| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | SHORTLY AFTER BUYING MY 2003 VOLVO 70XC I READ THAT BLACK CARS HAVE A TROUBLING HIGHER RATE OF ACCIDENTS. I HAD UNFORTUNATELY PURCHASED A BLACK VOLVO. I NOTICED THAT THERE IS NO CHROME ANYWHERE ON THE BODY, INCLUDING THE REAR. THERE ARE NO SIDE LIGHTS, NO DOOR LIGHTS (MY 1993 HAS DOOR LIGHTS WHEN THE DOOR OPENS TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS THAT THERE IS A DOOR OPEN), NOTHING TO HELP WITH SAFETY ISSUES, YET THEY ADVERTISE AS BEING SUCH A SAFE CAR. HAVING OUTSIDE INDICATORS ON A BLACK CAR IS SAFETY 101. I THINK THAT VOLVO SHOULD BE MADE TO ADD OUTSIDE SAFETY FEATURES TO THIS MODEL. *TR |
| 2010 | WHEELS | I HAD JUST PICKED UP THE CAR FROM THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS THERE FOR TWO WEEKS. I STOPPED FOR GAS AND DID SOME SHOPPING AND AS I WAS ENTERING HIGHWAY THE 'TIRE PRESSURE LOW' WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I THOUGHT IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO WORK THAT WAS DONE IN THE SHOP. I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY AND AS I WAS SPEEDING UP, I NOTICED THE NOISE COMING FROM THE WHEELS, NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A FLAT. THE FLAT WAS DUE TO TPMS VALVE STEM FAILING AND AS I WAS TOLD LATER BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE LOSS OF AIR WAS VERY QUICK AND THE 13 MONTH OLD TIRE WAS DAMAGED AFTER ONLY DRIVING ON LOW PRESSURE FOR LESS THAN A MILE. AS I UNDERSTAND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. AFTER I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED ALL TPMS SENSORS ON THE CAR DUE TO THE VOLVO TSB TJ-24767 DATED DEC 2011 TITLED 'TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM - TPMS SENSOR NUT CORROSION'. MY MAIN COMPLAINT IS THAT VOLVO KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NEITHER THEY TRIED TO REPLACE THE TPMS SENSORS AT A FEW TIMES THE CAR WAS AT THEIR DEALERSHIP, NOR THEY TRIED TO EDUCATE THE CAR OWNERS ABOUT THE POSSIBLE RISKS. AS A RESULT, ONE OF THE TIRES WAS DAMAGED WHICH I HAVE BILLED TO PAY FOR. *TR |
