Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Noticed noise, upon turning the cab shifted. Then checked the problem out and noticed. The vehicle was looked at by a Volvo dealer, and the consumer found out that problem occurred because the weld broke on the elbow which holds the cab to the frame. In addition, replaced alternator/adjusted rear air bags.”
