VOLVO Complaints

THE CAR WAS NOT ALINGED AND I WORE MY TIRES. I HAD TO PAY 1000.00 FOR A NEW SET. THE CAR STEREO HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES, CD WONT EJECT, POOR AUDIO QUALITY, LOTS OF CRACKLING. I STILL GET LOTS OF CLUNKING FROM THE FRONT END. THIS CAR IS NOT WORTH WHAT I PAYED. *AK

THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES ABRUPTLY AND GEARED THE TRANSMISSION DOWN TO LOW, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD INDICATING A LOSS OF VACUUM, THERE WAS NO SHOULDER FOR THE CONSUMER TO GET ONTO THEREFORE THE CONSUMER HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM, THERE WERE NO INJURIES. NLM

THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS STICK AND CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. WHEN HANDLE IS PULLED FROM OUTSIDE, DOOR PANEL SEPARATES FROM DOOR FRAME. THIS ESPECIALLY HAPPENS IN HOT, HUMID WEATHER. *AK

ON 12/18/99 WE PURCHASED 4 DUNLOP D60 A2 TIRES FROM THE TIREN FARMINGDALE/HOWELL NJ. THEY HAVE A DUNLOP # OF CR3651-2 AND CR365 1-1 AND CR2196-1. TODAY ON THE WAY TO WORK MY WIFE CALLED ME TO SAY THE TIRE WAS MAKING A THUMPING NOISE. SHE STOPPED TO LOOK AT IT AND SAW A PIECE OF TIRE MISSING. I SENT HER TO SEARS TO BUY A REPLACEMENT TIRE AND WHEN SHE GOT TO SEARS, THE WORKER SHOWED HER THE OTHER TIRE WAS SEPARATING. IN APRIL I REPLACED ONE OF THE TIRES CAUSE IT HAD A NAIL IN THE SIDE WALL AND A PIECE OF RUBBER WAS MISSING. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A ROAD HAZZARD. NOW I REALIZE THE TIRES ARE DEFECTED SINCE ALL REMAINING THREE ARE SEPARATING. I WILL NOTIFY TIRE FARM BUT I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS. THANK GOD MY WIFE WAS NOT HURT. ALL THE TIRES HAVE DOT DBV9 CA8 AND THE NUMBERS (348) (208) (208) AND (E11) 022682 THEY ALSO HAVE PO51D3-B ON THE TIRES IN FACT THE REPLACEMENT TIRE I BOUGHT AT SEARS IS THE SAME DOT # THEY ALL HAVE 01 08 40 ON THE TIRES. THE ONE FROM SEARS HAS NOT SEPARATED YET!!! WHEN WE PUT THE TIRES ON WE HAD 86,000 MILES ON THE CAR NOW IT IS 129,000. NOT THIS IS ALL HIGHWAY MILES AND THE TREAD WARE IS SMALL. DO YOU WANT ME TO SAVE THE TIRES FOR YOU? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU AND LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.*AK (DOT NUMBER: DBV9 CA8 TIRESIZE: P195/60R15)

ALTHOUGH THE TIRE REMAINS INFLATED, THE TREADS HAVE SPLIT OPEN EXPOSING THE BELTS. THE TIRE HAS NEVER BEEN USED.*AK (DOT NUMBER: B5FT294 TIRESIZE: T11570R15)

CRUNCHING NOISES ON APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. CLANKING NOISE ON BACKING UP. DRAGGING AND TUGGING FEELING WHILE DRIVING. ALL 4 BRAKE LININGS WERE WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED VERY EARLY. MAINLY PERFORM LOCAL DRIVING. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE WARNING THAT BRAKES WERE WEARING PREMATURELY.

FRONT END SPRING BROKE AND POPPING SOUND IN FRONT END REAR ENDS AXLES SHIFTING THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CAUSE THROTTLE TO RACE AND NOT DROP DOWN. FRONT TIRE WEAR.

BRAKES HAD OR HAVE A PROBLEM, BRAKES FREEZE AND IT IS LIKE PUTTING YOU FOOT ON A BOARD WITH NO GIVE.

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL CAME OFF OF VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE WENT ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER.*AK

THERE IS AN OVERALL PROBLEM WITH THE S80 CARS. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER ON MANY OCCASIONS FOR OTHER REPAIRS SUCH AS THE ROOF TOP COVER, BRAKE LIGHTS...BECAUSE OF THE BALL JOINTS AND THE ON AND OFF HUMING NOISE, I AM UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR BEYOND THE AREA. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. WE ONLY REQUESTED THE OTPIONS OF EITHER CANCELLING THE LEASE OR ANOTHER CAR SINCE MINE IS A LEMON...I WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL WHICH MADE ME WONDER IF THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND OTHERS ARE COMING FORWARD. I FELT THE NEED TO HIGHLIGHT THIS TO THE NTSB TO FOLLOW-UP WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND GET DATA ACCROSS THE COUNTRY.*AK
