VOLVO Complaints

THE CAR DISPLAYED A LOW OIL WARNING, SO I CHECKED AND THE OIL WAS A LITTLE LOW SO I ADDED A QUART. THE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. THE NEXT DAY, SAME THING HAPPENED, BUT OIL LEVEL WAS FULL. THE LIGHT AGAIN WENT OUT. LATER THAT DAY, THE LOW OIL LIGHT CAME BACK ON, SO I PULLED OVER AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE. DECIDED TO CHANGE THE OIL, AND SAW METAL SHAVING IN THE FILTER. I DISASSEMBLED THE ENGINE AND METAL WAS EVERYWHERE. THE CULPRIT WAS A SHATTERED OIL PUMP, WHICH SPEWED METAL ALL INTO THE CRANKSHAFT AND BEARINGS. A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE FOUND NUMEROUS CASES SIMILAR TO MINE, WHERE THE ENGINE BLEW WITH NO TYPE OF WARNING OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE OIL PUMP THAT BREAKS DOWN AND SHATTERS INSIDE THE ENGINE BLOCK, CAUSING METAL TO ENTER THE ENGINE AND DESTROY IT.

*WITH THE BOWERS & WILKINS SOUND SYSTEM* TWICE WITHIN 1400 MILES, THERE WAS A LOUD "POP" SOUND FROM THE SPEAKERS FOLLOWED BY NO SOUND FROM ANY PORTION OF THE VEHICLE. THE POP SOUNDED LIKE A WINDOW OR THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. ALL SOUND WAS LOST: SENSUS FEEDBACK, TURN SIGNALS, PARKING SENSORS, PHONE, ETC. THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED WAS THE BASS. AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED AND OFF, AND RE-STARTED, EVERYTHING WORKED AS NORMAL. ODDLY, THERE WAS THE FEELING OF STATIC ELECTRICITY JUST PRIOR TO EACH POP. THESE POPS WERE CAUGHT ON DASH CAM FOR PROOF. THERE WAS STATIC HEARD IN THE DASH CAM VIDEO TOO. THE DEALER PROVIDED A "FIX" WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE DESCRIBED IN TECHNICAL JOURNAL. TJ 35554.20-2020 (IHU VOLUME RESTRCTION WITH ORANGE KEY). THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PROBLEM I HAD. THE ORANGE KEY WAS NO WHERE NEAR THE CAR DURING ANY OCCURRENCE. SINCE THE UPDATE, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL IDENTICAL LOUD POPS, BUT THE AUDIO CONTINUED WORKING. THE SAME STATIC ELECTRICITY FEELING OCCURRED MILLISECONDS BEFORE THE POP. ALL INCIDENTS OCCURRED WHILE ON A FREEWAY OR MERGING ON A FREEWAY, WITH MY PHONE ON THE WIRELESS CHARGER AND THE AUDIO ON AT LEAST AROUND 50%. MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE ON A REPUTABLE VOLVO FORUM.

MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER

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.

THE WINDSHIELD LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS. IT OBSTRUCTS MY VISION WHILE THE RAIN WATER RAN DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE GLASS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 VOLVO XC60. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V378000 (SEAT BELTS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED TO GORGES VOLVO CARS (17665 BURT ST, OMAHA, NE 68118; (402) 359-1500) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

SINCE PURCHASING IN MAY 2019, MY BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED ONCE AND MY ROTORS NOW THREE TIMES. I HAVE LESS THAN 20,000MI ON MY VOLVO. THE REASON IS BECAUSE OF PULSATIONS WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES AND IT CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AT TIMES. MY DEALER HAS BEEN STELLAR IN ADDRESSING MY CONCERNS EACH TIME I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT SERVICED. I HAVE SEEN ON VARIOUS BLOGS AND CONSUMER SITES THAT THIS IS A RATHER COMMON OCCURRENCE. I BELIEVE THE ROTORS EITHER ARE NOT EQUIPPED FOR THIS VEHICLE OR THE QUALITY OF THE ROTORS ARE SUBPAR. IF A REMEDY OR RECALL IS NOT SUBSTANTIATED, THE OWNERS SHOULD BE ASSURED BRAKES AND ROTORS WILL BE COVERED BY VOLVO, INDEFINITELY.
