| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Problems with volvo heavy duty truck: since the very first week of ownership we have had nothing but problems with our brand new $130,000 rig. in a nut shell here is a list of the majority of problems that we have had since march 2001: -5 alternators...the first two actually fell off while driving down the highway!!?? -3 cam shafts (detroit diesel)... the first one went @ approximately 40,000 miles -major vibration/loud rattle coming through the gear shifter **has been constant since i drove it off of the lot...they say that it is normal?? -despite the large red warning label on the truck that states that pre-mature wear will occur, the volvo mechanics have adjusted the driveline angles numerous times. even if they ever did get the noise to go away, damage has already occurred! -transmission will not shift properly... volvo mechanics say it shifts normal and that it is all in my head!!!!!!? (trust me, many mechanics who do not work for the manufacturer agree with me!!) -2 ecm computers -3 on board display computers -3 sets of steer tries (first set lasted 90,000 miles) -2 sets of wheel bearings. even though they have been adjusted at the specified intervals! -the paint on the hood began peeling off before i got the truck home!! -passenger side door locks malfunctioned on the first trip out!! -4 new batteries had to be bought 1 day after the 1 year warranty expired!!! i had problems with the batteries prior to the warranty expiring, however many volvo mechanics told me that they tested fine...i have proof that they were not ok! ...and volvo says that this is normal??!! |
