WHEN DRIVING OR BACKING OUT AT LOW SPEED THE STEERING LOCKS UP, VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL. DEALER CONTACTED. *AK *JB

WHILE DRIVING STEPPED ON BRAKE PEDAL, BUT VEHICLE DID NOT STOP ON TIME, AND COULD CAUSED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. HAD CONTACTED DEALER, AND THEY HAD REPAIRED VEHICLE A COUPLE TIMES. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*AK

CONSUMER HAD BEEN HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END WHILE DRIVING. HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER. DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT SPRINGS, HANGERS AND SHOCKS. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING SHAFT U JOINTS. ALL THE REPAIRS STILL DID NOT GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. *JG *AK

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE COULD HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD AND SUDDENLY LOSE CONTROL. ALSO, CONSUMER COULD HEAR NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT. DEALER HAS CHECKED THE FRONT END, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ALSO HAD THE SPRINGS, HANGERS, SHOCKS, STEERING SHAFT AND U-JOINTS REPLACED, WHICH PROVIDED NO HELP AT ALL. *JG *AK

THE REPLACED RIGHT SEAT BELT ANCHOR PULLED OUT OF THE FLOOR BECAUSE A "SPRING CLIP" FAILED. I BELIEVE THE DESIGN MAY BE FAULTY. THERE IS NO HOLE AND BOLT ANCHORING THE SEAT BELT.*AK

UNDERHOOD WIRING HARNESS IS PROTECTED FROM HEAT/ELEMENTS BY A CONVOLUTED TUBING. THE CONVOLUTED TUBING HAS BECOME VERY BRITTLE, TURNED TO POWDER AND FALLEN OFF THE HARNESS LEAVING THE HARNESS UNPROTECTED. VOLVO IS APPARENTLY USING A TUBING PLASTIC UNDERHOOD THAT CANNOT WITHSTAND HEAT! THE WIRING HARNESS ON MY CAR IS NOW LEFT UNPROTECTED AND WILL LIKELY SUFFER PREMATURE FAILURE SIMILAR TO EVERY OTHER MAJOR SYSTEM ON THIS CAR.

AFTER USAGE SEAT BELTS WILL NOT RETRACT TO HOME BOX, RESULTING IN BUCKLE LATCHES DAMAGING INTERIOR OF VEHICLE/ DOOR LIGHTS. *AK
