VOLVO Complaints

WATER LEAKS BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE CAR DUE TO A BAD WINDSHIELD SEAL. YOU CAN PUSH FROM THE INSIDE AND SEE THE WINDSHIELD LEAVE THEY FRAME OF THE CAR. THIS CAUSES MILDEW TO FORM IN THE CAR AND I HAVE SPEND MANY $100S TO REMEDY. TO REPLACE WINDSHIELD IS $1000 BECAUSE OF THE RE-CALIBRATION OF ELECTRONICS THAT IS NEEDED.

PULLING UP TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT ABOUT TWO MILES PER HOUR, THE ENGINE CUT OUT (AS IT NORMALLY DOES FOR START/STOP). HOWEVER, WHEN ENGINE CUT, ALL POWER SYSTEMS TURNED OFF. THE SCREENS WENT BLACK AND NO BUTTONS WERE RESPONSIVE - THE IGNITION BUTTON DID NOT RESTART THE CAR AND THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD NOT ACTIVATE. POWER LOCKS DID NOT WORK. THREE MINUTES LATER, THE CAR SCREENS TURNED BACK ON AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED. I DO NOT RECALL PUSHING THE START BUTTON BEFORE IT DID THIS, SO PERHAPS THE BUTTON MESSAGE WAS "QUEUED" AND WAITING WHEN POWER RETURNED. THE BATTERY SEEMS TO HAVE ADEQUATE VOLTAGE UNDER LOAD AND THE TERMINALS ARE FASTENED TIGHTLY, SO I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE A BATTERY-RELATED ISSUE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON. BRING IT TO A BODY SHOP AND NOTHING CHANGED. CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE IT.

PARK THE CAR AND SMELL GAS DID SOME MORE RESEARCH AND HOW TO SET THE FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING GAS OUT OF THE CAR ON THE STREET AND SAD DOESN'T HAVE GAS PRESSURE AND IT LEAKS GAS UNDER THE BACK SEAT

I RECENTLY HAD A RECALL ON A VOLVO FOR DOOR LATCHES. WHEN LOOKING AT OTHER RECALLS, I FOUND THAT THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE, INDICATING LOW OIL PRESSURE, WAS A RECALL ON A PRIOR YEAR, SAME MAKE AND MODEL. I DID FURTHER RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR HAD A POSSIBLE RECALL OF THE WRONG DATE OF MANUFACTURE. I WAS ASSURED BY VOLVO THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED; HOWEVER, IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, WAS THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, SAYS IT WAS MADE IN THE SAME CITY, AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TITLE ALONG WITH GETTING AN ORIGINAL DATE OF SELL FOR THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT FROM A BUY HERE, PAY HERE PLACE, AND IT HAD AN YELLOW X ON THE INSIDE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I THINK IT WAS AFFECTED BY THE PRIOR RECALL AND THAT I CAN NOT GET ALL THE NEEDED RECALLS BECAUSE THE PRIOR MISPRINT OF THE YEAR WAS NEVER CORRECTED BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO THE DEALER.

PARKING BREAK CAN BECOME TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE INFORMATION CENTER DOES NOT RELAY ANY OTHER INFORMATION WHEN THE AUTO IS RUNNING! GPS, TIRE PRESSURE, ETC LOW GAS, ETC INFORMATION IS VOIDED. THREE TIMES CAR HAD TO BE REPAIR, APPARENTLY WATER, COFFEE ETC CAN GET INTO THE SWITCH AS THE SWITCH IS LOCATED NEXT TO THE CUP HOLDERS BETWEEN THE SEATS. BAD LOCATION OR POOR DESIGN OF THE SWITCH? SERIOUS "BECAUSE RUNNING INFORMATION" IS VOIDED ON DASH!. FIRST REPAIR WAS FREE, SECOND TIME THE REPAIR WAS TO COST $500. THIRD TIME (AT A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP)REPAIR WAS NO COST ("COFFEE OR OTHER MAY HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE SWITCH" ONE MECHANIC NOT RELATED TO VOLVO SUGGESTED THAT THEY SIMPLY DISCONNECT THE BATTERY, WAIT AND RECONNECT SO THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IS VOIDED FOR A FEW MINUTES. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON CITY AND HIGHWAY WHEN PROBLEM OCCURED...

THE ETS LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE CAR ENDED UP STALLING AFTER BEING PARKED UPON TRYING TO RESTART IT. THIA IS AM ISSUE THAT ONLY THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP CAN FIX SINCE IT INVOLVES REPROGRAMMING OR REPLACING AND PROGRAMMING A NEW ETS MODULE. FORTUNATELY IT HAPPENED TO ME IN A PARKING LOT AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT ROWED TO A SHOP TWICE. NOW IT IS GOING TO THE DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWN A 2003 VOLVO S60. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT STRUTS WERE COMING THROUGH THE STRUT MOUNTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND ANOTHER UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHERRY HILL VOLVO CARS (1810 W RTE 70, CHERRY HILL, NJ 08002), WHERE THE STRUT MOUNTS WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WAS HE AFRAID THAT WHILE DRIVING OVER A BUMP THE STRUTS MIGHT DETACH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 126,000.

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. I LET GO OF THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR STILL UNCONTROLLABLY ACCELERATES! GAS PEDAL IS STUCK. HITTING THE BREAKS SLOWS THE CAR A BIT. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND FINALLY AND LUCKILY THE "R-DESIGN" GAS PEDAL COVER FELL OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP ACCELERATING. INTENDED TO DRIVE AT 65 MPH BUT THE CAR ITSELF ACCELERATED TO UP TO 80 MPH MOMENTARILY.
