Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Bought used volvo 2000 s80 from volvo of houston, had shipped to california with 30k miles. we have put another 45k on the vehicle. volvo of pleasanton, has given us excellent service, the car has been in the shop 11 times. i am writing you this letter due to the investigation for stalling. this was the first problem that we encountered, the cause was the mass air intake sensor. the car would completely shut down on freeway or pulling away from stop light. the radiator fan also failed, causing car to over heat and stall. other parts have been replaced, front end ball joints wear prematurely, transmission replaced at 75k, alternator replaced at 50k, steering problems, according to volvo of pleasanton, it was about to fail. oh yeah, and a stupid bulb light sensor, numerous times kept failing. we have another 25k miles under warranty, the car has been essentially rebuilt. if you would like manitenance records, volvo of pleasanton, ca. has everything. they really have given us outstanding service. *nm
