| 2004 | SUSPENSION:FRONT | 2004 VOLVO XC70 WAGON, 89,000 MILES. FRONT LEFT COIL SPRING BROKE WHILE CAR PARKED IN DRIVEWAY (FINE PREVIOUS EVENING, OBVIOUS CLUNKING SOUND WHEN TURNING OUT OF DRIVEWAY IN MORNING). LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL, CAR NOT DRIVABLE. MECHANIC FOUND SPRING BADLY CORRODED, FRACTURED NEAR BOTTOM OF COILS. VOLVO DEALERSHIP'S PARTS DEPARTMENT INFORMED MECHANIC THEY WERE "STOCKING PLENTY OF SPRINGS." THIS VEHICLE HAD A SIMILAR BREAK IN THE LEFT REAR SPRING 8 WEEKS PREVIOUSLY. CAR IS USED AS COMMUTER VEHICLE AND HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD (4 WHL DRIVE SOLD AS "CROSS COUNTRY") OR USED IN COMMERCIAL SERVICE OR FOR CARRYING HEAVY LOADS. *TR |
| 2003 | AIR BAGS | SERVICE LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING FAILURE IN THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM ON MY 2003 VOLVO CROSS COUNTRY WAGON. DEALER INVESTIGATED AND STATED THE CENTRAL COMPUTER ON THE AUTO HAD FAILED RESULTING IN A $1300 REPAIR. DEALER INDICATED THAT IF COMPUTER WAS NOT REPAIRED, AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT AND PRESENTS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. DEALER INDICATED AUTOMOBILE WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT COMPUTER REPLACEMENT. SINCE WHEN DO CENTRAL SRS COMPUTERS JUST STOP WORKING? I BELIEVE THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED BY VOLVO AND NOT THE CONSUMER AS IT POSES SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES TO THE CONSUMER AND IS A COMPONENT OF THE AUTOMOBILE THAT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE ANY SERVICE. *TR |
