VOLVO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLVO XC60. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND IT STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

OUR CAR HAS ABOUT 93,000 MILES ON IT. BEGINNING AT 60,000 MILES, THE CAR BEGAN TO USE AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE LOW OIL INDICATOR COMES ON AND WE NEED TO ADD ONE OR MORE QUARTS OF OIL AT EACH 3,000 TO 3,500 MILES. THE CAR DEALER TELLS US IT IS "NORMAL" FOR SOME CARS TO USE THIS AMOUNT OF OIL AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I NOTICED A RECALL NOTICETSB #TJ30021 COVERED SOME 2011 VOLVO XC 70S FOR OIL LOSS. WHY DOES IT NOT COVER THE 2010 CARS? THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. HAVE THERE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE? I HAVE RECORDS FOR MY OIL CHANGES FROM THE CAR DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 VOLVO XC90. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL ODOR EMANATING FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE ODOR CAUSED THE CONTACT TO SUSTAIN OCCASIONAL HEADACHES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO XC70. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A FUEL ODOR EMITTED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE ODOR WAS NOTICED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO VISIBLE FUEL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V483000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

DASH CLUSTER LIGHTS AND GAUGES AND TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR SHUT DOWN AND BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY, MOTOR SEEMS TO LOSE POWER WHEN DRIVING, AND ROUGH IDLE. THE DASH CLUSTER PROBLEM HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND IN THE PARK POSITION. *TR

I SMELLED GASOLINE FUMES IN CAR WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET, AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK CAR TO MY VOLVO MECHANIC. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A CRACKED FUEL PUMP. COST ME $723.55 OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR. BOUGHT THE CAR ON 02/14/2015 AND THIS REPAIR WAS ON 09/24/2015; JUST OVER SEVEN MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP! I RESEARCHED, AND SAW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, AND CALLED VOLVO ABOUT IT. VOLVO SAID THEY WOULD NOT HONOR RECALL NOTICE ON MY CAR BECAUSE I WAS NOT LOCATED IN ONE OF THE STATES SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. TOTALLY UNFAIR!! OBVIOUSLY, THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED IN MY VOLVO IN THE STATE OF COLORADO, WHICH HAS TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS FROM BELOW 0DEG F TO OVER 95DEG F THROUGHOUT THE SEASONS. I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND FEEL I AM NOT THE ONLY VOLVO OWNER WHO HAS RUN ACROSS THIS GEOGRAPHICAL DISPARITY CONTAINED IN VOLVO'S RECALL NOTICE. I WANT A REIMBURSEMENT, AND, ALTHOUGH MY MECHANIC IS NOT A VOLVO DEALER, HE HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 25 YEARS, AND SPECIFICALLY WORKS ON VOLVO VEHICLES ONLY. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM PEDERSEN VOLVO IN FORT COLLINS, CO, ON FEBRUARY 14, 2015, AND THE SERVICE MANAGER CHRIS SAID HE ALSO WOULD CONTACT VOLVO FOR ASSISTANCE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP ME AS VOLVO MAINTAINED THE STIPULATION OF VEHICLE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA. MY REPAIR MECHANIC IS CARL DUKE VOLVO REPAIR, FORT COLLINS, COLORADO.

THE STEERING STICKS/LOCKS AND POPS WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT MAKING IF VERY HARD TO IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER, BUT WORKS FINE WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE WHEN THE CAR FIRST STARTS AND IMPROVES AS IT IS DRIVEN. THE STEERING GEAR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW (AT 34K AND 92K MILES). THE VOLVO DEALER REPORTED NO PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING PUMP AND COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE REASONS FOR THE REPEATED FAILURE, SIMPLY REPORTING THE STEERING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE PROBLEM DID GO AWAY AFTER REPLACING IT AGAIN. THE ISSUE WAS ALSO REPORTED TO VOLVO OF AMERICA, AS THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATENING FAILURE, BY IMPEDING ADEQUATE STEERING.

THIS CAR LEAK OIL EVERY WHERE THE VALVE COVER GASKET BREAK DOWN BECAUSE OF THE POR COOLING SYSTEM DESIGN AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP SPRAY OIL EVERY WHERE THE OIL GETS BURN IN THE EXAUST

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 VOLVO S60. WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE DRASTICALLY REDUCED SPEED AND STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING.
