These generation of Volvo p3 platform cars had a defective windshield seal that was not the best from the factory. Many cars of this generation (S60, S80, XC90, etc) have had the seals break, causing extreme water leakage as mine has had. And the possibility of the windshield falling out. Mine is bad enough that pushing it lightly from the inside to create a significant gap in the window and the frame of the A pillar. There are many forums and reports of this exact problem and Volvo has yet to voluntarily recall these cars. Many people have reported it to many dealers, but all say they cant replace them. This problem definitely puts the driver and other people in the cabin in danger. And no warning lights go off in relation to the problem. I appreciate your consideration.

Warning light on dashboard indicated right front headlamp out. Repair shop removed and replaced original component with new component. Internal inspection of light assembly revealed missing insulation(photos attached) on wiring harness causing a short circuit which also ruined the headlight igniter and control module. Shop stated that this issue is NOT uncommon with Volvo lighting systems. The current concern is the same condition is present in the left(driver) headlight and could cause a short and fire within the headlight assembly. Correspondence with Volvo resulted in no resolution of the issue and lack of concern for the reliability of installed components or possible safety concern for their product.

EXCESSIVE RUST IS FORMING ON MY FRONT SUBFRAME AND IN SOME PLACES HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. SMALL PERFERATIONS WERE NOTICED AT REPAIR FACILITY AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT CANNOT BE WELDED/REPAIRED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2007-2010 VOLVO S80 V8 WHICH VOLVO REFUSES TO RECALL AND WILL BE AN EXTREMELY COSTLY REPAIR. IT ALSO MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE SHOULD THE REPAIR NOT BE MADE.

EXCESSIVE RUST IS FORMING ON MY FRONT SUBFRAME AND IN SOME PLACES HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. I HAVE A SILVER DOLLAR SIZED HOLE THROUGH IT AND IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2007-2010 VOLVO S80 V8 WHICH VOLVO REFUSES TO RECALL AND WILL BE AN EXTREMELY COSTLY REPAIR. IT ALSO MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I COULD ALSO NOT PASS INSPECTION IN PA FOR THIS KIND OF DAMAGE.

SEVERE SUBFRAME RUST DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST ON THE V8 MODELS OF THE VOLVO S80S ONLY. DEALER SAID THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WILL MELT THE PAINT OFF, CAUSING RUST TO ATTRACT TO THE SUBFRAME. THE SUBFRAME IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT TO THE CAR, UNFORTUNATELY ALTHOUGH VOLVO HAS SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE V8 MODELS, THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE MY VEHICLE HAS RUST, AND THE CAR IS UNDERCOATED YEARLY.

THE FRONT SUBFRAME OF MY VEHICLE WAS FOUND TO BE UNSAFE BY THE VOLVO DEALER IN MY AREA. CORROSION HAD GREATLY DETERIORATED PARTS OF THE FRAME WHICH SUPPORTS THE FRONT SUSPENSION, STEERING AND ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THAT REPLACEMENT WAS THE ONLY OPTION TO AVOID A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. CLOSE EXAMINATION REVEALED SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE SUBFRAME. VOLVO SERVICE STAFF TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL S80 V8.

DRIVER DOOR LOCK AND LATCH MECHANISM SEEMS TO GLITCH OUT, LEAVING DOOR IMPOSSIBLE TOCLOSE . IT TENDS TO REACTIVATE AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES WITH THE DOOR OPEN WARNING LIGHT ON. WEATHER DOESNT SEEM TO EFFECT IT LIKE FROZEN LOCKS. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED ON RANDOMLY EVEN ON 50 DEGREE DAYS. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON THE VOLVO FORUMS.

WINDSHIELD LEAK. AFTER A RECENT RAIN STORM (APRIL 2017), THE PASSENGER SIDE CARPETING WAS SOAKED. TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL VOLVO DEALERSHIP AND THEY VERIFIED THE WINDSHIELD SEAL WAS LEAKING (UNSOUND) AT THE TOP. THEY REFERRED ME TO A LOCAL AUTO GLASS COMPANY WHO TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ON SEVERAL VOLVO'S WHERE THE SEAL WAS NOT PROPERLY BONDED AT THE FACTORY. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR RECALLS, BULLETINS,ETC. BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THIS DEFECT. IF IN FACT IT IS A FACTORY DEFICIENCY I BELIEVE I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE WINDSHIELD.
