NHTSA complaint #11144948, filed 2018-11, 59,400 miles“I have serious questions about how a small bump that scraped the front tire, but did not even scrape the exterior of the car could cause the entire rear end suspension and stabilization bar to have to be completely replaced. Are there structural problems with the Volvo xc60s that could cases this? The car wasn't moving more than 10 MPH as it was crossing an intersection from a standstill at a light in a city when the right tire bumped something in the road. It was going straight.”
