2004 VOLVO S80 Complaints

BACK IN 2010 UNDER THE RECALL ADV ,I TOOK MY CAR IN TO MY VOLVO DEALER FOR THE RECALL FOR FUEL SMELL AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS OK . THE CAR THEN HAD AROUND 90.000 MILES OR SO, NOW I TAKE MY CAR BACK WITH STRONG FUEL SMELL IN 2015 170.000 MILES AND I REPORTED TO VOLVO HEAD QUARTERS AND THEY TELL THEY WILL COVER THE PUMP ONLY AND NOT THE LABOR TO TUNE OF 550.00 BECAUSE THE CAR HAS OVER 150000 MILES ON IT AND IS PAST THE RECALL EXTENDED WARRINTY , BUT I THOUGHT UNDER RECALL P29075 THAT VOLVO IS LIA FOR FREE REPLACEMENT OF PARTS AND LABOR THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN. VOLVO TOLD ME IT IS ABOUT 4 HRS LABOR WHEN THERE OWN RECALL CALLS FOR .09 HRS LABOR. SO IT HASN'T BEEN FIXED YET. I WILL FIX IT MY SELF TO THE TUNE OF A PUMP (BOCSH PUMP 155.00 )AND MY OWN LABOR.THANKS FOR NOTHING VOLVO I GUESS IF I WOULD OF BURNT UP IN THIS CAR VOLVO WOULDN'T BE LIA ? MY ATT SURE THINKS THEY WOULD OF BEEN. NEVER WILL BUY A VOLVO AGAIN.

CUSTOMER BY CSS WEB ([XXX]) (03/19/2014 08:08 PM) AFTER THIS VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ZIPPING ALONG THE INTERSTATE I RESOLVED TO FIGURE OUT WHY AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING CONDITION WOULD CAUSE IT TO DO SO. I HAVE A NUMBER OF KEYS ON THE KEYRING AND THE SPRING WHICH NORMALLY HOLDS THE KEY OUT STRAIGHT FROM ITS HOLDER IS BROKEN. WHEN THE KEY/HOLDER IS INSERTED BACK SIDE UP AND THEN ROTATED TO THE RUN POSITION THE BODY OF THE HOLDER EVENTUALLY FOLDS HALF WAY IN AGAINST THE COLUMN, WITH THE OTHER KEYS ON THE RING PULLING IT DOWNWARDS. AFTER ENOUGH BUMPS IN THE ROAD THE DOWNWARD FORCE ROTATES THE KEY OUT OF THE RUN POSITION. IF THE KEY/HOLDER IS INSERTED BUTTONS SIDE UP THIS DOES NOT OCCUR. THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS SCENARIO BEFORE THE GM LITIGATORS GET WIND OF IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRANSMISSION HAS ERRATIC SHIFTING DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR TO BE IN WAS TOLD BY VOLVO MECHANIC THAT TRANSMISSION WAS BROUGHT UP IN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE TRANSMISSION IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR CARS HORSE POWER. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR
