2015 Volvo S60

BOUGHT USED VOLVO ONLY HAD 66,000 MILES ON IT 1ST SHIFTER STUCK IN PARK, THERE APPARENTLY IS A SLOT IN BEHIND SHIFTER IN THE CUBBY TO STICK KEY IN AND MANUALLY UNLOCK SHIFTER, 2ND SERIOUS WABBLE AT 50+ MPH WAS TOLD BY VOLVO IT WAS WASHER SYSTEM NEEDED IN ALL WHEEL DRIVE, THE WAS NOT THE ISSUE NEEDED DRIVERS AXEL. ONLY 1 MONTH AFTER REPLACING FRONT DRIVERS AXEL I ALREADY HEAR THE TELL TAIL CLICKING OF AXEL BEARING GONE BAD ON A NEW 750.00 AXEL, 3RD FOG / RUNNING LIGHT ON BUMPER FLICKERS OVER BUMPS. 4TH HAD THE REPLACE BEARINGS ON STRUTS ALL UNDER 70,000 MILES ON THE CAR NOT IMPRESSED VOLVO

I WAS SOLD THIS CAR BY VOLVO OF NORTH MIAMI ON 4/11/18. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR FOR SERVICE ON 4/13 DUE TO OTHER REPAIRS THEY DID NOT TAKE CARE OF UNDER WARRANTY TO GUNTHER VOLVO , DELRAY BEACH , FLORIDA. I WAS TOLD I SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO DRIVE THE CAR OFF THE LOT DUE TO THE CONDITION OF THE TIRES THAT WERE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND AFFECTED OTHERS. I WAS TOLD BY RICKY MENENDEZ WHO SOLD THE CAR THAT ALL THERE CARS ARE INSPECTED THOROUGHLY BEFORE BEING SOLD.

WE PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW FROM THE DEALER AND ITS GREAT. HOWEVER, AS I HAND WASH ALL OF OUR CARS, I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THAT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL ALWAYS HAS AN UNUSUAL DISCOLORATION, A MIX OF SOME KIND OF FLUID WITH THE BRAKE DUST. THE OTHER 3 WHEELS EXHIBIT ONLY THE USUAL BRAKE DUST; BUT ON THE RIGHT FRONT THIS MIX OF FLUID AND DUST DOESN'T JUST WASH OFF. ROTATE WHEELS, THE NEW WHEEL ON THE RIGHT FRONT EXHIBITS THE SAME DISCOLORATION. THE DEALER INSISTS IT IS ONLY BRAKE DUST. NOW, 2 YEARS ON, MOST OF WHATEVER FLUID WAS SECRETING TO THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SEEMS TO BE GONE BUT, AFTER RETRIEVING THE CAR FROM ITS 20K SERVICE, I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE A RUMBLE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT. SOUNDS LIKE A WHEEL BEARING TO ME (IN MY DAY, I'VE REPLACED EM). THE DEALER SAYS ITS THE TIRES; CONTINUES TO SAY THAT THE DISCOLORATION ON ONLY THE RIGHT FRONT, IS BRAKE DUST. EVEN SAID IT MIGHT BE RUST FROM THE DISC BRAKES. OK, FINE, THEN WHY NONE ON THE FRONT LEFT? OR EITHER OF THE REARS? WHY ONLY THE RIGHT FRONT. I HAVE TAKEN SWABS OF ALL 4 WHEELS AND HAVE THEM IN SEPARATE LABELED ZIP LOCK BAGS IF ANYONE WANTS TO RUN THEM THROUGH A SPECTROMETER. I'VE NEVER REPORTED ANYTHING TO THE NHTSA BEFORE BUT, IN LIGHT OF THEIR INSISTENCE THAT IT IS ONLY BRAKE DUST ... WELL, I'VE REBUILT MY SHARE OF BRAKE SYSTEMS, WORKED ON A RACE TEAM ETC., AND I'M FINDING THIS ALL A BIT INSULTING IF NOT DISMISSIVE. THIS CAR IS PRIMARILY USED AS MY WIFE'S DAILY COMMUTER (30 MILES ROUND TRIP) IN THE SUBURBS WITH AN OCCASIONAL ROAD TRIP ON THE BOOKS. *BF*JB 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB
