“Water leaking from an unknown place gathering in passenger side floor ! Causing many electrical problems! Vehicle was in idol and cut off will not restart leaving my young daughter and I stranded! While investigating and removing carpet came to realize they were 30 gallons of water under carpet!! Looking into it more online noticed many many many others have expressed this same problem! Why is not an important issue to Volvo to want to fix this problem?? Why wasn't this problem issued for recall???? Does son have to die of physically harmed for their to be a recall for this ongoing problem”
