Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Twin turbo had to be replaced in february 2008. Not cheap. But ever since then, there has been a lack of power and very sluggish on take off and when trying to pass on the highway. Had the control valve replaced just recently, helped some, but still very sluggish. Think the Volvo dealer here have morons for service tech's.”
