Volvo V50 repairs and service

Volvo Cars is a Swedish multinational manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Torslanda, Gothenburg. The company manufactures SUVs, station wagons, and sedans. The company's main marketing arguments are safety and its Swedish heritage and design.

Based on the S40 sedan, the V50 looks great, drives nicely, has standard safety features such as stability control, and has a roomy cargo area. Our favorite model, the base 2.4i, is gone for 2011, but the new standard turbo isn’t bad. Surprisingly practical space inside and classically clean Scandinavian design throughout are perks, but this small wagon is pricey for its size. Handling is skewed more toward safety than amusement. All-wheel drive is no longer on the table; this is the last year for the V50.

Product Reviews:


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

Having owned a Volvo tractor truck for 4 years, I can honestly say I will never own another. Bill Gates could take lessons from Volvo on dedicated parts. Everything on a Volvo is complicated and outrageously expensive. For example I offer: The left wiper arm mount rusted and the entire apparatus had to be replaced- $775.00. A door hinge broke and an entire panel had to be replaced along with the hinge- $680.00. The interior cabinet doors have such a complicated latch I finally removed all the hardware, drilled holes and put simple knobs I bought at Lowes for $1.24. But the hinges on those doors have 6 parts and cost $60.00. Just to change a fuse you have to tear open the top of the dashboard. Do yourself a favor, don't buy a Volvo anything.

My unsafe and unreliable Volvo XC60. This is why I will never buy a Volvo again. A 1 year car which has been almost 4 month under repair, with problems affecting the engine, transmission, consumption, start and stop system, software... The Volvo customer support has been very bad. NEVER AGAIN!!! www.unsafevolvo.com

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!!!

To start I bought the xc60 based on all the research and feedback I got from people who had/have experienced Volvo and other consumer reports for its safety. All I ever heard was how long they last and how they are a very reliable brand. Unfortunately I have had less than that experience and so far the service at the dealership has to date "put a nail in the coffin" so to speak. I should begin with the oil consumption problem, which btw Volvo is fully aware of. After multiple trips back and forth to the dealer, specific testing done on the car with test results that were sent directly to Volvo themselves for a diagnosis! They offered to correct the problem and replace the parts in the engine in order for it to run and consume oil and fuel properly. Amongst many other trivial issues such as alignment, vent issues and speaker problems, the oil consumption problem is my biggest concern. I have two beautiful children I drive around in that vehicle! The first time I had an issue the car was almost completely out of oil! What if the engine seized? I spent thousands on the car which btw I bought brand new! It doesn't have much time left on its warranty and I contacted Volvo to extend the warranty solely on the new parts they replaced due to the issue. Nothing less, nothing more! They denied my request and I am beyond frustrated! So dissatisfied by this purchase!

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 shouldn't 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 don't want to be late for school again because of this car. I don't 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 didn't 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 didn't 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 Friday's 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 car's registration has been changed, but VicRoad wouldn't 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 car's 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 didn't 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 car's 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 haven't 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 don't believe anything you said to me." This car is still in Volvo car dealer, I don't 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 wouldn't 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 wouldn't let Volvo get away and continue to cheat other consumers.

Searched and waited for the color combo and features on this car. While waiting I should have done some homework!! I take my car to the Mission Viejo Volvo for service, when purchased a seam of the leather was coming out, had to take it in three times to get if fixed and made sure they didn't just shove it up with a screw driver like the first two visits. THE CAR RUNS OUT OF GAS!!! Your control can say "you have 30 miles or 50 miles... you will still run out." We don't let it go below 100 miles, the GM at Viejo after bringing me in his office and closing door said there is just no fix for it.The parking brake goes on while you are driving or stopped in traffic or at home and can't get it out of park... Very nice with the other patient drivers honking!!! This is my second time back in 6 weeks for brakes. First week in July they said they replaced brakes, pads and rotors! However I keep ending up in the middle of the intersection, well you guessed it less than two months later same problem. Manny says I have a lot of miles on the car so makes sense, never checking the records to see that it was just done. Just told me it was going to cost a lot.Also brought it in because the car sounds like a muscle car, the service guy asked me if I made it sound that way... Oh yea, sure. Pretty blonde mom with three kids wants to sound "Gangster." No it's only that the catalytic converter has gone out, they have ordered one. Maybe another week. They have had it this time three weeks. They said they were working on all the other computer problems while they wait, and may have to send a guy to school about how to fix the whole parking brake issue. My reason for buying the car was I have two new drivers in the family. They won't touch this cheered "safety vehicle." It's a nightmare. Since I have had the car 10 months, they have had it 10 of those weeks and counting in the service department. Help, anyone, help me get free of the monster on wheels!!

This is my fourth, and last Volvo XC70, because it's discontinued. I have a 2015.5 T6, fully loaded and costing $50K. Today I took the car in for a 30K service. They told me that the rear brake pads were worn and the rotors were groves, - $600 fix. Really, this is unacceptable at 30K miles! Get a grip Volvo, you won't keep customers with this shabby warranty.

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 didn't 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 it's 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 doesn't include in warranty. Even when outside shops like Canadian Tires are offering 5 years warranty on same tires. Isn't a Rip Off. I am paying more price and No Warranty. I am really frustrated at service as well. First time they didn't 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.

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.
