VOLVO Complaints

MY CONTROL ARM ON THE FRONT RIGHT IS COMING LOOSE AND IS GIVING LESS CONTROL IN TURNING, ALSO MY CAR IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL PUMP. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE DEMONSTRATED WHILE UNDER MOTION ON ANY TERRAIN AND THE FUEL PROBLEM IS OBSERVED MORE DURING ACCELERATION.

VOLVO XC90 2018 MODELS WILL NOT ALWAYS DISPLAY REAR VIEW CAMERA CONTENT WITHIN 2 SECONDS OF SHIFTING INTO REVERSE AS PER FMVSS 111. THIS IS DUE TO REALLY SLOW AND LAGGING INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. BEHAVIOR IS EVIDENT ON MULTIPLE MODELS AND VEHICLES WHICH SHARE SAME SENSUS INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 VOLVO XC90. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CRIPPEN VOLVO (8300 W. SAGINAW HWY, LANSING, MI), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH LATER, WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT AND THE DRIVER NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIE ROD BALL JOINT FAILED AND THE WHEELS WERE NOT PROPERLY POSITIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND THE TIE ROD WAS DAMAGED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V155000 (STEERING) ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. ALSO, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE IMMEDIATELY STARTED. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND CAUSED THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. *TT*JB

THE AIRBAG SYMBOL APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AS WELL. EVEN WHEN I GET IT(ELECTRICAL) REPAIRED: IT REAPPEAR AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS.{WHILE DRIVING THESE SYMBOLS APPEAR STILL AS OF THIS DAY. PLEASE CAN YOU ADVICE ME WHERE I SHOULD HAVE IT FIX. I LIVE IN MARENGO, IOWA 52301

CPSC: ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2018 AROUND 4:30PM ON A SATURDAY, I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS AND SUDDENLY MY CURTAIN AIRBAGS ON MY 2012 VOLVO DEPLOYED. THERE WAS A HIGH PITCH, LOUD SCREECHING NOISE, A LOUD POP AND ALL THIS DEBRIS SPRAYED ALL OVER ME AND THE INSIDE OF MY CAR AND THESE WHITE PLASTIC AIRBAGS (CURTAINS) BUSTED THROUGH THE ROOF OF MY CAR. *DT *JS

WHEN THE VEHICLE WARMS UP FROM START IT WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD OR REVERSE IT STARTED AT LIKE 30 MILES AND I PARKED THE CAR TILL I COULD GET IT FIXED NOW WHEN THE CAR JUST WARMS UP (NOT GETS HOT) IT WILL NOT ENGAGE TRANS I HAVE ON MORE SENSER TO CHECK BUT THE CAR WILL MOVE WHEN YOU FIRST START IT BOTH FORWARD AND BACK BUT WHEN IT WARMS UP IT STOPS

I WAS DRIVING AND MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS. IT APPEARED AS IF SOMEONE COMPLETED UNPLUGGED MY CAR FROM THE POWER OUTLET. COMPLETELY BLACK SCREEN ON ALL ELECTRONICS AND IF THE DOOR OPENED NO LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAVE THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEIR MIGHT BE A CORRUPT FILE AND A SOFTWARE UPDATE IS REQUIRED. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. ALSO, THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO GO IN NEUTRAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S60. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STATIONARY, THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SMOKE ENTERED INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 1994 VOLVO 850. I HAVE A LEAK WHERE THE HEAT SHIELD IS ATTACHED TO THE GAS TANK. VOLVO IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW THE RECALL. THE LEAK OF GAS IS 100% FROM THE RECALLED SPOT HEATSHIELD SIDE OF THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT COULD BLOW BACK ON THE EXHAUST AND CAUSE A FIRE.
