| 2000 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | WITH ONLY 80,000 MILES, AFTER 5 YEARS OF DRIVING, THE ENGINE IS WARNING THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SYSTEM' (ETS) FAILED. THE DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP ONLY CAN REPLACE THE ETS MODULE AT A COST OF $1,200. THE REPLACEMENT PART IS ACTUALLY THE SAME AS THE FAILED PART WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET SHOWED THAT THIS PART FAILED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WHEN IT FAILED THE CAR COULD BE DRIVEN IN A LIMP ALONG HOME MODE, WHICH I HAVE HAD TO USE, MAKING OTHER CARS PASS ME WHILE THIS CAR COULD ONLY GO ABOUT 5-10 MPH. THE INTERNET POSTINGS INDICATED THAT NHTSA WAS TRYING TO WORK WITH VOLVO TO EXTEND THE FACTORY WARRANTY OF THIS PART, BUT WITH NO SETTLEMENT YET. LETTING VOLVO TO CONTINUE TO USE KNOWN TROUBLE-PRONE PARTS WHICH SHOULD BE RESOLVED.*AK |
| 2006 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES | JUST GOT OFF WORK AND I WAS ON MY WAY TO PICK UP MY CHILDREN FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE SCHOOLS/DAYCARE. THERE WAS A NINE WHEELER MOVING VERY SLOWLY IN FRONT OF ME SO THE CAR IN MY REAR DECIDED TO OVERTAKE ME TO HIS LEFT AND AS SOON AS HE DID THAT MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR JUST FLUNG OPEN BY ITSELF. THE KNOB ON THE DOOR WAS STILL DOWN(IN LOCK POSITION). I WAS SO TERRIFIED BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING DISENGAGED IN MY CAR AND THE WHOLE DRIVER SIDE DOOR JUST CAME LOOSE. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO CATCH IT RIGHT AWAY OR ELSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL CAUSE SPEED LIMIT WAS 45MPH AND FOLKS WERE GOING 50 OR MORE MPH. BEFORE DRIVING MY CAR THAT DAY, I LOCKED ALL MY DOORS FROM THE INSIDE SO I WAS VERY BAFFLED THAT A DOOR CAN OPEN ITSELF( WITH THE KNOB IN A LOCK POSITION) . I FEEL LIKE THE FORCE OF THE CAR THAT OVERTOOK ME DID SOMETHING TO DISENGAGE MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES COMING OUT FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. BUT I AM STILL NOT SATISFIED! WHAT IF MY KIDS WERE INSIDE THE CAR AND THERE DOOR FLUNG OPEN? I CALLED THE CUSTOMER CARE CONSULTANT FOR THE MAKER OF MY CAR BUT THE LADY I SPOKE WITH WAS SO RUDE BEYOND BELIEF. PLEASE HELP!!! I HAVE DEALT WITH A LOT OF CARS AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN MY WHOLE LIKE. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING ABOUT CARS; WHATEVER HAPPENS TO A CAR WHILE DRIVING IT EVERYDAY DOES NOT ALWAYS SHOW UP ONCE IT GETS TO THE DEALERSHIP. HOPEFULLY MY ORDEAL WILL NOT BE IN VAIN! WHEN THIS OCCURRED MY DRIVER SIDE GLASS WAS ROLLED DOWN A LITTLE BIT. *TR |
