What owners report
2003 VOLVO 660, UNIT 1 STRUCK THE REAR OF UNIT 2. UNIT 1 THEN WENT OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND STRUCK THE GUARDRAIL. *BF ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT, UNIT 1 WAS TRAVELING TO CLOSELY BEHIND THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF HIM. (OHIO TRAFFIC REPORT # 10-0467-90) *JB UPDATED 09/13/10*BF
HOOD SHOCKS ON VOLVO TRUCKS ARE COMING OFF AT HOOD CONECTION SIDE. WHEN PULLING HOOD OPEN IF BOTH SHOCKS ARE LOSE HOOD CAN COME OVER ON DRIVER, CAUSING DRIVER POSSIBLE INJURIES. *AK
THE BEARINGS IN THE INTEGRAL HUB/BEARING ON THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL (STEERING AXLE) FAILED AT 247,000 MILES. THIS IS A UNIT DESIGNED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, AND THERE IS NO MAINTENANCE POSSIBLE. THIS WAS A VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR SUCH A FAILURE. NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES WERE CAUSED BY THE FAILURE BECAUSE IT WAS NOTICED BEFORE THAT COULD HAPPEN, BUT SUCH A FAILURE COULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. WE PAID APPROXIMATELY $625 FOR PARTS, LABOR, AND SHIPPING FOR A NEW PART. THE DEALERSHIP REMOVED AN IDENTICAL HUB FROM A NEW TRUCK ON THE LOT AND REPLACED OUR HUB. I DOUBT THEY KEPT THE OLD HUB, ALTHOUGH THEY MIGHT HAVE. THIS WAS AT THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP IN VINTON, TX, I-10 EXIT 2 IN
