2010 Volvo XC60

WATER COLLECTS IN THE DRIVER SIDE FOOTWELL AFTER EVERY RAIN. WHILE DRIVING DURING RAINS, WATER LEAKS FROM (1) DRIVER SIDE TOP LEFT CORNER (2) "A" PILLAR AND (3) LOWER LEFT CORNER OF DASHBOARD AT EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASE. TOOK XC60 TO LOCAL VOLVO DEALER WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WAS PULLED AND RESET. FRONT FLOOR CARPETS WERE PULLED, FAN-DRIED AND REINSTALLED. VOLVO WAIVED THE CHARGE FOR WINDSHIELD REINSTALL, BUT WOULD NOT WAIVE CHARGES FOR CARPET SERVICES. THIS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM EARLIER, REQUIRING A WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLVO XC60. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS LEAKAGE COMING FROM THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS AN ADHESIVE BONDING FAILURE WITH THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT CONTACTED BILL GRAY VOLVO CARS (2897 WASHINGTON RD, MCMURRAY, PA 15317, (724) 949-1555) AND WAS INFORMED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

MY CUSTOMER WAS HEADED NORTHBOUND ON HWY 63, HAD JUST PASSED OVER I-70 WHEN THE CUSTOMER HEARD A POOF AND SMOKE STARTED BELLOWING FROM THE HOOD AND THE TAILPIPE. THEY PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY, BUT BY THEN SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE VENTS AS WELL. THEY GOT OUT OF THE CAR, AND CALLED 911 BECAUSE OF SMOKE STARTED TO THICKEN. ABOUT ONE MINUTE LATER, FLAMES STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE RIGHT (PASS) SIDE OF THE CAR AND WITHIN 25-30 SECONDS, FLAMES WERE COMING FROM UP UNDER THE HOOD AS WELL. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT THERE AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM THERE. THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. IT PASSED INSPECTION AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED OR WHAT WENT WRONG. WE DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE WAS A RECALL NUMBER 09V477000; FUEL SYSTEM. THIS RECALL WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY VOLVO. WE CONTACTED VOLVO AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. HOWEVER, IN CARFAX THERE IS NO RECORD OF THE RECALL OR THAT THE RECALL WAS FIXED. *TR

DURING HOT WEATHER, THE BACKUP CAMERA BECOMES INOPERABLE AND MAY JUST SHOW A BLUE SCREEN WITH A DISCONNECT SYMBOL, A BLACK SCREEN OR FLICKER VISUAL IMAGE. I LIVE IN SC AND IT GOES OUT OFTEN. THEY HAVE A REPAIR PART (CALLED AN EQUALIZER)AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT CUSTOMER'S EXPENSE. IT IS OVER 200.00 TO CORRECT A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. VOLVO SHOULD ISSUE RECALL OR REIMBURSE REPAIR EXPENSE. *TR

THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST VOLVO FOR BOTH THESE PROBLEMS AND I WAS AFFECTED BY BOTH THIS MONTH. 1. WINDSHIELD FOR VOLVO XC60 IS KNOWN FOR A FAILURE OF BONDING ALONG THE TOP EDGE. WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THE SERVICE GUYS WERE ABLE TO JUST PUSH THE WINDSHIELD UPWARDS AND OUT WITH THEIR BARE HANDS TO SHOW ME THAT THERE IS A HUGE GAP ALONG THE TOP EDGE. THIS HAPPENED TO MY CAR IN THE PAST 1 MONTH AND ENDED IN A $420 REPAIR THAT INVOLVED POPPING THE WHOLE THING OFF AND RESEALING IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE WATER DRIPS ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND ELECTRONICS, WHICH IS DISTRACTING FOR THE DRIVER, BUT ALSO OBVIOUSLY A HUGE THREAT TO THE CAR'S ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. 2. IN THE SAME MONTH, THE CAR JUST FAILED COMPLETELY, FLASHING ALL SORTS OF DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND DEMANDING TO BE PUT INTO PARK WHEN IT WAS ALREADY IN PARK. IT SAID BRAKES AND SRS AIRBAGS WERE FAILING. THE WHOLE SYSTEM WENT BLACK AND THE FOB WAS STUCK IN THE CONSOLE. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY SAID THE CULPRIT WAS THE RDAR SOFTWARE, WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE SATELLITE RADIO. IT CAUSES A PARASITIC DRAW THAT KEEPS SEARCHES FOR A SIGNAL EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. THEY WILL CHARGE EVERYONE HUNDREDS TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE (NOT INCLUDED IN THE FREE SOFTWARE UPDATE VOLVO BOASTS ABOUT), AND SOMETIMES MORE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY, PLUS LABOR, OR MAYBE QUOTE THOUSANDS TO TRY TO DISABLE THE SATELLITE RADIO COMPLETELY, WHICH IS HARD OR IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE IT'S INTEGRATED INTO THE REST OF THE ELECTRONICS. LUCKILY MINE WAS PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS NEEDS EXPLANATION FOR WHY IT'S DANGEROUS IF THE CAR JUST RANDOMLY DRAINS OF BATTERY WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING DUE TO A FAULTY SATELLITE RADIO SYSTEM THAT VOLVO + DEALERSHIPS WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT AND CHARGE CUSTOMERS HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS VERY WELL DOCUMENTED. DISGUSTING AND IMMORAL.
