1998 Volvo VN610 Suspension Problems

“Consumer is having problems with head gasket. Other problems are as followed: power steering, the engine stalled due to a loose wire, multiple re-alignments, the u-bolt pops in the front and had broken in the rear, and the steer tire is wearing on the outside.”

“Consumer states vehicle is constantly over weight on the front axle, forcing consumer to travel with less than half of fuel capacity. Truck weighs around 12,000 whem empty or no load. With full fuel, can reach 12,500 to 13,000. Steer tires vibrate and start to deteriorate at about 60,000 miles.”

“Consumer states the lcd graphics display was showing trip miles, mpg, voltmeter, at 98,000 the manufacturer replaced the entire instrument cluster, however at 240,000 consumer had to replace the instrument cluster himself and the manufacturer is offering no solutions.”

“Consumer states vehicle is having problems with the wiring harness under the dash, the on board computer read out has faded out twice, the dash lights keep burning out every three months, the day time running light module keeps failing, also the alternator had to be replaced.”

“Consumer states that truck has a horrendous front end vibration, the truck has received several alignments and balances as well as the steer tires being replaced, however the problem still exists, the tire wear on the front end has gone from 157,000 on the first set to about 50 to 70, adding equal to the front steers has lessened the vibration, consumer also stated there was a screeching sound and was told that that bearings were needed.”
