2013 Volvo S60

I RECENTLY HAD A RECALL ON A VOLVO FOR DOOR LATCHES. WHEN LOOKING AT OTHER RECALLS, I FOUND THAT THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE, INDICATING LOW OIL PRESSURE, WAS A RECALL ON A PRIOR YEAR, SAME MAKE AND MODEL. I DID FURTHER RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR HAD A POSSIBLE RECALL OF THE WRONG DATE OF MANUFACTURE. I WAS ASSURED BY VOLVO THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED; HOWEVER, IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, WAS THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, SAYS IT WAS MADE IN THE SAME CITY, AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TITLE ALONG WITH GETTING AN ORIGINAL DATE OF SELL FOR THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT FROM A BUY HERE, PAY HERE PLACE, AND IT HAD AN YELLOW X ON THE INSIDE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I THINK IT WAS AFFECTED BY THE PRIOR RECALL AND THAT I CAN NOT GET ALL THE NEEDED RECALLS BECAUSE THE PRIOR MISPRINT OF THE YEAR WAS NEVER CORRECTED BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO THE DEALER.

I RECEIVED TWO SAFETY RECALL NOTICES (MARCH AND APRIL) FOR RECALL R89978. "THE DOOR LATCHES CAN WEAKEN MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO LATCH THE DOOR OR WORSE DRIVE THE CAR BELIEVING THAT THE DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED WHEN IT'S NOT." IN THE VOLVO RECALL LETTER, IT STATES TO CALL THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR AT NO COST. IT'S ALMOST JUNE AND MY DEALER HAS NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS FROM VOLVO. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY'LL RECEIVE PARTS FROM VOLVO. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE ACCESS TO AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE. *TR

THE VEHICLE SHIFTS ERRATICALLY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITH FREQUENT SURGES AND JOLTS AT LOW GEARS. THIS ALSO OCCURS AT HIGHER TEMPERATURES (AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE ON HOT DAYS) AND DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON HOT DAYS. TRANSMISSION ENGAGES SLOWLY AFTER A FULL STOP AND OFTEN WITH A JERK, ESPECIALLY FELT WHEN STOPPED AT AN INCLINE. ALL OF THESE JERKS AND JOLTS OCCUR AROUND GEARS 1 OR 2 AND DURING STOPPING OR STARTING FROM STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLVO S60. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE HE WAS UNABLE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS OR LOCK THE DOORS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (VOLVO CARS RICHMOND 7211 W BROAD ST, RICHMOND, VA 23294), TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE VEHICLE HAD SEVERE RUST AND CORROSION WHICH CAUSED THE WIRING TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE WAS REPAIRED THE VEHICLE STILL EXPERIENCED A FAILURE WITH THE REMOTE ACCESS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V849000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE CAR HAS BEEN HAVING AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. TRYING TO STAY AHEAD OF IT, I WAS CHANGING THE OIL EVERY 5K WITH FULL SYNTHETIC. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING, I RECEIVED A MESSAGE "REDUCE SPEED OR SHIFT UP", AND A BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ULTIMATELY DUE TO THE HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION I HAD A BENT VALUE AND NO COMPRESSION OUT OF THE 4TH CYLINDER. VOLVO DID NOT ASSIST IN THE REPAIRS OR ACKNOWLEDGE ANY MANUFACTURING ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS NOT REGULARLY SERVICED BY A CERTIFIED VOLVO DEALERSHIP AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED 3 MONTHS EARLIER.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I DID NOTICE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT LOCK PROPERLY (CAR DOES NOT BEEP WHEN LOCKING AS USUAL). IN ORDER FOR THE DOOR TO LOCK PROPERLY, THE DRIVER'S DOOR NEEDS TO BE CLOSED MUCH HARDER THAN USUAL, TECHNICALLY SLAMMED SHUT. IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE DOOR, I NEED TO EITHER USE THE MANUAL KEY OR ENTER THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR, PROPPING OPEN THE DOOR THAT WAY. THIS IS CAUSING A SAFETY/SECURITY CONCERN, AS I NEED THE VEHICLE TO BE LOCKED AT ALL TIMES.

CAR IS BURNING OIL. NO OIL LEAKS DETECTED VIA MECHANIC OR LOSS ON THE GROUND. HAVE TO PUT MULTIPLE QUARTS OF OIL PER MONTH. THE "CHECK OIL PRESSURE" ILLUMINATES TYPICALLY WHEN MAKING A TURN WHICH IS EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE, JUST GOOGLE IT. THEY ARE WELL AWARE THAT THESE CARS WERE INCORRECTLY RATED WITH THE AMOUNT OF OIL INITIALLY. VOLVO HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION EVEN THOUGH IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM.
