Example complaints

“I have a minor leak on the steering pump on 2013 Volvo XC60. Went to the Volvo-mississauga dealer today (invoice# 197408) and they said that this is not qualifying as a leak but rather it is a visible sweat from the steering pump. Visible sweat means loosing steering fluid. Steering pump is a safety part of the vehicle and I am concern for my safety. I have pictures to show the leak. I disagree with Volvo-mississauga assessment and opened a defect complain with gov of canada - transport canada office. Complain number # 2016-0077.”
NHTSA complaint #10823747, filed 2016-02, 43,000 miles“The steering wheel trim is separating and leaving sharp metal edges. The cuts I have sustained are minor in nature but the distraction of having blood dripping on the steering wheel while driving is significant. The photo shows a cut from a day ago, but this has happened multiple times.”
