RECALL NOTICE ON 11/2019 TO REPLACE ALL DOORS DUE TO A SAFETY ISSUE (RECALL #: R89978: DOOR LATCHES). RECENTLY ON 12/1/2019, 12/23/2019 AND 1/5/2020 I NOTICED THAT MY REAR RIGHT DOOR SLIGHTLY OPENED WHILE CITY DRIVING IN SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD (LOTS OF STOPS) AND THE DOOR SIGNAL DID NOT INDICATE. THEY DID NOT FULLY OPEN BUT THE LATCH SEEMS TO HAVE AN ISSUE. HAVE BEEN REACHING OUT TO SERVICE AND VOLVO DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS NEEDED.

AS I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND THEN IT TURNED OFF I WAS UNABLE TO TURN ON MY HAZARDS TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS OR PULL OVER TO THE SIDE, AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND I PUT THE CAR IN P AND STARTED IT AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN LATER ON THE SAME DAY.

MY CAR DOESN'T NOTIFY ME THAT THE ENGINE OIL IS LOW. LAST YEAR, I DROVE ALL THE WAY TO MISSISSIPPI WITHOUT IT WARNING THAT THE OIL WAS LO WITH BARELY ANY OIL ON THE DIP STICK. WE STOPPED TO CHECK IT WHEN WE GOT GAS AND THAT IS HOW WE KNEW. IT HAS BEEN LOW SEVERAL TIMES THIS YEAR WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CHECK THE OIL TO ENSURE THERE IS ENOUGH IN THERE. IT DOES NOT HAVE AN OIL LEAK AS THERE IS NO OIL ON THE CONCRETE. I HAVE CHECKED WITH THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR IN REFERENCE TO LOW OIL BUT THERE SHOULD BE. I COULD HAVE BLOWN MY ENGINE

SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH EXTERIOR BODY PAINT, COMPLAINED TO VOLVO AND SHOWED IT TO DEALER AS PER THEIR ADVISE, DEALER AGREED THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE THERE WITH LIMITED MILES AND MAINLY LOCAL DRIVING WITH THIS CAR. SCRATCHES ALL OVER THE BODY AND THIS WAS THERE WITH IN 4 YEARS OF CAR AND I HAVE TRIED DETAILING THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO HELP TO REMOVE SCRATCHES. WHILE AT DEALERSHIP, RAN IN TO DEALER EMPLOYEE AND ANOTHER CUSTOMER WITH SIMILAR ISSUE FOR 2012 VOLVO S60. VOLVO REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE SAYING IT'S OUTSIDE WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP TOOK PICTURES AND AGREED THAT THIS IS DUE TO SOME UNDERLYING PAINT ISSUES, THEY WOULDN'T PUT IT IN WRITING AND LET VOLVO MANAGE THE COMPLAINT. NEED SOME HELP TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS IT IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN VOLVO ADMITS. I JUST NEED PAINT REPLACEMENT AND NOT EXPECTING ANY FINANCIAL COMPENSATION. ATTACHING PICTURES AND CAN PROVIDE MORE IF NECESSARY (REFLECTION DUE TO LIGHT, PLEASE ZOOM IN AND YOU WILL SEE THE 2 INCHES LONG STREAKS AND WHITE SPECKLES ALL OVER).
