| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought a 2006 volvo xc90 ocean race (limited edition) suv on 3/21/06. the morning of 3/25/06, my car would not start. volvo roadside assistance jump started the vehicle, which i then drove back to the dealership. the battery tested fine, and the vehicle was returned to me. on 4/27/06, again the car would not start. vehicle was returned to me on 4/29, no-charge invoice says "replace engine management and starter relays. rechecked numerous times, o.k." car again failed to start 5/3/06. it is now 5/9 and 'special' volvo field tech seem clueless as to the problem. they claim to have checked "everything thoroughly", and now say they want to put 20 -40 miles on my new vehicle, attempting to "recreate the dead battery scenario". sounds mighty desperate and illogical, considering the car intermittently and unpredictably failed to start only after 10-24 hours of being parked. i feel that all that $ i spent has provided me with little more than various loaner cars, trips to and from the dealership, major inconveniences, headaches, and a growing uneasiness with volvo's reliability and service techs. *nm |
