NHTSA complaint #10177094, filed 2006-12, 95,000 miles“My driver seat belt just locked up and I am unable to get it to release. All of the housing inside car appears to be cracking. I have had the two front windows repaired over and over again. And now I can't even let my front windows down. I have also paid to have the throttle body repaired. Not to mention how many times I have had to replace the o2 sensors.”
NHTSA complaint #10702125, filed 2015-03“The right front seatbelt retractor locks unexpetdly. This can happen going over a bump, around a corner or on level road. When this happems it usually will not release requiring the seatbelt to be removed, allowed to retract and refastened in order to allow the normal slack and play associated with modern seat belt systems. Volvo has replaced the seatbelt once but this did not resolvr the problem. In a call today to Volvo customer service I was told that the dealer would have to adress this issue and the company could not. The dealer already tried but failed.”
