ABS / TRACTION CONTROL MODULE FAILED WHICH RESULTED IN LOSS OF ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE WITH VOLVOS.

THE REPAIR IS ALSO NOT CHEAP AT APPROX. $650.00. MR

AIR BAGS
MY VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, AND MY 8-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER CLOSED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE CONTACTED VOLVO, AND THEY INSPECTED THE CAR ON SEPT. 5. THEY PROMISED TO GIVE ME A FULL REPORT ALONG WITH A DECISION ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR WITHIN A WEEK. IT'S BEEN ALMOST THREE WEEKS, AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT SUPPLIED THE REPORT OR A DECISION DESPITE SEVERAL PHONE CALLS THAT I HAVE MADE TO THEM. THEY SAY THAT THEY WILL GLADLY PAY FOR THE REPAIR IF IT'S THEIR FAULT, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO PUT ME OFF AND SEEM TO BE LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE NOT TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. NLM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITH THE CAR ON A ROUTINE BASIS. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN OIL LEAKS, GASOLINE LEAKS, AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE AND SEAT BELT FAILURES. THE CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED ALMOST ON A MONTHLY BASIS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF OWNERSHIP. THIS PAST WEEK, IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED THREE TIMES FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS. THE VOLVO DEALERSHIPS HAVE MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS AND WARRANTIES HAVE PAID MOST OF THE COSTS, THE AMOUNT OF TIME THIS CAR HAS SPENT BEING SERVICED IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. EVEN THE VOLVO DEALER HERE IN FLORIDA (PLANTATION VOLVO) SUGGESTED WE RESEARCH THE FLORIDA LEMON LAW. THE LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO US BECAUSE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MASSACHUSETTS. WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE IN GETTING VOLVO'S ATTENTION THAT THIS PARTICULAR CAR HAS MAJOR FLAWS, ESPECIALLY ELECTRICAL.
