| 1999 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT | AS YOU CAN SEE, I HAVE REPEATEDLY HAD HEADLIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS BURN OUT ON A BRAND NEW CAR. THE PERSONNEL AT THE DEALERSHIP HAVE REPEATEDLY ADVISED ME THAT VOLVO KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE V70'S BECAUSE THE SOCKET AND THE LIGHTBULBS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE. I HAVE WRITTEN TO VOLVO ASKING FOR REPLACEMENT OF ALL OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS AND NEVER RECIEVED ANY RESPONSE. THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO DO THAT UNDER ITS GOODWILL WARRANTY. THIS WAS DONE ON 4/19/2000. IT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM AS ANOTHER SIGNAL LIGHT HAS JUST GONE OUT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT VOLVO, WHICH IS PERFECTLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS SO THE THEIR OWNERS DON'T HAVE TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY MONTH TO REPLACE A LIGHTBULB. |
| 2010 | WHEELS | SAFETY ISSUE WITH TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS). SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR IN TIRE AT HIGH SPEED. PRESSURE MONITORING VALVE HAD DISINTEGRATED AND FALLEN INTO TIRE, WE LEARNED, CAUSING IMMEDIATE FLAT TIRE. CORROSION, WE WERE TOLD. CAR HAD LESS THAN 41,000 MILES ON IT, AND HAD BEEN MAINTAINED AT PRESCRIBED INTERVALS, AND WE WERE NOT WARNED THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD OCCUR. WE NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. |
