Summary

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AT 75K MILES. OIL CHANGE WAS COMPLETED IN NOVEMBER 2020 BY VOLVO AUTHORIZED DEALER/SERVICE. "NO OIL PRESSURE" WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON ON 3/19/21. CHECKED OIL AND IT WAS NEARLY DRY. ADDED 5 QUARTS OF OIL AND CALLED VOLVO ON 3/22/21 TO REPORT. SCHEDULED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BUT BASED ON WHAT I'VE READ WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH VOLVO AND PISTONS/RINGS GOING BAD. FROM READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS VOLVO MAY NOT BE EASY TO WORK WITH ON THIS. WHY IS THIS NOT ISSUED AS A RECALL?

THEY AGAIN COULD NOT FIND. I WENT IN AND IT DID IT WITH SERVICE MANAGER EXCEPT OTHER SIDE REAR HEADREST.

I TOLD THEM TO REPLACE AS UNDER CERTIFIED WARRANTY.

Summary

ON 7/21/2019, MY 2014 VOLVO S60 (WITH 58,582 MILES) WOULD NOT START. THERE WERE NO ERROR LIGHTS, AND I HAD MY VEHICLE FULLY SERVICED IN APRIL 2019. I HAD ALSO DRIVEN MY CAR THE DAY BEFORE, AND THERE WERE NO ISSUES. I CALLED MY ROADSIDE SERVICE COMPANY AND HAD MY BATTERY CHECKED, BUT THE BATTERY WAS NOT THE ISSUE. I HAD TO TOW MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE FIRST REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT THE 'SERPENTINE BELT FAILED AND WORKED ITS WAY INTO THE TIMING COVER, CAUSING THE TIMING BELT TO BECOME MISALIGNED. THIS CONDITION CAUSED THE VALVES IN THE CYLINDER HEAD TO CONTACT THE PISTONS AND BENT THE VALVES. CAR HAS NO COMPRESSION. WILL REQUIRE CYLINDER HEAD REPLACEMENT.' THIS FACILITY INDICATED THAT I WOULD NEED THE ASSEMBLY HEAD REPLACED ($7,424.03), A/C BELT REPLACED ($57.41), ALTERNATOR BELT REPLACED ($73.81), AND SERPENTINE BELT TENSIONER REPLACED ($131.09). ADDITIONALLY, BASED ON THIS SHOP'S REPORTS, MY VEHICLE'S WARRANTY COMPANY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS. DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF REPAIRS, I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A DIFFERENT SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION. THIS SHOP STATED THAT 'ENGINE HAS NO COMPRESSION. INSPECTED CYLINDER WITH BORESCOPE. VALVE CONTACT MARKS VISIBLE ON TOP OF THE PISTONS. NEEDS INTERNAL ENGINE REPAIRS.' THE SECOND SHOP SAID SIMILAR THINGS AS THE FIRST SHOP. I DECIDED TO TOW MY CAR TO MY FATHER'S SHOP IN TEXAS, WHERE I KNEW I WOULD RECEIVE AN HONEST ASSESSMENT OF WHAT WENT WRONG. MY FATHER DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AFTER TAKING THE ENGINE APART. ONE OF THE LEVERS WAS NO LONGER SECURING THE TIMING BELT, THUS CAUSING THE TIMING BELT AND ALL THE SUBSEQUENT PARTS TO MALFUNCTION. I HAVE INDICATED THE FAILED LEVER IN THIS PICTURE. RATHER THAN REBUILDING THE ENGINE, MY FATHER INSTALLED A NEW ENGINE. HE ALSO REPLACED THE GASKETS AND TIMING KIT. AFTER HE COMPLETED THE REPAIRS, HE SHIPPED THE CAR BACK TO DC, AND IT HAS BEEN DRIVING WELL.

ECO FRIENDLY SOY BASED MATERIALS USED FOR WIRING ATTRACTS RODENTS AND RESULTS IN MODERATE TO SEVERE DAMAGE. HAD MY CAR "EATEN" BY SQUIRRELS TWICE IN 3 MONTHS, THE FIRST TIME THE DAMAGE WAS AROUND $300, THE SECOND $2500! I HAVE NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WONT HAPPEN AGAIN, IN FACT IT LIKELY WILL BECAUSE THE WIRE CASING IS STILL SOY BASED!!!!

Summary

I LEASE A 2014 VOLVO S60. THE VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES, SIZE 235/45-R17-97V. THE DOT # IS AF8P-NIH6. THE ODOMETER HAS 8, 550 MILES. I DRIVE THE VEHICLE VERY CAREFULLY AND CONSERVATIVELY. I HAVE NOT HIT ANY CURBS, CARSTOPS OR POTHOLES. ON JANUARY 7TH I REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT TIRE DUE TO A BUBBLE IN THE SIDEWALL. TODAY I NOTICED A BUBBLE IN THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE TIRE. I BELIEVE THESE BUBBLES ARE DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND NOT BECAUSE I HIT SOMETHING WITH THE TIRES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS COMPLAINT.
