Hello, I currently drive a 2016 Volvo V60 Cross Country which falls under the year of recalled vehicles related to the piston ring issue outlined in the Buchanan, et al. v. Volvo Car USA, LLC, et al., Case No. 2:22-cv-02227. According to the suit Volvo is supposed to replace my oil piston rings if it falls under warranty which is under 100k miles. For Volvo to confirm if my vehicle was impacted they performed an oil consumption test back in March of 2023 in which my vehicle failed meaning the rings still needed to be replaced. Three years later and Volvo Cars Tacoma has still refused to replace the piston rings after multiple follow up attempts. I have also reached out to other Volvo dealer

Currently on going, second time around with high oil consumption problems. Dealer is saying warranty is holding up repairs, warranty points finger at dealership, and Volvo refuses to address the massive safety problem with oil consumption cars by refusing to fix. I will never buy another Volvo, and strongly recommend anyone considering a Volvo to think about how they’re treating current customers with the known oil consumption problem (horribly).

After piston rings were replaced 1 year ago, engine continues to burn too much oil. 4 quarts after 1800 miles.

Power steering cuts out intermittently. When I took the Volvo in for a recall (seatbelt Sept 5, 2024) I mentioned to Volvo that this was happening. I was told not to worry about it unless it was more consistent. After that it cut out for about a week. I took it in to my mechanic for a diagnostic, but it had started working again. I was told by the mechanic to save my money for a diagnostic and wait until the problem manifested itself again and park the car and call him. It was gifted t me by my son-in-law but I am afraid to drive it. But, unless I drive it the problem won't manifest.

On [XXX], I was traveling back from North Carolina to Columbia Sc. While driving, I had my cruise control on ~78 mph and had a 4 foot Christmas tree on the top of my car. Suddenly, my car jolted and the car began to run funny. Almost run like there was sand. An alert also popped up on the dashboard that said something to the extent of “downshift or reduce speed” I was low on fuel and luckily the next exit was right there. I also scheduled an appointment with my local Volvo dealership as my car is under an extended warranty. I took my car to the dealership and at first they said it was total engine failure. But have since revised that after Volvo inspected it. Now they are reporting only
