| 2000 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS | IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE LOST TOTAL BRAKING ABILITY 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER IS SIGHTING A BROKEN T-CONNECTOR ON A LOW PRESSURE HOSE AS THE PROBLEM. CONTACTED THE REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. AFTER 3RD TIME, WITHOUT ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE WITH A BRASS T-CONNECTOR, WHICH TO DATE THEY CAN NOT FIND. THEY CONSIDER THE CAR SAFE TO DRIVE SINCE BRAKES WORK CURRENTLY, HOWEVER THEY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING THE LAST 2 TIMES. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE IN PLACES WHERE NO ACCIDENT OCCURED. I DID ROLL THROUGH A TOLL BOOTH, STOP SIGN ON THE FIRST TWO OCCURANCES. DEALER WILL NOT REVEAL IF THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT, PARTS DEFECTS OR SOMETHING SPECIFIC IN THIS AUTOMOBILE. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD BUT VOLVO SEEMS TO NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.*AK |
