volvos in use. They were the best designed cars on the face of the planet. But, that ended in the year of 1995 when they stopped producing the 8 valve 4 cylinder 2.3 engines with rear wheel drive (the 240 models,stopped in 1993) models. Since the front wheel car were produced from 1994 until today, the great Volvo is no longer a Volvo. It is a perfectly designed disaster mechanically and electronically. How I know this? I am an expert in Volvo cars since in the 1980s and I know every model that is on the market today. To me, they are Volvos. I personally wouldnt think of driving one, period.

Four months after purchasing my 2019 XC90 (previous service loaner) from the Santa Ana, CA dealership a spontaneous crack appeared on my windshield starting from the top of the windshield and radiating downward from the middle where the rearview mirror/sensory console is housed. This crack occurred while parked in my driveway at home. I reviewed security cameras to confirm no foreign object had made contact with the car or windshield. I read about a similar experience online in Los Angeles with the crack originating in the same place and also without any indication of impact. I opened a claim with Volvo. They had me drive to the dealership to have a service advisor inspect it. Ironically, on the drive over for the inspection the windshield was struck by some kind of pebble or debris on the freeway. This was very obvious to me, I saw and heard the impact. As a result, my claim was denied, they claimed the crack originated as a result of the impact. I had allowed a couple of weeks go by before getting into the dealership and took pictures of the affected windshield as soon as I noticed the crack had appeared and at multiple other intervals to capture different periods of time and changes prior to going in. I had a dozen pictures, from different times, all prior to the day of the visit (and impact) as well as pictures from the day of the inspection and impact. In my communications with Volvo customer care team I asked for my pictures to be reviewed since they clearly corroborated my assertions. I explained, in great detail, what I observed that happened, provided similar cases I researched, offered more than enough evidence. Given the impact marks that are clearly visible in the pictures on the day of the inspection, and not present prior to, in addition to the location of the start of the crack and how it spread, its quite obvious that the impact point was not where the crack originated but I feel that Volvo was not interested in doing the work or putting in the time to make this right. They seemed more interested in maintaining the original decision, which was made without a complete review of all the information that I tried to present. I followed up by providing all of the pictures and explanation to substantiate my claim, requested a appeal with a detail account of the information I observed and was providing and a received a simple three sentence response saying sometimes customer dont agree with their decisions and there is nothing they can do about that. Youd think a company of this caliber would strive for better customer service, especially considering this is a $75k vehicle to a new customer. Needless to say I will never purchase from Volvo again.

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.

The 2020 XC60 & XC90 models have a design change which removed the door runner at the bottom. Bad design, as this is where most the road debris, mud and water enter. It doesn’t enter the inside of the car but its a mess after a heavy rain or car wash and Im left to clean and dry all the seal creases and door jams to prevent mold or rust. Would have reconsidered this car if I had known. Love everything else about the XC60 so hoping Volvo steps up and makes a rubber runner to replace the cheap seals.

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 **.

We have a doomed Volvo truck and we are helpless. So the only thing I can do is beg for help.We purchased a truck last year from TEC Portland with a brand new trailer. The truck price was $80,000.00 and the trailer was $70,000.00. We gave $15,000.00 as a down payment and we paid $13,000.00 for the registration and other regular fees for the business.On our first trip, we had an issue with coolant leak. This issue went on for a long time until we got a big service done that cost us not only a lot of money but also a lot of down time. After that, we added up all the down time on the truck and it was more than a month, just on the first six months after purchase.We signed up for a roadside assistance for trucks and we got expelled for excess use of services, its a shame! Every time we have an issue, we are not able to get it fixed fast, the dealers are always full of service (I wonder why) and they never got parts on stock—a mess.Now we are down again for almost ten days and this is my recent nightmare:I just want to share everything that is happening now so someone can at least feel the pain that we are going through again.August 6: The truck broke down so I called Volvo Action. The agent asked several questions and said that we needed a tow truck. Case #: 3256917. We got a tow truck but they said they couldnt tow the truck and trailer together because the back axle was compromised. We had to hire a tow truck for the truck and another tow truck for the trailer. TEC La Mirada was closed for renovation and TEC Fontana is almost 100 miles away from the site. August 8: The truck arrived at TEC Fontana. First, I was told it was only a wheel seal and I got a $2,479.65 invoice from TEC. August 9: I got a different invoice for $7,597.57 (including $1,750 tow bill that was originally $1,340).August 10: I authorized the repair and requested a credit account.August 11: I completed the form sent by Tracy at the Finance Department.August 12: I got an email from Tracy requesting the second page from the credit application signed. Then she realized that she just sent me the first page. I signed the second page and sent it to her.August 12: At 7 p.m. Florida Time, I got a call requesting $3,300 in advance for the subcontractor that will do the axle repair. I explained that I needed to wire the money, but we are in Florida so we couldnt do it.August 15: I made the payment they requested.And today, August 18, I was told that the subcontractor is not there yet!Its been almost ten days and not only I am paying almost $8,000 to have this great truck repaired, I am also paying $60 a day of storage for the trailer and $68 a day for hotel to the driver (who just gave me a deadline until Friday to get the truck fixed, otherwise he will quit).So my loss, so far, is almost $10,000, not mentioning that I paid the truck on the first and wasnt able to do a single trip this month. I would like to know if we are the only lucky ones that deal with those issues because, honestly, I am getting to my limit. And I dont think anyone wants to see me below my limit.Tom from TEC Fontana was very helpful in the beginning but now, every time I call is a different story, sad story, of course. And I dont know why they requested money in advance if nobody is there to do the job!This is a shame to Volvo. And what upsets me the most is that every time something like this happens, its like we are the only ones who go through this. While my driver is there, he spoke to three other owner operators who wish they never had this garbage called Volvo Truck.We share the office with four different companies—four different trucks—and this is the newest and the most expensive truck. And guess what? The 1996 Freightliner that cost $20K is still up and running. Excuse my language, but I cannot think of any other names than garbage. Actually, I can, but I am lady and I wont go that low.I know you are not the owner of Volvo, but if I have to hear my customers, my boss and my driver complaining, someone needs to hear me too. I am going online now and doing a complaint in every single website I know to let people know about this mess. I have no choice, since I have no money to hire an attorney, sue TEC or sue Volvo. And I know that Volvo is well prepared for this—they should be—because with so many issues and so much money down the drain, I guess someone on this story is making money. And I am sure its not me! I will look for help everywhere until someone can help us: newspaper, Facebook, blogs, Twitter, church, everywhere. I swear!I would like to congratulate Volvo for taking another honest person out of business because truck payments were always on time though we could never count on this truck. And it’s funny because we purchased the truck from TEC Portland, we are being fixed at TEC Fontana and the finance department cant approve us for a $4,000.00 net pay. Its ridiculous! We are never late for a single day with our payments but its not enough to get us approved. This has to be joke. I have the receipts for all the repairs done at Volvo dealers and all tow bills for this junk. Now I ask, is there anyone that can help me replace, return, burn this piece of garbage? Maybe someone reading this will have the decency to call us and try to help. I tried to talk to our salesman Duane a couple of months ago and he offered us a great deal of returning the truck plus more money down and increase of monthly payments for an older Freightliner! Isnt that great?!

I love my 2016 XC90 Volvo. We built it and in three months picked it up at the dealership. Maybe I am old school but I just dont understand all the hype on the key Fob. It stinks. Most women like me keep their keys in their purse. I placed my purse on the floor in the back seat of my vehicle and then strapped my two year old in his car seat; like I always do. It has been a routine I followed with all three of my children. After I closed the back door I opened my driver door only to find it locked. I went to the back door and that was locked. It was 90 degrees outside and my car was not shaded. My son was inside baking as I screamed and swore. I called my husband to come and give me his spare key.To make a long story short, somebody called the police and he was able to unlock my car quickly. My child was fine. There is no warning or sensor in the vehicle that detects the car key inside. I learned the car will ding if you leave your Fob in your coffee cup holder. No place else! If you drop them on the floor, in the back, anywhere you will get no warning. I still do not know how the doors all got locked. Nothing like technology trying to think for you and doing a lousy job. All these safety features end up hurting all of us in the long run. I learned that I had the child lock feature on in the car and that may have been the reason for the car doors locking.I still dont know and lost confidence in this Fob technology. I am very nervous every time I leave my car and rarely do I have pockets to put the Fob in. I will no longer put the Fob in my purse so I end up carrying it with me trying to unstrap my child from his car seat with one hand while holding this darn Fob in the other. Please Volvo, go back to the key in the ignition. Lighten up with the locking mechanisms making it safer; really. I am a prime example of why cars should not be locking unless you press a key from inside. That is how it use to be. All these sensors for safety nearly hurt my child.

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.

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.

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.

Do not buy a used Volvo. We made that mistake. Transmission = $$$, a running issue a long time. Found to be the Electronic Throttle Body = Piece of junk! Should have been a recall!!! They got out of it with an extended warranty for the Feds. So they fixed a few. As a used car, a Volvo has been proven to be a bad choice for us. Reliable? Not at all, in fact dangerous!! Very Dangerous when the throttle acts up. Very, Very Dangerous for Kids!! I asked Volvo to pay to reprogram new ETM. They declined! They do not care that we will never buy another. They made money on this one.

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.

We purchased a new 2012 Volvo S60 T6 AWD, special ordered from the factory. We have had all the required maintenance done at the dealership. There is one problem we keep having over and over again and I cannot find a solution or answer as to why it keeps happening. The front wheels keep going out of alignment, so I take the car in and am told that the right front rim is bent to the point that it needs to be replaced, as well as the tire. Okay, maybe I hit a really bad pothole. But this has now happened four (4) times--that is right, the right front rim has been replaced 3 times and the right rear rim has been replaced once. Each time we have purchased new tires as we are told, they have been seriously damaged. All this in 3 years, and less than 19,000 miles. Lets investigate: we have two cars in this household, driven only be the two of us, retired senior citizens. We have lived in the same house for 17 years. Drive the same routes. Drive carefully and cautiously. Why has this never happened before to any of the cars we have had, ever, at this location: two Toyota Avalons, one Lexus GS 350, one Porsche Boxter S, one BMW 530i, one Infinity G series, one VW Beetle? It just doesnt make any sense. Finally my service representative at the Volvo dealership admitted that this particular car was prone to this problem in the sense that it was particularly sensitive to this issue - that is, getting the right front rim bent so that replacement was the only option. We are so puzzled. We have decided to get rid of the car and of course will never buy another Volvo, which is unfortunate because this car drives beautifully - AWD, 6 cylinders, all the safety options such as Active Cruise Control, Blind Spot Information System, and so on.

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.

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 .

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.

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?

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.

I own a 2012 Volvo XC90. I purchased this new. I chose a Volvo because of their reputation. Turns out that they are riding on a reputation that is no longer is accurate. I drive quite a bit. Mostly long distance freeway. At 150k miles the car needs new catalytic converters. Volvo quoted 7k for the repair. Now the transmission is slipping. Blue book on this car is only about 7k. Better off taking it to the wrecking yard. Volvo customer service was no help. Car has been well taken care of. Still looks new but has absolutely no value. Ill never buy a Volvo again.

Tonight marks the 2nd time my Volvo has caught on fire jumping another car. The first time required the fire department, police department and 2 $500 deductibles. The firemen and policemen AND insurance agent who arrived all verified that the cables were connected properly and that it was not owner error. We assumed it was the jumper cables. Tonight, same scenario. My Volvo jumped another car and instantly started smoking and obliterated the jumper cables and melted the back of my car. This is not a coincidence nor is it user error. Has someone else ever experienced this with a Volvo? Is my car just defective? The first time the car was never started before it started smoking and blazing. Help???

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.

With only 10,000 miles on our 2015 xc60 T5 Volvo check engine light came on. Took it in. They say just a sensor. Had to order it, come back. Went back, wrong sensors. Said it was safe to drive. Had to order new sensor but had to get approval from Volvo. Said they were not allowed to just replace it. While driving problem got worse with smell of something burning and check coolant light coming on, called service dept. Was told drive it in or tow it in. Had it towed. Was told it could be weeks before knowing anything. Now driving a loaner. Reading other comments on this site the burning odor seems to be a common thread.

My transmission is bad and when I brought it in, the service people ignored my problem. They said that’s the way the car is. This is a brand new car and the transmission should work perfectly.

My Horrified experience with Volvo V40 and Volvo Doncaster Dealer: I bought 2013 Volvo V40 Demo on June 26th, 2014. After driving 5 times, the car broke down in the middle of road on July 10th. My daughter and I stayed in the dark and stranger street for two hours to wait RACV road assistance and tow truck. The car was towed away around 19:30pm and we got home around 8pm. On that night, I wrote Silverstone Volvo Doncarter and expressed my disappointment and angers. In the email, I said to Silverstone Volvo, I and my family lost confidence with this car, they really need to give us a rational answer and acceptable solution to bring our confidence back.Next day, it was Friday July 11th), I rang the Silverstone Volvo dealer to ask what was wrong with this car. The answer was that the petrol pump had a problem. The new petrol pump had been sent out from Sydney head office and should arrive on Monday (July 14th). I got the phone call on Monday 14th of July, Volvo Silverstone informed me that the car was ready to pick up. Since I worked on Monday and I picked up the repaired car on Tuesday (July 15th) and I was told that car was fixed and shouldnt have any problem.Next Day, it was Wednesday (July 16th, 2014) morning, my mother used this car to drive my daughter to school. After 2 minutes after they left, I got phone call from my daughter. The car broke down in the middle of road. I rushed to the place they stopped, and asked my mum use my car to drive my daughter to school (she was nearly late to school on that day). My mother (72 years old) said to me, I am not going to drive Volvo again. It scared me. I nearly had heart attack. My daughter had second horrified experience with Volvo in 5 days, she cried and said to me Mother, I had enough about this car. I dont want to be late for school again because of this car. I dont want to be left in the dark street because of this car, No more Volvo. I assured her that this thing is not going to happen again.After arranging my mother taking my daughter to school, I rang Silverstone Volvo. After Sales manager answered the phone, I told him that the car broke down again. He asked me to ring Volvo Road Assistance and tow the car directly to Volvo Silverstone to fix. On Thursday (July 17th, 2014) After sales manager rang me and left a message on my phone to ring him back. Because I was working until 10pm and I didnt ring him back. On Friday (July 18th, 2014) at 8am, I rang him back. He asked me what kind of petrol I have been filled in for this car, because they found some strange particles in the fuel. I said to him, Funny you said that, we had no chance to fill the petrol, as we only drove 5 times. The petrol in the car was from Volvo Siverstone. This explanation really pushed my anger out off my limit. Thanks god, we didnt fill the petrol. What happened if we have filled the petrol, was it our fault to make this car stop in the middle of the road?After Fridays morning conversation, I had not heard any thing from Volvo. On (July 21st ) evening, I wrote to Volvo Head Office to explained what happened, and I was going to put application through VCAT. On Tuesday (July 22nd) I received the email from Vanessa, Volvo Customer Care manager. She wrote in her email the fuel in the vehicle is contaminated and they were currently investigating. On July 25th, I received the email from Volvo Doncaster. I was told that Volvo expected to have the components required here for Monday 4th of August and vehicle ready the following day. On July 30th, I received the email from Volvo, I was told that this vehicle was due to FUEL contamination and in no way due to a product failure with this Volvo V40.After receiving this email, I was very angry. Up to this point, Volvo still denied that this car has any quality problem, even though the car was broken down twice in the middle of road in 5 days. Volvo also blamed the fuel was contaminated, though the fuel was from Volvo, not petrol station. From that day, I started my own investigation. Here are my findings:I rang VicRoad and I was told that this cars registration has been changed, but VicRoad wouldnt give me more information due to privacy law. I went to CarHistory Website to search and got the report that showed the Odometers of this car could be rollback. The reading on March 4th, 2014 was 5023km, but reading was 1146km on April 5th, 2014. On August 12th, 2014, I wrote to Volvo team and informed them that my finding has shown this cars odometer has been rollback. On same day, I got reply from Vanessa, care manager of Volvo, she wrote in her email we can confirm that in this case the report is showing incorrect odometer readings. The correct odometer readings are as follows: 2226 kms on 24/06/2014 and 2827 kms on 08/07/2014. I replied her email and attached the photocopy of contract of this car. The reading of odometers was record in the contract was 3050km. This contract was signed on June 25th, 2014.I also found the reading of Odometer was recorded as 2619km on Certificate of Roadworthiness from VicRoad on June 24th, 2014. My questions are: 1). Why did Volvo dealer change car registration number? 2). Why are there many different readings of Odometers on different documents that produced Volvo? On Friday, 22nd of August, VCAT arrange conference meetings between Volvo Silverstone and I. The purpose of this meeting was to settle between two parties. In the meeting, I asked for refund of this car. The reasons are: The car has serious quality problem. It broke down twice in the middle of road in 5 days. Volvo had opportunity to fix the car, but the problem was still there. Volvo Silverstone didnt acknowledge any faulty of this car, but blamed for fuel contamination, even though the fuel was from Volvo, not from me or other petrol station. This cars odometers was rollback based on the different document provided by CarHistory report, VicRoad and Volvo dealership.After speaking with solicitor from Consumer Fair of Victoria, I know that I have right to get refund of this car based on section 38 of Motor Trade Act 1986 and section 18, 29, 29, 259 and 260 of The Australian Consumer Law. In the meeting, Volvo Silverstone tried to settle a deal with me, they only wanted to extend 2 years of factory warranty on this car. I declined. I said to them, I was happy to compromise, but here are my conditions: 1). I wanted another new car, though I was asking for refund. 2). If you want me to take this car back, here are one condition, Volvo had to write a statement to say if this car breaks once again in next 12 months, Volvo will take this car back unconditionally and I got fully refund the price I paid for. Volvo Silverstone declined to do so.I also asked Volvo manufacture to write me a letter to explain to me about Fuel contamination issue, but Volvo Silverstone refused to do so. I asked Volvo Silverstone Dealer two questions: a). Why were there many different Odometer readings shown on different documents? Reading from CarHistory, Reading from VicRoad certificate and Readings from Volvo Contract and Volvo customer care manager? The answer from Volvo Silverstone was all these readings were wrong due to human errors, Volvo has not changed Odometer readings. b). Where did the contaminated fuel come from, because I havent filled the fuel? The fuel was from Volvo silverstone when the car was picked up. Volvo explained to me the fuel was filled by other test drivers when they had a test drive. It was the fault of Petrol Station.I told Volvo Doncaster Silverstone: You are lying to me and you make a lot of stories, I dont believe anything you said to me. This car is still in Volvo car dealer, I dont want take this car back. Volvo dealer inform me that they will start to charge fee. From tomorrow, I have to find a lawyer, which could cost me arms and legs. But I want to fight. If I have checked the history of car, I wouldnt have this mess. I paid nearly $45.000 for this car, but so far I only had nightmare. However, I have done nothing wrong, I trusted Volvo but Volvo Silverstone took advantage of me. As a consumer, I will fight to the end. I deserve a better treatment. I wouldnt let Volvo get away and continue to cheat other consumers.

I have owned two Volvo, XC 90 and C70. Both are 2008 models. I have put over 120,000 miles on the 90 without any problems and have over 90,000 on the C70 with no problems. I service them according to the manual and it has been a pleasure to own a Volvo. I have recently purchased a 2016 XC 60 and look forward to driving it for a long time also. I buy Volvo for the safety of the vehicle. I can always replace a car but I cannot replace my family. It might wear tires out sooner than other vehicles and I have to replace the brakes sooner than I do on other vehicles, but that is the price I will pay for safety.

We own a 1998 S70 and a 2006 S40 Volvo. So far, they have both been pretty reliable and been able to be maintained and repaired without many 4 digit repair bills. It does cost more to maintain these vehicles than the Japanese and American cars we have owned because parts are expensive and can take time to obtain. At some point, the S70 will likely need a new transmission. At that point, we will likely give or sell the vehicle to the mechanic who loves the car and get a new one of a different brand (likely Japanese or US). Our mechanic has indicated it is difficult to obtain parts for Volvos, especially the newer models. We have been looking for a substitute vehicle but not found anything we love yet. Many vehicles are paying more attention to safety as well, especially having rear view cameras, which can be useful as well.

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 **.

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.

I bought my son a used Volvo less than a year ago. Its been in the shop nearly every single month. After driving it only 4,000 miles it needed a new engine, new front bearings, new oil trap and on and on. Im at $5,000 in repairs and all they say is gee thats not normal for Volvo. I complained about the car to the sales person months ago with no response. I posted a complaint and the service manager called to offer $500 towards repairs but that doesnt explain how this many serious things can be wrong with a car driven such few miles. It was sold heavily on the fact that Orloff exclusively serviced the car and it was in top shape. Every month to service and every month a new serious problem. Im stuck with a junker and out $16k. Fraudulent sales practice.

I have a 2015 Platinum XC60 for which I paid a lot extra. It has the leather interior which I thought until just recently was awesome. Has anyone who has a similar car experienced that the leather fabric on the dashboard area below the front window is totally peeling up? I keep my car garaged 99% of the time when it is not being driven and for unknown reasons, the panel below the window is coming apart. The dealer has turned the matter over to Volvo and I am waiting to hear what they will do about it. The dealer said they have never seen this before. The car only has 12,000 miles on it and the upholstery is now shot? I dont get it.

I will never purchase another Volvo. I have a Volvo S60. I have spent a fortune on the maintenance of this auto. Things I had to repair now I am reading should have been under extended warranty, that cost me thousands to repair. I am the only driver, and the car has always been well maintained proper services. My driveway is on a hill. Today, I put my car in reverse with the brake on. The brake did not work. Car started across the road, almost smashed into the house across the street but for my quick thinking. Called the dealer, said pump the brakes before you start the car, and costs another $140.00 to fix. Volvo, your cars are an outrage, poorly made, not what one would expect for the price of the car..

I have a fairly new XC90 T8 and have continuously problems with the electronic and the software. Talking to the Dealer is useless since there is only one person at Schumacher who knows a little. All others know nothing. So is Wallace Volvo in Stuart. My Volvo has 10k miles on it and has spend quite a long time for software repair in service. Having a problem since the beginning is most accurate. I could not load the battery over 6 miles capacity, The alarm for the Engine comes on now and then and shortly after that it says, You have problems with the 12 volt system. The Virtual display shuts on and off during driving etc. Its an ongoing battle and I want to return the car and get a new one. What do I need to do and whom I should contact.

My 2004 (2005 Body) has gone through a company buy back 3 times. How does this happen? (1st issue) The previous owner sold it because of it downshifting into 2nd gear. I have taken it to the Volvo dealers multiple times and they want to charge 150.00 just to check error messages (I have my own device - there are no messages). I have found through internet checking that this issue is VERY common with Volvos. I LOVE my Volvo (this is my 3rd) but if there is an issue with their transmissions and they are not willing to at least check them without charging I dont want any part of that company. I was told about how OUTSTANDING Volvos customer satisfaction is but since this car I have found a WHOLE LOT of unhappy customers. I want to keep owning Volvo cars but not if they dont stand behind their cars EVEN AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES!!!!!

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.

I purchased a 2001 C70 Volvo with 110,000 miles three months ago. The car ran like a dream. I checked the Carfax. It has perfect maintenance records. Two weeks later, the transmission between 2nd and 3rd started kicking. I took it to a Volvo dealership and couldnt find the problem, because its so sporadic and nothing showed up on the computer.

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.

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!

After some communication with the company, I got a full reimbursement of the price difference.I guess each case is different. I do suggest to communicate with the customer service department as much as you can; most of the time, the issue can still be resolved. If you are so unlucky and encounter a similar situation that I had, be patient and hold your ground. After all, a big company still cares about their reputation while trying to save cost. Although the process was tough and long, I am glad the result turned out to be reasonable. I hope the same unfortunate accident would not happen to you, but if it does, stay calm and go through customer service to fight for your rights seem to be a good way.

Volvo XC90 - Do not buy this car. I bought one brand new from the Ontario dealer. I have had one problem after another. Most were minor, but annoying since my closest dealer is 1 1/2 hours away and they dont offer authorized repair anywhere but at a Volvo dealership. Now at just 60,000 miles, the transmission and drive shaft have to be replaced to the tune of $5000+. If the dealer does the repairs, it is $8000 and Volvo wont help one bit. Talking to my local mechanic and reading the blogs, the Volvo SUV have had a lot of major mechanical problems. Do your research, do not buy a Volvo SUV. You will be sorry.

I bought a V70XC Beautiful car/showroom condition. That was it. It has been nothing short of a money pit, a nightmare I wake up to everyday and a constant enemy. I have replaced the transmission 2 times and 1 engine in less than 40K miles. A myriad of sensors failed that NO ONE can diagnose. The dealership is 70 miles away and NO ONE will work on them. ALL mechanics run when I pull up. Immediately telling me they dont work on them. It has literally spent more time on the back of a tow truck than on the road. If I didnt have my ANGELS I know this car would have already killed me. It has failed to accelerate in the WORST possible times, intersections, pulling into traffic etc.Theres just no words to express my anger toward VOLVO and SWEDEN without corrupting my soul. I once owned the YUGO in the 1980s and I have often wished I had it back compared to this total Mechanical and Engineering Mistake of the Century. My problems are typical I discovered. I didnt get just a lemon, apparently that is all they made. If you buy one after reading these reviews then you deserve it. I bought another car yesterday and its NOT a Volvo and I will never look at them the same. I pity anyone I see in one. But thats not often. I dont see them on the road often.Thank God I am free of that BEAST of burden. Now I actually look forward to driving since I got another car. I dreaded even having to drive it to the store. Owning it probably took 10 years off my life too. Good Riddance Volvo. I hope you bankrupt. Shame on the Swedens for making such a horrible, horrible piece of junk. OH, did I mention the fact I only put 50,000 miles on it? AND about 50,000 dollars in it.

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.

My husband and I purchased a 2001 S40 Turbo with 113,000 miles. It’s a very well kept car with no signs of oxidation on the exterior paint and the inside was well preserved. We knew it was an older vehicle, so we checked out its history with CARFAX. We were pleasantly surprised with the history being nothing but just the basic maintenance. We had test drove it and also tested its acceleration on the freeway before purchasing. All was great until 4 days later. I was at a drive thru with the vehicle in park mode when all of a sudden the car started to accelerate to 1500 to 2000 rpm! It totally made me uncomfortable to drive it back to my home, which was about 6 miles away. On the way home I was coming to a traffic light and the car accelerated on its own again, so I stepped on the brakes and it was still accelerating almost making me hit the car in front of me! I made it back home and told my husband the problem that occurred. I was scared to drive it after that. My husband and I took it out for a test drive and the vehicle accelerated on its own again. We took it to 2 authorized Volvo repair businesses. The first one said the throttle needs to be cleaned for $145.00. The second repair man said he would have to change the ETM for $600.00 and for us to only use one repair shop to do all the maintenance and repairs—dont go to more than one shop. My husband is the only one working right now for our family of 5, so he has been working overtime to get the $600.00 for repairs. One night, on the way to get some dinner (1 week of owning the vehicle), the car started to accelerate in park mode again, but this time it was staying accelerated at 2,000 rpm and would not go back down. All of a sudden, the radiator exploded with no signs of overheating! We had it towed home about 4.5 miles back home. The tow truck driver said since hes been in the towing business, this was his first time to tow a Volvo just for a mechanical problem. He only picks up Volvos that have been in accidents. Gee, only accidents? That’s weird. We now have had this vehicle for 2 weeks and it’s sitting in our drive way. We used all of our tax return refund on this very clean and pretty car. I thought when we purchased a Volvo we would be safe because of the reputation they have in safety and luxury. How sad for Volvo. There is now way I can sell it. We just have to take a loss and junk it. I would not want anybody to drive this vehicle—it’s dangerous. My husband and I are sharing a 94 Toyota pick-up with 250,000 miles with no air conditioning or power steering. And it takes a licking and still keeps on ticking with no problems at all! We will never recommend to anyone to purchase a Volvo.

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.

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.

2004 V70 2.5L turbo, AWD - This car had come into our lives in 04/2014. It had 131,000 miles on it. In that year and 5 months. We have put on 27,000 miles. We so far have put new front brakes on it (rotors, calipers, pads). Rear rotors got turned. A new central computer module. 2 new headlights. A new passengers side mirror (just the glass is $123.00... HOLY CRAP!!!) Had to have 2 new keys cut and reprogrammed. One of them 2x (had to pay 2x too, cause the first time didnt work). Drivers side window needed new clips. Battery died out of the blue. The battery was fine. I even trickle charged it and it only took 6 hours to come to a full charge. I checked it with my multimeter to make sure it was charged cause I couldnt believe it only took 6 hours. Yup! Dead! Central Computer Module ate it up when that died. The computer module for the security system is dying now as well. $475.00 to get that fixed. Now the riders side door lock wont work. And check engine light came on and the car is acting like it has water in the gas. No power and I cant get it over 2k rpm. UGH! I realize I bought an older car. I realize that it has a few miles on it. But I expected a better built vehicle. The V70 had some great reviews when I researched it before buying it. It just seems like every 3 weeks to a month, another thing. On top of all these repairs is all the regular maintenance. Timing belt, wipers, oil, cabin filter, air filter, fuel filter, etc... We really do take care of the car. We really love the way it drives. The AWD is the best we have used yet. And the 5 cyl. turbo is plenty of power and with pretty good MPG. However, we will not be getting another and we will be dumping this economic problem A.S.A.P.! Oh yea, did I forget to tell you, our door dented one day when I was closing it and my hand pushed in the door panel. It wasnt even a hard close.

Today, I found out that my 2003 XC70 with 69,000 miles and in perfect condition needs a new transmission for $6000! We also own a 2004 S60 AWD with 40,000 miles. I wonder if Ill need to spend another $6000 for that car. The dealer contacted Volvo who said, So, sorry. That awful transmission we put in that car is now yours. Congratulations!The repair manager actually had the gall to recommend we trade it in for a new one, so we could get the $1K customer loyalty discount! LOL! I will sell both of these cars as quickly as I can, and I will tell as many thousands of people what a piece of crap Volvo is. Never will I even look at a Volvo.

Volvo XC90 customer service failure: I had clicking sound in rear axle (97k miles). I took it to the dealer who said it was either an angle gear sleeve or angle gear assembly failure. They said if I paid them $2100 in labor first, they would try to get corporate to cover parts (clearly they know it is a problem). But they could not guarantee corporate would pay for parts. So, I was facing a $5000 bill ($2100 in labor and $2900 in parts) to fix a poorly designed part (check the web, there are many failures of angle gear). Dealer said they have had to replace a number of these. I wonder how many.No thanks! I called a local repair shop who quoted $469 (parts and labor) to replace angle gear sleeve. I called back again just to make sure of the price. The local shop said they replace them all the time. They showed me the problem. It is a poor design that allows water to get into angle gear sleeve causing rust and premature wear (or planned obsolescence).It turns out both the angle gear sleeve and angle gear assembly were worn out. Local shop bought parts from dealer at cost of $2400 ($500 less than dealer quoted). Total repair cost was $2850 compared to dealer quote of 2100 and maybe corporate would cover parts. You can see from the picture rust on splines of angle gear sleeve. By the way, the dealer has a core charge for the angle gear assembly so that all their faulty parts get returned. I went back to dealer and tried to see if they could get Volvo Cars corporate to cover parts. They said no. I then called Volvo Cars Corporate directly for help. I got the same. They said the part is not part of recall and that they could not (really would not) do anything.How many failures are needed before a recall? If you check the web, there are hundreds. This means there are really thousands, since only a few people are angry enough, like me, to post their frustration. Both the Volvo dealer and Volvo corporate had an opportunity to do the right thing. What a shame they didnt. Now, not only will I never go to dealer for service, I will forever tell people not to buy a Volvo!

I took my car to the Volvo service department on January 2, 2012 because the Transmission Service Urgent message just came on. I have a 2003 Volvo S80 T6. The service department told me there are internal fault errors in the transmission and I have three options. I could either buy a new one for $5,000, buy a used one for $3,000 - $4,000 or get it overhauled for approximately $3,000. I was really upset to hear this news. I told them, There is absolutely no reason why I should need a new transmission with 139,000 miles on my car, (the car actually was close to having 140,000 miles) but it still should not need this type of repair, in my opinion. I filed a complaint with Volvo Customer Relations department at headquarters. This is what my complaint said to Volvo Customer Relations: I have a complaint about the transmission in my car. The Transmission Service Urgent message just came on. The service department told me there are internal fault errors in the transmission and I could either buy a new one, buy a used oneor get it overhauled. The repair cost will be $3,000. This is ridiculous. There is absolute no way I should need a transmission at 139,000. This is one of many repairs I have had. The other crazy repair was the dashboard electrical system went completely out. I could not tell how fast I was driving, etc. That repair cost was $1,700. The transmission problem was the last straw. I want something done by Volvo. I am really an unhappy customer. This was my first Volvo and my last Volvo.These are the responses I received from Volvo Customer Relation at the corporate office:Response #1 from Volvo: Thank you for contacting Volvo Cars of North America. When you contacted our offices, a file was opened for review on your behalf to seek financial assistance for transmission repairs. Your request has been reviewed by a Volvo Regional Manager and we regret that we are not in a position to honor your request due to the vehicle being outside of the terms of your warranty. Thank you for the opportunity to respond.Response #2 from Volvo: We have taken your concerns seriously and have had it reviewed by our Volvo Regional Representative. He has made the determination that this is not a warranty issue. While we regret that you may disagree with our decision; we respect your choice to pursue this matter as you see fit. Volvo Cars of North America appreciates the opportunity to respond to your concerns but is unable to review this matter any further.My final thoughts--I will never buy another Volvo car.

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.

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.

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.

I bought a 2008 Volvo S60T, and its the worst car Ive ever owned! It has broken down on me more times than I can count. I have coddled and cared for this car more than any other. Ive had the timing belt changed, and only put premium, ethanol free gas in it. I have the oil changed every 3000 miles and buy Napa gold oil filters and synthetic oil - which I bring to my mechanic. I do all recommended tune-ups and check ups. Now I find out that the turbo is bad! My mechanic told me to get rid of it ASAP. The repairs it needs - a new turbo and catalytic converter - will cost more than the car is worth. Im so angry! I used all my savings to buy this car. It is undriveable and sits in my frontyard. All its worth now is scrap! Really? A 2008 Volvo?!? I tried communicating with Volvo. The first time on Facebook - to which they referred me to their customer service email. I emailed them and just today received the Were so sorry but cant help you reply. This company does NOT make quality reliable vehicles, and they do NOT stand behind them! A lot of hype and a huge COST for nothing but headaches, inconvenience, and financial loss. I am screaming from every rooftop I can find to warn people! DONT BUY A 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.

Best customer service and best safety record. NIELLO Volvo is the best dealer in the area. They have quality cars-new and used-and take excellent care of their customers. I have been a Volvo owner for 14 years and am on my 4th car. I LOVE Volvo!!!

This has been the bane of my existence for numerous months now (5 months to be exact)... My 2007 S40 Volvo with 60K miles will not pass the smog check. Ive been back to my smog guy 6 times, had my car towed for too many parking tickets due to no registration. Paid over $1600 in fees, called Volvo numerous times, the Volvo dealership nearest me, my Volvo mechanic... etc. and Ive driven over 1200 miles. Apparently because I changed my battery a few weeks before the smog check, I have to just keep driving my car (illegally I might add). Well... I have driven and driven and driven and still not passing. No help from Volvo.

My husband purchase our Volvo XC90 2005 on 2005. The dealer assured my husband that our children and I were safe traveling on this car while he was deployed in Iraq (15 months). Even convinced my husband to buy a $2000 extended guarantee that the Volvo dealers NOT honor. Since I got the car I started receiving the information about this recalls, one month after I have it started the squealing noises, but the dealer was unable to hear it. On 2010 the warning light for the Alarm system came out. I called the dealer and explained about the issue. Because the car was close to the 60.000 miles maintenance service I was told to wait. They did the 60.000 ml service (oil change and washed the car) but the alarm warning light was no checked, neither fixed. From about the $250 plus taxes that supposed to be charged they present us a beautiful bill of $799.98 (they asked first how we are paying - my husband said cash). We’re driving home then we notice of the Alarm system warning light. I called the dealer. They told me that the problem was fixed. Early the next morning I had to take my husband to Dallas Airport for another deployment. I called back the Volvo dealer the following days. I asked how much this would cost me to fix the warning light. They always said they dont know. I been so afraid to take my car to the Volvo dealer, because I know that they do not honor the Volvo promises. I think the Volvo XC90 is a gorgeous car and has many safety features. But the Volvo dealers are greedy and incompetents. Because that so many people walk away from buy it, and those who owned it, sell it just to NOT deal with the dealers.

I bought my Volvo in 2012 and it was brand new at the time. I have had minor, manageable issues with Volvo ever since (replacing fuses, replacing a rear shock, etc...). However, while bringing it in for my last service, I completely ran out of oil on a secluded road with very little cell service (I was so lucky I could call for help). My oil pressure light came on and I pulled over immediately. When I checked the oil, there was not even a drop. I called Volvo and they said to continue driving until my car could go no further, seriously?! I called my father-in-law and he brought 4 quarts, which we added, and it barely registered on the dipstick.Volvo currently has my car, is replacing the piston rings, since that is what caused the engine to burn oil. They gave me a loaner car for a week. They admit that this is Volvos fault and are replacing the rings at no charge to me. However, after I started doing extensive research into this issue, I stumbled across a recall on my car. Volvo recalled certain 2011-2012 vehicles that were not alerting the driver of a low oil pressure situation. After calling and talking to the General Manager at Smothers European in Santa Rosa, I was told that they have made at least 10-12 of these piston ring repairs, and replacing the rings is what Volvo has advised them to do. I dont think that is acceptable. Any kind of engine problem, especially running on no oil, really damages the entire engine. I would be happier if they replaced the whole engine, but not satisfied.For something that is a design flaw with Volvo, customers are being forced to accept a flawed product, which will greatly reduce the cars resale value. This is unacceptable and Volvo needs to compensate customers appropriately to stand by the companys claim that their core values are quality, safety, and environmental care and that they are working with energy, passion, and respect for the individual.

Bought a new Volvo S60 2012 from Carlsen Volvo in Palo Alto. The paint started to peel with less than 13K miles. They stated that it is caused by sprinkler water and therefore not under warranty. The car must be completely repainted since the paint is peeling on the entire surface. It cost me $8609.66 to repaint.

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 bought out my lease a little over a year ago, since then I have a new iPod, Samsung Note 3 mobile phone, neither work because of some Bluetooth issue. Volvo blames on cell phone companies for updating our operating systems on these devices, instead of updating the firmware so those of us who paid a lot of money for this make of vehicle arent hassled with our technology lost to operating in this lack of caring about consumers in the states. Europe has none of these issues and updating navigation is free to them also, but it will cost Americans 300$ to update North American map, so now my navigation drives me way off the beaten path. Latest trouble is fuel being lost as if there is a leak, which there is not, and my lock on passenger door fell through when I went to lock it. I called Volvo, they said bring it to the dealer... Never letting on, they had many many complaints by others on the technology no longer compatible or the fuel mileage suddenly becoming a major problem especially considering the cost of petrol. I will take it in to my dealer but Ive already spoken to Verizon and know the issue with my phone and iPod are on Volvos end. So there will be no joy until Volvo treats American Buyers like European ones.

I just bought a 3-year old Volvo V50 less than 2 months ago. Last week, it lost power to the point of almost breaking down. When I took it to be looked at, it turns out that the particle filter was in a terrible state. The shocking thing was this was bought from a Volvo dealer (Nurnberg) and they must have sold it knowing the particle filter was about to go (either that or they didnt bother checking it). We had paid much more than a private deal in order to feel reassured that it was thoroughly checked by the dealer. The particle filter was apparently not covered by the warranty. Who would have guess that Volvo are a bunch of cowboys? VERY unsatisfied customer. I will never buy another Volvo.

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.

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.

2015.5 V60 21,305 miles. Took to Volvo Mission Viejo CA. Want to replace ICM for $1,302.26. No explanation re: why all failed and what inherent issue(s) is/are with the car that caused failure. Low miles, not old car. No guarantee that problems will be resolved for $1,302.26 so I can feel comfortable driving it. Given Volvos fairly bad reputation re; electronics and computer/software this is of great concern.

I was driving my 2007 XC90 SUV, merging onto a busy Philadelphia Interstate (I-76) with trucks going well over 70 mph. When I pushed on the gas pedal, the car lunged, then died immediately. I was almost creamed and still cant believe I was not. This was the 4th time this had happened, but not on a busy Highway like this. I had it in the shop at the dealership and they could not find anything. I picked it up and the very next day, it did it again. I took it back to the Volvo dealership and the Service Manager drove it for 3 weeks before finally discovering it was a key issue and only because his knee hit the key, which no longer popped out of the key housing, so therefore the black part of the key would hang down from the key starter and if your knee hits the key, the ignition will shut off.I have told this story to many Volvo owners and everyone that has a key like that has experimented with it and YES their car also died when touched by the knee. VOLVO has not issued any warnings of this, so everyone that has an older Volvo with the old type key, beware, it could happen to you and you may not live to tell about it. There are web sites you can get that you can get a key made for $20, but I paid $180 and the key fell apart the next day. GOOD JOB, VOLVO.

They covered the majority of the repair. I am satisfied.

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.

Has anyone else experienced premature brake wear on their Volvo (we have 2018 XC90). We were advised at 30,000 gentle driven kms that we need new rotors and pads. When we questioned the dealership on this they told us that Volvo brakes arent meant to last like the other manufacturers. They claim its for safety reasons, we dont agree, nor do the multiple mechanics (some Volvo mechanics) we have talked to since. Would love to hear if anyone else is experiencing this as well as it is a concern.

We decided to give Volvo a shot in addition to the Porsche and Mercedes SUVs we were considering. The sales team was so horrible and disorganized that were not even considering Volvo at all anymore. Typical used car lot type of dealership; if youre looking for a luxury experience, stick to the other brands.

We got the 2016 xc90 last September, got issues with the auto brake and sensors. But the biggest one happened last month that the car locked itself with all my belongings inside, phone, car key, money except my toddler!!! We parked outside for over an hour, turned the engine on, closed the door and walked toward the other side of the door to put my toddler in his car seat then found all door locked!! We were lucky that we found a phone to call my husband to bring his spare key to us and his key didnt work at the beginning either. While we trying to figure out how to open the door manually, it magically unlock itself.Volvo did a software upgrade and said it will never happen again!! As to our surprise, it did again!! Less than two weeks we got the car back!! Very lucky again that my toddler was with me!! Totally lost our faith to this car!! We bought it coz of their safety and reliability but this car just a total disappointment. After reading all the reviews here, how could Volvo ignore all these issues and still have this car on the market???

I purchased a Volvo XC60 in January 2010 and it has been the car from hell. Not soon after purchasing the car it was blowing fuses. I took it to the Volvo dealer in San Antonio and they fixed it. Not soon after that, we had to bring it back because the cigarette lighter in the back seat didnt work. We dont smoke but we use it to charge our cell phones. That was fixed also. When we purchased the vehicle, we had the dual DVD players put in because we do a lot of travel. They stopped working and we had to take it back in to get that issue resolved. All along I am telling the service center that there is something electrically wrong with the car. They continue to deny it is. In August of 2012, we are bringing our daughter to college and the battery dies and leave us stranded. I take it back to the Volvo dealer and was told that I have to pay $300.00 so that they could put a battery in the car to diagnose it. Wow! How far have customer service sunken over the years? I spoke to the service manager and after many conversations and my holding steadfast, he decided they were going to resolve the issue with no cost to me. But the person at the service center wasnt informed and when I showed up to pick up my car, he handed me a bill for $2,300.00. The bad battery cause the sensors for the air bags to go bad and they had to be replaced. I immediately asked to speak to the service manager and he informed me that it would be no cost to me. His word held true.December 30, 2013, 16 months after being stranded the first time due to a bad battery, I was stranded again while traveling. The battery died and I received a message on the console that said Reduced Performance. The car was barely capable of driving 5 miles per hour. I called the service center in San Antonio and was told to bring it in. The car is not drivable, the battery is dead again and he says to drive it in. While I am on the phone with him, the reduced performance light goes off and a service engine light comes on. When the service engine light came on, the car became drivable; therefore, I drove back to San Antonio. When I attempted to drive the car to the Volvo dealer the next morning, the battery was dead, Service Engine and the Reduced Performance lights were on. I have read several customer complaints that point to electrical problems and I know for a fact that this car has electrical problems.I called the Volvo Company of North America and spoke to them about the horrible customer service and support I received in San Antonio and asked if I could have the car towed to Austin which is not that much further from me and I was told to call the service manager in Austin and talk to him. I spoke to the service manager in Austin and he told me that I need to make sure that if I get it towed to Austin to confirm that there are not any additional charges that I may be billed for having it towed to Austin. I called the Volvo towing service and she stated that she would call Volvo to get approval and she immediately called me back and said that no one answered because they were closed for the holidays.I was going to trade my XC60 in for a XC90 but after my experience with Volvo and seeing all of the mistreatment of other Volvo customers, I have decided to go back to Honda and/or Toyota. We own a 2003 Honda CRV and it has never given us trouble. I agree with one of the other complainants, there needs to be a class action lawsuit against Volvo. It is a shame that we spend thousands of dollars as consumers and dont get the needed oversight to protect us as consumers. I am going to continue to bring this up until someone decide to listen and do something about all of the terrible service and rip offs happening to me as a consumer.

I bought a pre-owned 3-year-old xc60 w/ mileage 60k km. The original battery dated 41-12, presumably week 41 year 2012 made in germany.. It died w/ voltage 6. The volvo on call suggested I replaced the battery. I agreed to it. But I wondered if the decision was a bad one! Could I have just jumped start the battery and the car will be back to normal? Was I misled by the mechanics? Appreciate some advise, views?

Im a Volvo enthusiast. Not just an owner. Weve had 4 Volvo cars in 6 years, and I got my dream car when my husband agreed we could trade my 2015.5 S80 in for the new body style of the S90. I want to love my car, I do! I actually DO love my car, but I dont love the issues weve had. We bought a 2017 S90 Inscription, with all the possible features the car can have. Seriously, theres not an available option this car doesnt have.My car has been at Volvo of Fredericksburg 15 times, in less than 2 years. Thats shameful. Not just for minor issues, either. Some of them are minor, but most of them are not. One issue contributed to a minor accident. First the leather dashboard bubbled up. Okay, it gets hot here and my S90 was one of the very first ones sent to the US, it sat on the lot for a while. Its an expensive sedan in a world that wants crossovers or SUVs. So it was there for many months I guess, before we bought it. They were happy to take the car and replace the dashboard. There were 3 or 4 minor issues that first trip to be repaired. I was given a nice loaner while it was being fixed. No problem! Love Volvo! Okay, a couple weeks later Im driving with my kids in the car, and the entire infotainment system shuts off while Im driving. Just makes a loud noise and then goes black. In about 30 seconds it reset and came back on. But that freaked me out! The thing just failed! And by this time, just a couple months into ownership, there were also several areas on the touchscreen that had either de-laminated or were dead pixels. So they took the car again, for longer this time, and told me they had completely replaced the infotainment hub and fixed the screen. I got the car back, it looked better and seemed fine.That was the start of the last two years of hell. I cant get in my car and just drive. Its sad. I get in my car and I have a special spot I put my phone where its easy to access because odds are good Im going to need to record whatever issue is happening next. You can Google or go to Youtube and see my videos of the infotainment system failing - its happened twice more since then, once while I was doing 70 mph through the Wasatch mountains of Utah, the whole system just going black while driving including the digital gauges as well as the touchscreen area. All of it. Just shut down while Im doing freeway speed in a dangerous area. I got that time on video too (well, the tail end of it as it starts resetting itself).Ive had warped brake rotors replaced. Ive had issues over and over with the BLIS system, issues with the infotainment system thinking Im on a call through my cell phone when I get in and turn the car on - I have to unpair the phone and completely reset the system to get it to STOP. I turn the car on and the audio doesnt work, as it shows there is an active phone call... to ME! Its an outgoing call from my phone to my phone that the car initiates somehow. Its been months and that issue still isnt fixed.There have been physical issues, there have been software issues. Every time I take my car in, they do software updates and tell me its fixed for sure this time. Sure it is. Not like Ive heard that before. This last time, they finally sent a field rep from Volvo to talk to us about the ongoing issues. The rep floated the idea of putting us in a different car. I objected LOUDLY at first. I am very attached to my car, even with the issues. I love my car! I love the way the sound system is, I love the way it handles, I love my car. Its beautiful. We even gave it a name! So I wasnt interested at that moment in even considering a trade, I just wanted it fixed. So we left it once again to have the infotainment hub changed out, and that night my husband and I talked about reality and the issues with the car. I decided it would be better to trade in the car having SO many issues and I could learn to love another one. We called and then emailed to tell them we would prefer to go that route, and apparently they offered my husband $2,000 toward putting us in a different car. Seriously? Thats like an insult! They helped us find a bank that would do the loan with a lot of negative equity because my 2015.5 Volvo was so new at the time. Now that theres an issue with the car, they cant seem to work very hard to fix it. And the last time the infotainment system shut down, just a couple weeks ago, I was alone in the car and couldnt pull my phone out to make a video. It was raining and I had traffic all around me, in the dark, on a road under construction so Jersey barriers narrowing the lanes. Because I have no video of the system shut down this time, they tried to say it didnt happen. I have video of the same day of the other issues happening, like the BLIS not working or working only at times, and they acknowledged that. Of course they pushed a software update and the issue is fixed for sure this time.Sigh. I guess at this point we have to get a lawyer. I didnt want to do that. I have wanted nothing more than to love my S90 the way its designed to be loved. I want to get in it and just drive, with the sunroof open and the music up loud with no worries. I cant do that, because I know at least 50% of the time, *something* isnt going to work. Fortunately, when the infotainment system and electronic items suddenly fail and it goes dark, I dont lose my brakes. I guess the engine doesnt shut off, so technically Im safe when it happens. Right? Would you feel safe with your cars entire system in the cabin shutting down while you are on the freeway in traffic? No? Me either. Its so sad, and Ive been so hesitant to throw this out on social media or go to the news media, as I think Volvo truly tries to be safe. I think Volvo has a mission that is worth something. I agree they typically provide cars that are worth the money. However in THIS case, theres a serious issue with the car that hasnt been fixed. Its at the point where clearly there will be issues long after the car is no longer under warranty. How can I keep this car, knowing that in another few months Im going to be paying out of pocket to fix all these issues? This isnt right, in any way. All they need to do is take this car back and make a *reasonable* accommodation to put us in a different car. I dont want an XC60 (what they usually put us in for a loaner as they dont even have any S90s on their lot, wonder why?). I want an S90, but one that doesnt require being in the shop for days at a time every few weeks. Ive not had a single month where nothing went wrong with my car. Not once. I encourage you all to do your homework before plunking down the money to buy a Volvo these days. We will be switching to another car manufacturer as soon as we can. Audi or Jaguar.

Last Tuesday, May 15, 2012, I took my 2002 S80 T6 Volvo to the Volvo service center on a recall for the fuel pump (throttle body). After driving a few days later, I went to start my car and it wouldnt start. So I made an attempt to start it again and it started and then it shut off. After going through this several times, it finally started. Now, it has gotten worse. I have all these warning lights on and my car is running sluggish. I try to accelerate on the highway and it feels like it wants to stall.Today, I called the 800 customer service number to report it. I also called the dealership and reported it. I was told that I would have to pay for this to be repaired. I read several articles regarding this problem and feel that my car meets the need to be repaired. It’s a real safety issue. I have two kids that I transport daily to school and other school activities, and I use it to get me to work. I need the assurance that I can get them and myself to our destinations safely and without stressing that I will hope to make it. I am afraid and do not know if my car is going to stall on the highway or at an intersection. I like my Volvo and I want it to run like a Volvo should. I hope this matter can be resolved without any legal representation.

On July 28, 2013, my wife and I were driving in her C30 Houston, TX when the engine stopped running and we coasted to the shoulder of the road. The car was towed to my personal mechanic to determine the problem; I was informed the A/C belt was destroyed and the timing belt had slipped a few teeth on the pulley. I had new belts replaced and when the car would not start, the service advisor notified me that there might be additional damage to the engine. The car was transported to Star Motors in Houston, 7000 Old Katy Road, for further evaluation. The service advisor informed me that since the timing belt had slipped a few teeth on the pulley, there was significant amount of damage to the engine, valves, rods, etc, the kind of damage expected when the engine is running in this configuration.I was asked to forward maintenance records to file a claim on my extended warranty Volvo VIP coverage; telephone number: 1 888 723 1140; Ive been informed that the claim is denied because the A/C belt failed, was destroyed, causing the timing belt to slip, thus causing the damage. Rubber belts are not covered under warranty per the extended warranty coverage description. Mileage on the car is 59,950 miles, 2008 C30. The belts in question are not due to be changed until the 120,000-mile maintenance service so there is no question of lack of maintenance for the belts. The long maintenance interval, to me, implies high quality belts. I am requesting Volvo cover the damage caused by the belt failure. I have replaced the belts with new and intend to replace them in the future at 50,000 mile interval for preventive measure.

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.

December 18, 2014, I purchased a new Volvo XC60 from Friendship Volvo, Bristol, TN. The one big thing I do not like is that it came with a little bicycle wheel for a spare tire. I paid $500 for an extra wheel and $216 for a tire. The next thing this spare will not go into the wheel well that the little bicycle wheel comes out of. So, you have to just put that big spare in your rear compartment and chain it down for safety reasons. Later I noticed that the bicycle wheel was only a 17-inch wheel. My vehicle came with 18-inch. I measured the diameter of the spare wheel versus the original wheel. It was 6 1/2 inches less in diameter. Here is the quote from the Volvo owners manual page 311: Caution: The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with the vehicle. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your cars transmission. I wanted to bring this to the attention of others in case they have one of these vehicles.

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.

At random intervals while driving my Volvo XC90, I heard a loud thumping noise coming from under the hood. Immediately after, the windshield vipers turn on, the brake message gets displayed on the dashboard, then the dashboard becomes blank and I lose power. I am able to restart my car after a few minutes, but my trip computer displays fewer trip miles than before and the clock is blank. Whenever I experience this incident, it is never isolated but it occur a couple of times. But when I let the car rest overnight, the symptoms disappear. These issues generally occur on trips that are 4 to 5 hours or more in duration. Once in a while, it occurs on shorter trips of 1 hour. Once the incident is over, I see the following message on the dashboard SRS Airbag Service, Urgent. This issue has baffled two Volvo dealers in two different states and is currently with a 3rd dealer in a different state.

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.

Volvo XC90 2010 - Passenger side door lock not functioning (2 times), air conditioner (not functioning), would not start 2 times.

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.

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.

This is the third time this has happened. There were temporary fixes the first two times to the tune of several hundred dollars. Now, Im told the only fix is to replace the entire panel at a cost of over $1,500. Its too much money for a used car and I cant afford it anyway, the speedometer, tachometer, nothing works, no lights and a warning that the airbags are not working either. This is a safety issue and should not Volvo be held accountable and made to recall and repair such an occurrence? That model car is known to have problems all over the US and Europe. The web is full of complaints. Is there not an agency in our government that deals with such safety violations and helps victims get relief?

Volvo of Edison is the last place to buy service for your vehicle. Once you are past your extended warranty, they push you aside. The lack of compassion in this economic time is unreal. My 2004 XC90 went there for an oil change on Sep 23 and then returned on Oct 15 for additional repairs. On October 31, the engine was blown from lack of oil. They are taking no responsibility for the damage. I am a single parent and the car was my only transportation to work. They also own two more dealerships.

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.

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.

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.

Well, the car IS denim blue. Thats a little joke. Bought this car via overseas delivery program. That went as well as it could I suppose. The OSD US headquarters in New Jersey has ONE staff person in a call center and she is over worked. Took days for her to respond to our calls and overall we grade her a D to C. The wait to finally receive the car was long, 9 months for us. Our choice not Volvos problem. We kept telling ourselves Were saving so much money. We are solid middle class and but for me giving in to my wife and us having on investment pool available for her to spend, we wouldnt have the car. The latter is my preference. The two star rating doesnt just reflect on car but the unnecessary dealer delays all along the way to present and continuing. My 2014 Honda CRV is superior in many ways to big blue. Better paint job, straight forward and easy access to mechanicals of the engine and engine bay components, simple well designed cabin controls, lack of complicated car computer system. It is plug and play so to speak unlike the Volvo where we really should take a class on how to operate the center display with its myriad functions.Right away soon after delivery and receipt of the car I noticed a failed seal on a passenger side read tail light, the small one mounted on the trunk lid. Moisture is clearly present all along the light lense. Ok....small thing but a first in life for me and I am age 69. Second, the wheel lug nut cover removal tool was not put in the car at the factory. I think the interior cabin key has yet to be found. The hood latch on the drivers side began sticking. The hood can be opened but a second pull on the front hood release is needed.The steering feel of the car is artificial and does not inspire confidence about absolute control. Now I am left unsure about what other little gremlins will surface. We bought a car before that turned out to be a lemon, our first luxury car. The V is the second. Will it turn yellow? The suspense is very bothersome. I have a lot of automotive repair and maintenance experience since age 16 including engine re-building. There is almost nothing on this car I can maintain myself so here come the bills! Volvo makes very odd and impractical decisions about placement/access to functions in the engine bay. Coolant reservoir is very difficult to read level as the tank is buried in a chamber! Similarly the brake fluid reservoir top is even buried more in a chamber. I like the cars exterior design, the seats, the interior, the transmission (so far), the peppy engine (although the long term effects of direct injection worry me) and on balance natural aspiration is superior, at least for me.All in all I would not recommend Volvo cars. I recommend something when it is perfect. This car is far from it and that is worrisome for what we will spend on its care and feeding. Volvo cars are a dealers dream. It reminds me more of the very average to below average American made junk. Yeah they may look nice but.... watch out here come repair bills! Dont buy one!

I currently own a 2008 Volvo C70 with only 60K miles. Although the car is OK in general the leather seats are terrible. I have kept these seats cleaned with leather cleaner but that has not done any good. These seat have worn, cracked, and split leather. The manufacturer will not help in any way. The same was true for my 2001 Volvo S60, which at the time on trade in only had 70K miles. I thought at the time that I just did not take care of those seats. That was wrong on my part. They just make terrible seats. I have learned my lesson. Never again will I purchase a Volvo. PS repair cost are also very high.

If you have a Volvo car I hope you do not have to buy Volvo parts for it. I needed the plastic back part of a wing mirror and had to pay 120 for it and had to fit it myself. It is just a rook off for something they paid no more than £5 for.

Ive owned this 2016 Volvo S60 Premier T5 for almost 2 years now and it has been a great car so far. The only peeve I have is the engine start/stop when sitting in traffic. Its really sensitive to the speed of the car but luckily it can be turned off. The car has plenty of safety features with the tech package including the lane departure warning and BLIS. Also I highly recommend the sport package. While the 19 wheels arent too flashy the shorter more aggressive springs make the car handle great on windy roads. Altogether the Volvo S60 is a great car.

I officially have had it with Volvo USA, Volvo of Oklahoma City!!! I messed up by believing the hype behind Volvo. I messed up for paying for a preowned Volvo just out of warranty. I messed up by trusting Volvo would be a car that would make it past 50,000 or 80,000 or 100,000 miles without multiple expensive major car issues. I should have purchases an insane extended car warranty. Dont be fooled like me.In April of 2018, I had completed doing my research on the car that I had been wanting to get since the new design of the Volvo XC 90 had dropped. I worked closely with my credit union to secure the financing necessary to go and seal the deal with MY CAR!! I chose a pre-owned 2016 Volvo XC 90 Momentum, that had the upgraded bells & whistles. It was just out of the manufacturers warranty, but it is a Volvo, which were known for going well into the 300,000-mile radius. The cost for this luxury vehicle was a stretch, but I knew, based on the high ratings of the reliability, advanced safety, performance, and the technology that I would be happy for years to come. I kept my vehicle maintained with Volvo’s “Authorized Servicer”; the only within a 150-mile radius.THE PROBLEMS BEGIN. Just 3 short months after having my beautiful car, I had noticed that my a/c was not cooling, and in Oklahoma… you need that air blowing full blast during our Summers! I took my car to the “Authorized Servicer” that would be VOLVO OF OKLAHOMA CITY. They ran a test to make sure there were no leaks in any hoses, and cycled U/V dye through the system; they stated the reservoir was simply empty, so it was filled. Three short months later no a/c AGAIN. I take my car for a second opinion at to a well-respected a/c servicer in town. They ran the what appeared to be the same test and inform me that the A/C evaporator (MAJOR REPAIR) needed to be replaced; a $2,700 fix. I was told that this is a highly unusual fix for a 2 year old vehicle. In fact, the tech stated the last time he had a vehicle in to replace this was on a 2002 model. Back to the issue. I panic then contacted Volvo USA, they agree to assist me with 50% of the cost of the part to be replaced, which left a whopping $1800 for me to pay out of pocket, but only to be completed with their “Authorized Servicer”. I had it repaired with Volvo of Oklahoma City.Next, just a week and ½ after getting my Volvo back, I get MULTIPLE illuminated lights. Get this... the Check Engine Light, SRS Airbag light, and the Auto-Hold light. I did not panic, called the “Authorized Servicer”, and was told to just bring the car in for them to check it out; they figured something maybe just did not get plugged back in. WRONG!! I get a call stating that both the Turbo Gasket AND the O2 Sensor was bad, and would need to be replaced. That was not all... Volvo of OKC stated the Auto-hold button was broken, and this fix was quoted $1650. I took my car to a local Volvo dealer for a second opinion, and determined the lights were all on due to a second battery (auxiliary battery) going out. They replaced it and fixed the Turbo Gasket for $500 less than Volvo of OKC. Thank you Swedish!! I HIGHLY recommend them.Fast forward to December 23, 2019. My car was serviced at Volvo of Oklahoma City for a routine oil charge which is $179, but it is meant to last up to 10,000 miles or 1 year (whichever comes 1st). I also had my brakes and rotors replaced which cost me $850. They check my car with their routine Multipoint Inspection and only note that my tires should be replaced in the near future. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about a oil leak!! I get my car back with absolutely no mention about an front crack seal and leak. 3 weeks (of my 1 year) after my $179 oil change (mind you I am supposed to have. MY OIL LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED letting me know that I needed to add oil. I call them and am then told that it appears that my car has an oil leak in the front crack seal, but they didnt think it was serious enough to mention (can I be the judge of that). I ask for a call from the manager and get a ** response of, Well, it was noted on page 2 of your paperwork. Are you kidding me, do you feel that was not worth mentioning BEFORE my $179 oil change!!! He stated, Well you would have needed to get the oil changed anyways. I was furious and stated I would not have opted to overlook that type of issue, and would have appreciated the knowledge as I trusted them with informing me of this. I was quoted $1166 to fix this issue. Volvo USA stated they could not assist me in trading this in toward another vehicle, and they also would not be able to further assist me with my vehicle. Volvo of OKC MANAGER said that he was willing to give me a 10% discount for my inconvenience. I told them I want my $179 back they said only if I get my vehicle fixed there????. I AM BEYOND PISSED! #VolvoCarsUSA #VolvoCarsOfOklahomaCity #VolvoCarsNorthAmerica #LemonOfAVolvo #DisappointedVolvoOwner #HorribleCustomerService #StandBehindYourNameVolvo #Trash
