Example complaints

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

“Fyi: Volvo has a silent recall/ replacement of seat bottoms when your seat heater has malfunctioned and burned a hole through your seat. A hole magically appeared in my seat bottom and fortunately didn't burn me. Volvo replaced the entire seat bottom unit with a new seat bottom for free at 188,000 miles!”
