WAS TRAVELING 70MPH IN 1998, VOLVO, 1998 WHEN LEFT FRONT WHEEL STARTED TO COME OFF. HAD HEARD NOISES PRIOR, AND THEN NOTICED SMOKE. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD , AND SAW FLAMES COMING FROM WHEEL AREA. EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. *AK
TURBO RETURN LINE UNSEALED AND LEAKING OIL. DEALER WANTED TO REPLACE ENTIRE TURBO; SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO A CAR, ESP. A VOLVO, THAT'S ONLY THREE YEARS OLD WITH 56K MILES ON IT. DEALER DID A TEMPORARY FIX BUT EVENTUALLY WILL AHVE TO REPLACE TURBO WAY BEFORE ITS TIME TO DO SO.
THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AT 4000 MILES AND WERE REPLACED AND NEW DISCS WERE INSTALLED. AT 20000 MILES THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THE LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME THAT VOLVO IS REPLACING THE REAR BRAKING SYSTEM ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH EVERYONE . THANKS. *AK
