| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2001 volvo s40. in early april 2005, my vehicle was diagnosed as being in need of oxygen sensors, which was the reason for my "check engine" to be activated. the problem is that my car had approximately 25,000 miles on it. as of mid october 2005, the "check engine" light has been reactivated and the vehicle was recently diagnosed at the volvo dealership as needing new oxygen sensors-again. currently, my car has 32,000 miles and is going on its third set of oxygen sensors. the parts and labor that are required to fix the problem are truly expensive. all my complaints to volvo have fallen on deaf ears. i truly believe that this problem is a result of poor engineering skills, or worse yet, intelligent engineering that is intended to keep the customers spending on costly repairs. *jb |
