Example complaints

Suspension: “We have been experiencing problems with our vehicle from the beginning. We filed an earlier complaint. We have not heard anything coming from that complaint, but have been in contact with an odi investigator. When traveling down the road, our truck hit a bridge abutment and the cab bottomed out hard on the chassis and the cab swayed aggressively to the point the driver lost control. I was in the back of the vehicle when it bottomed out and felt an intense pain go from my lower back and up through my spine to my head. …”

NHTSA complaint #10747593, filed 2015-08, 79,800 miles

Body and structure: “From receipt of this vehicle, and especially since placed into service, we have complained to Volvo about the ride of the truck. Initially, the cab would bottom out and it swayed excessively from left to right. We consulted with Volvo techs, with regards to what this might be, and were told that they had been seeing this in numerous other Volvo 780's and were unsure the cause or the cure. As time progressed, the problems became worse. It became hard to ride in the cab, as it began to bottom out at the least of road conditions. …”
