Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My brakes were making a weird squeaking noise in front. I took to orange county Volvo dealer twice, both times was told nothing was wrong. Two weeks later, I experienced complete brake failure,without warning and the only way to stop was to hit the car in front of me. No warning lights illuminated, there were no other warnings prior to complete brake failure. I called my dealer who denied any problems. I had it towed to another dealer (power Volvo)who identified the problem as a complete brake booster failure. …”
