I AM WRITING ABOUT WHAT MAY BE DESIGN FLAW WITH THE VOLVO S60R THAT HAS ME VERY CONCERNED. MY FRONT TIRES RUB ON THE BODY IN THE WHEEL WELL WHEN I TURN SHARPLY INTO A PARKING SPACE. I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD DO THAT BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S "NORMAL" AND THE CAR "SETTLES" AS IT GETS OLDER. SEVERAL OTHER VOLVO S60 OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WHERE THE TIRES RUB ON THE BODY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I BELIEVE IT WILL CAUSE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION AND IT'S WEARING DOWN THE EDGE OF THE TIRES PREMATURELY, WHICH MAY ALSO BE DANGEROUS.

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT STARTED SMOKING WITHIN A FEW SECONDS OF STARTING THE VEHICLE WHILE BACKING OUT OF PARKING PLACE. SEAT HEATER WAS ON. IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND TURNED OFF SEAT HEATER AND SMOKING STOPPED. QUARTER SIZE HOLE WAS BURNED INTO THE LEATHER SEAT BOTTOM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OUTSIDE PANEL. TOOK IT TO DARRELL WALTRIP VOLVO/SUBARU IN FRANKLIN, TN, AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE SEAT HEATER AND TOOK THE FUSE OUT. SAID IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND NO RECALL OUT. HOPE NO ONE HAS THIS PROBLEM DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE.
