Example complaints

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

“One of the nice safety features on this vehicle is the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which detects under-inflated tires. Driving on under-inflated tires can affect a vehicle's handling and stopping ability resulting in a crash. Last week my pregnant wife was driving the car (daughter in the back seat) on a busy highway when all of a sudden the TPMS light came on and stated, tire needs air now. So my wife got off the busy highway and called Volvo roadside service for a tire change, as the left front tire was completely flat. …”

NHTSA complaint #10507205, filed 2013-04, 51,000 miles

“Valve stem locking nut corroded on left front wheel and separated from stem. The stem actually fell inside the wheel causing a blow out. No injuries, but this could have been serious at highway speeds. The defect happened at 45 months, and 51,000 miles. Subsequently all stems and sensors had to be replaced prior to 48 months. Per the tire dealer and grudgingly by Volvo, this is fairly common for that vintage of stem and sensor. …”

“The contact owns a 2009 Volvo S80. While driving at 35 MPH, the TPMS warning light illuminated even though there was pressure in the tires based on the tire and loading information label. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was aware of NHTSA campaign number: 10v335000 (wheels); however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was 22,500.”
