What owners report
I took my car in for the 90,000 mile general service at the Volvo dealership. While rotating my tires the tech providing the service noted that the front left suspension fork was broken. The tech and Volvo were unable to provide an explanation for how the damage could have occurred. There was no other notable damage. The tire pressure light was on but that is baseline for my car (the tire pressure gauge is sensitive and usually turns on as soon as I adjust the tire pressure). I provided a picture of the suspension fork to a friend who works in the industry and they recommended reporting it. The part seems to have sheared and given that nothing around it is damaged, I believe and am concerned
I am reporting an ongoing and worsening defect condition involving a Volvo vehicle that has displayed repeated power steering / steering failure warnings and is now also showing additional symptoms consistent with a possible turbo / emissions-related failure. The steering-related warnings have remained active and unresolved over an extended period. The vehicle has displayed dashboard warnings for âPower steeringâ and âPower steering failure,â and the condition has not been reliably corrected despite prior service involvement and an ongoing repurchase dispute with the manufacturer. More recently, the vehicle developed additional failure symptoms consistent with a turbo / wastegate /
Me and my partners safety was put at risk when the vehicleâs high pressure fuel pump went out, shut the car down, and left us stranded in the middle of two lane traffic. What was scarier was how the vehicle couldnât be manually overridden to shift into neutral to push the vehicle to safety away from oncoming traffic, since the gear is electronic. The vehicle isnât that old and that high on mileage, being only at 94k miles. After getting it towed (tow driver had to drag the vehicle up onto the bed because even they couldnât do anything about it) to the dealer, because no one else but Volvo can touch it. This is without the manufacturer giving mechanics privileges to reprogram parts th
THE MAIN DRIVER INFORMATION DISPLAY WENT BLANK WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. IMPORTANT OPERATING INFORMATION SUCH VEHICLE SPEED, TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS, FUEL REMAINING ETC., WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO THE DRIVER. THE CENTER DISPLAY FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM HAS ALSO GONE BLANK TWICE WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE TAILGATE WILL OPEN ALL THE WAY AND A SPLIT-SECOND LATER WILL DROP ABOUT 15 INCHES. BOTH MY WIFE AND HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD BY THE TAILGATE BECAUSE OF THIS.
The brake rotors exceed the manufacturers run out specifications and tolerances. This has been happening vehicles as early as 2018 model year. In my specific case I bought the car with 3600 miles on it as a certified vehicle from a Volvo dealership. On my drive home I could feel the braking pulsation in the steering wheel. The dealership measured the run out and it exceeded the manufacturers specification on all four corners. I then joined a Facebook Volvo owners group and found out there are several members that have had their rotors replaced by the dealer in many cases multiple times because they are either installing a non-conforming brake rotor or the part becomes defective with use wel
