Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On a large number of volvos the ABS computer fails resulting in loss of proper braking. Normal use causes this, in this all to common failure, and Volvo is aware of their short comings in this problem, thus far refusing to correct a highly dangerous condition that may have already resulted in injury and death. The replacement computers from Volvo are of the same lack of reliability. This has been a major problem for years and certainly represents a serious failure in a critical system to the automobile. …”
