STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE
INAPPROPRIATE PLACEMENT OF THE TAILGATE HANDLE CAUSE ME TO PULL THE TAILGATE DOWN ONTO MY FACE CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO MY NOSE. 21 STITCHES TO CLOSE THE WOUND WITH SCARRING. I BELIEVE THIS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED HAD VOLVO PLACED THE TAILGATE HANDLE ON THE EDGE OF THE TAILGATE INSTEAD OF INSIDE THE TAILGATE. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE REMEDIED SO THAT OTHERS DO NOT SUFFER AS I DID.

#716056December 14, 1999
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
THIS CAR HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. HEADLIGHT, TAILLIGHT, TURN SIGNALS...ALL HAVE BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE STEREO AND BATTERY HAVE ALSO BEEN REPLACED. BOTH THE DRIVERS WINDOW AND THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THEM TO "STICK" IN THE POSITION THAT THEY ARE IN. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED MOST OF THE BULBS AT NO CHARGE. I HAVE HAD 2 REPLACED WHILE ON VACATION AT VARIOUS TIMES. I CAN NOT THINK OF ANYTHING OTHER THEN THE TIRES, THAT IS NOT GOVERNED BY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE. WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A CONCERN TO ME. VOLVO AS A MANUFACTURER HAS PROMISED A FULL SYSTEM CHECK TWO TIMES. IT NEVER HAPPENED. AT THIS POINT, I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD TRUST THE CAR EVEN IF IT DID CHECK OUT OK. *AK
