I BOUGHT A COMMERCIAL VOLVO TRUCK VT880 IN FEBRUARY 2006 AND SINCE THAN I'VE BEEN IN SERVICES 27 TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF 17 WEEKS AND FOR THIS MATTER I AM IN A VERY BAD FINANCIAL SITUATION,THE MATTER OF FACT I'M THINKING TO DECLARE BANKRUPTCY AND I WANT TO HOLD VOLVO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BAD TRUCK THAT THEY DELIVER TO ME AND FOR MY FINANCIAL SITUATION. I CONTACT A LEMON LAW LAWYER IN FEBRUARY THIS YEAR AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT VOLVO IS REFUSING TO HELP US WITH THE TENS OF THOUSAND OF DOLLARS THAT I LOST BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS IN SERVICES SO MANY TIMES. I'M STILL USING THIS TRUCK BUT TO THIS DAY I AM ON AND OFF SERVICES. I MADE SO MANY COMPLAINS WITH THE VOLVO ACTION BUT NOBODY CALL ME BACK ,I TRIED TO CONTACT SOMEBODY FROM THE VOLVO HEADQUARTERS BUT EVERYBODY IGNORE ME. I'M AFRAID THE TRUCK IT WILL BE DOWN AGAIN SOON AND I CAN'T MANAGE ANYMORE. THE ONLY HOPE THAT I HAD IT WAS THE LAWYER ,BUT HE DECIDED TO NO LONGER REPRESENT ME. *TR
