I am reporting an ongoing and worsening defect condition involving a Volvo vehicle that has displayed repeated power steering / steering failure warnings and is now also showing additional symptoms consistent with a possible turbo / emissions-related failure. The steering-related warnings have remained active and unresolved over an extended period. The vehicle has displayed dashboard warnings for “Power steering” and “Power steering failure,” and the condition has not been reliably corrected despite prior service involvement and an ongoing repurchase dispute with the manufacturer. More recently, the vehicle developed additional failure symptoms consistent with a turbo / wastegate / emissions-related problem, which appears to be worsening. This is in addition to the pre-existing steering-related warnings and drivability concerns. I am filing this complaint because the manufacturer, Volvo Car USA, and its administrator, Sedgwick, closed the repurchase claim while these safety-related issues remained unresolved. I explicitly stated in writing that I had not declined the repurchase and remained willing to proceed once material questions were answered, but the file was closed anyway. This complaint is being submitted to document that the vehicle continues to present unresolved and worsening defect conditions, including steering-related warnings and additional drivability / emissions-related issues, despite the manufacturer’s closure of the repurchase process.

Me and my partners safety was put at risk when the vehicle’s high pressure fuel pump went out, shut the car down, and left us stranded in the middle of two lane traffic. What was scarier was how the vehicle couldn’t be manually overridden to shift into neutral to push the vehicle to safety away from oncoming traffic, since the gear is electronic. The vehicle isn’t that old and that high on mileage, being only at 94k miles. After getting it towed (tow driver had to drag the vehicle up onto the bed because even they couldn’t do anything about it) to the dealer, because no one else but Volvo can touch it. This is without the manufacturer giving mechanics privileges to reprogram parts that needed to be replaced. On top of that, since there isn’t a dealer in my area around Columbia, MO, it had to be towed all the way to St. Louis, which was already bizarre as it is. After getting it repaired and the techs saying everything was good to go, it hasn’t been a week before something else happened. Upon trying to start the car today, the dash throws a number of warnings again. Upon seeing the warnings, I pulled out my scan tool and now tells me the low pressure fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, and abs pump go out and I’m already frustrated and back into a situation with a vehicle that is already expensive as it is. Luckily everything popped up at home, because the vehicle throws itself into limp/bricked mode to where it won’t even start the engine. And because it’s a plug in hybrid, it was able to at least get the system going to read what’s going on compared to what was stated earlier when the battery was already depleted. Now I have to find a way to transport this vehicle again and I’m already having regrets of purchasing it in the first place. I just wanted a hybrid wagon that has all the cargo and efficiency without being an suv.

THE MAIN DRIVER INFORMATION DISPLAY WENT BLANK WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. IMPORTANT OPERATING INFORMATION SUCH VEHICLE SPEED, TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS, FUEL REMAINING ETC., WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO THE DRIVER. THE CENTER DISPLAY FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM HAS ALSO GONE BLANK TWICE WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE TAILGATE WILL OPEN ALL THE WAY AND A SPLIT-SECOND LATER WILL DROP ABOUT 15 INCHES. BOTH MY WIFE AND HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD BY THE TAILGATE BECAUSE OF THIS.
The brake rotors exceed the manufacturers run out specifications and tolerances. This has been happening vehicles as early as 2018 model year. In my specific case I bought the car with 3600 miles on it as a certified vehicle from a Volvo dealership. On my drive home I could feel the braking pulsation in the steering wheel. The dealership measured the run out and it exceeded the manufacturers specification on all four corners. I then joined a Facebook Volvo owners group and found out there are several members that have had their rotors replaced by the dealer in many cases multiple times because they are either installing a non-conforming brake rotor or the part becomes defective with use well within the warranty period. If the vibration caused by the rotor run out continues to increase without mitigation it may cause the brake pads to deteriorate at a high rate reducing stopping distance or cause the vehicle to swerve.
WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 60 DEGREES I RECEIVE A "BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTION" NOTICE AND WHEN LOOKING AT THE BRAKE LIGHTS THE 3RD CHSML SEEMS TO BE DIMMER THEN NORMAL. ONLY HAPPENS AT LOWER TEMPERATURES. THIS HAPPENS WHEN FIRST STARTED.
