| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In the last 6 months i have lost total braking ability 3 times while driving. the dealer is sighting a broken t-connector on a low pressure hose as the problem. contacted the regional customer service. after 3rd time, without root cause analysis they said that they would replace with a brass t-connector, which to date they can not find. they consider the car safe to drive since brakes work currently, however they failed without warning the last 2 times. i was lucky enough to be in places where no accident occured. i did roll through a toll booth, stop sign on the first two occurances. dealer will not reveal if this is a design defect, parts defects or something specific in this automobile. this car is not safe to drive on the road but volvo seems to not take it seriously.*ak |
