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“During the spring of 2013, my 2009 cpo Volvo S80 experienced two flat tires within one week due to faulty hex nuts (I.e., hex nuts broke off causing sudden loss of air pressure) that hold the tire valve stem to the wheel (Volvo incident #130404-000103). Volvo recognized the problem by replacing the tire and all fours hex nuts as a third hex nut was visibly cracked and the next likely culprit of a future flat tire. However, on july 25, 2015 almost two years later, I found myself once again driving on the interstate, when the TPMS light came on again stating, tire needs air now. …”
NHTSA complaint #10743723, filed 2015-07, 50,000 miles“Aluminum nuts on the valve stems completely disintegrate and fall apart causing tires to go flat while driving. This happened on two occasions (two tires) while driving down the highway. Luckily we were able to get off the road quickly without incident. All 4 valve stems were inspected”
NHTSA complaint #10980879, filed 2017-04, 70,000 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. …”
