| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Following multiple breakdowns failed insulation on exposed electrical wires in close proximity to the fuel injection system and alternator were found. i believe this to be a dangerous situation which could lead to fire and have taken the car off the road pending repair. i searched google for volvo bad wiring and came up with many hits. this appears to be a safety related design fault related to the type of wire used only in certain years in the early 1980's. earlier and later cars seem to be ok. it seems the wire is not heat resistent. |
