I AM PAYING FOR THE THIRD LIGHT BALLAST IN THIS VOLVO 700-1000 DOLLARS EACH TIME. I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION IN 2010 IT IS ONLINE. LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENS. WHEN THE BALLAST FAILS THE HEADLIGHT GO OFF. SOMETIME 1 LIGHT, SOMETIMES BOTH. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT, THE PAST TWO TIME THAT THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. GUESS WHAT, THERE IS NO BACK UP LIGHT . SO I HAD TO DRIVE TO THE NEXT EXIT IN TOTAL FEAR OF CRASHING DURING THE RAIN. OH, AND I DID PULL OVER IN THE SIDE PROBLEM THERE WAS NO SHOULDER, CONSTRUCTION. ALL YOU NEED TO LIGHT A BULB IS A FEW WATTS, THE BALLAST SYSTEM IS A JOKE AND COSTLY. IT WILL RESULT IN SOMEONE CRASHING AND DEATH. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS , CHECK ONLINE YOU WILL SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL AND YEAR. OH , ALSO HAD THE TRANSMISSION RECALLED . MINE FAILED AT 75000 MILES , STILL PAID 1500 FOR THE WORK NICE COMPANY. *TR

SMELLED GASOLINE, TOOK IT TO A SHOP, THEY FOUND FUEL PUMP CRACKED, REPLACED FUEL PUMP. THEN WE FOUND OUT THE WAS A RECALL IN SOUTHERN STATES FOR THIS PROBLEM SPECIFICALLY. WE LIVE IN THE NEW ENGLAND AREA AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED UNDER THE RECALL. I FEEL COMPLETELY WRONGED IN THIS SITUATION. THE RECALL WAS SPECIFIC TO HEAT CYCLING. NO WERE IN THE US IS THIS MORE APPARENT THAN NEW ENGLAND. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED A FEW DAYS AGO AND NOW NOTICE THERE IS A SMELL OF GASOLINE WHEN WE GET OUT OF THE CAR. I WENT ON LINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP WHICH SITS ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. I CONTACTED VOLVO AND THEY SAID TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER IN WATERBURY CT. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $800 TO REPAIR THE PART BECAUSE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, AND THIS IS NOVEMBER. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND FEEL THAT VOLVO SHOULD REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART FREE OF CHARGE. VOLVO SAID THAT THE RECALL ONLY APPLIES TO THAT MODEL LOCATED IN THE SOUTH OR SOUTHWESTERN US. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THIS CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR LONG PERIODS IN THOSE REGIONS. ALSO, HOW CAN THEY KNOW IF THEIR KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS FUEL PUMP HAS NOT SPREAD TO OTHER AREAS AS WELL? *TR

DRIVING ALONG A RURAL ROAD IN E. OREGON AT AROUND 7:30 PM AND ALL FRONT LIGHTS WENT OUT AT ONCE (ALL OF THEM). THIS CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS WE WERE NOT IN A CELL PHONE AREA AND HAD TO SLEEP IN CAR OVERNIGHT AND DROVE OUT OF AREA AT DAYLIGHT THE NEXT DAY. THE CAR WORKED FINE EXCEPT FOR A COMPLETE LIGHTING FAILURE, WHICH IS IMPORTANT AS YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN COUNTRY ROADS IN THE DARK. *TR
