Example complaints

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

“Volvo C70 - 2002 -- leaks power-steering fluid so fast I cannot drive the car. I have had it towed to the Volvo dealer three times for the same problem and it still has not been fixed. It is undriveable. The Volvo company refuses to give me any assistance as far as repurchasing the car. The dealer that has worked on it had not given Volvo headquarters the reasons for the car being in their shop.”
