Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I received two safety recall notices (march and april) for recall r89978. The door latches can weaken making it difficult to latch the door or worse drive the car believing that the door is securely closed when it's not. In the Volvo recall letter, it states to call the dealer to schedule the repair at no cost. It's almost june and my dealer has not received the parts from Volvo. They have no idea when they'll receive parts from Volvo. This is the only car I have access to and I don't feel safe.”
