THROTTLE BODY HAS ONGOING ISSUES WITH NEEDING TO BE CLEANED FREQUENTLY. CAR HAS ROUGH IDLE, SPUTTERS AND JUMPS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AS WELL AS WHEN STATIONARY. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER WHEN IT DOES THIS WHICH COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN DAMAGED.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN WITH CARE FOR 7 YEARS. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT NOR HAS IT HAD OTHER SIGNIFICANT FAILURES. IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS BOTH SPRINGS ON THE REAR OF THE CAR HAVE BROKEN AND THE CAR HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY. WE REPAIRED THE FIRST ONE ($500) AND WERE TOLD THAT THE DEALER (WYNN VOLVO) HAS NEVER SEEN BROKEN SPRINGS UNTIL THIS YEAR. WHEN THE SECOND ONE WENT TODAY ( WHILE IN THE DRIVEWAY) IT NOT ONLY RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE, BUT ALSO ABOUT THE SAFETY OF IT. IF WE HAD BEEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, SERIOUS INJURY AND POTENTIALLY DEATH MAY HAVE OCCURRED. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A RECURRENT THEME WITH VOLVOS DURING THE LAST DECADE. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS INHERENT DANGER THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE AND YET VOLVO CLAIMS THAT IT IS NOT COMMON. I DISAGREE AND WOULD ENCOURAGE AN INVESTIGATION. *TR

THIS CAR IN THE LAST YEAR HAS HAD BOTH REAR COIL SPRINGS BRAKE IN HALF WHILE JUST DRIVING NORMALLY DOWN THE ROAD IT HAS THROWN OFF THE DRIVABILITY OF THE CAR AND OF COURSE YOU DON'T NOTICE IT UNTIL AFTER THE EVENT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TEMPERING OF THE STEEL COILS. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON I93 WHEN I HEAD A LOUD BANG. PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. GOT HOME WITH NO OTHER ISSUES. IN THE MORNING I NOTICED THE CAR LEANING TO THE RIGHT. WENT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND FOUND MY COIL SPRING HAD SNAPPED. NO SIGN OF IMPACT. CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIR. REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME SPRING MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE AND IT FAILED. HOPE THE OTHER SPRING DOES NOT LET GO. *TR
