“The front seats have broken three times. The band that keeps the backs in position either fails and the seat will not return to a previous position or it slips and fails to adjest the seats. This was fixed and paid for twice. Now within 15 months it has failed again and smythe Volvo will only offer a 10% reduction in the cost. This should last monger then 15 months. I would like to know if anyone else has had this problem. We weigh 124 and 145 respectively. We haven't adjusted the seats very often. Would like to know how common this problem is. Volvo says it is not common. …”

“Phoned dealership twice and informed them that I had discovered a crack in my cars radiator overflow cap, and also needed to come in for service. My car engine burned up and froze on the way up to the dealership. Appearantly the cap it is not a covered item in my extended warranty. Damage caused by a none covered part is also not applicable. The dealership made no attempt to warn me of a possible overheat from driving my car to them. They want to charge me $11,000 to replace engine and burnt componants. I saw no warning lights prior to engine freeze.”
