Had two problems less than 250 miles. Air bag light came on and Climate Control actuator made noise. Dealer was prompt and courteous in fixing both problems. Really enjoy driving the car. Very secure to the road.
No more Volvos for me

This is my first and last Volvo ever. Since I bought the car in 2005, it's been in the shop over 16 times for a variety of reasons: air bag malfunction, climate control issues, circuit boards frying, battery failures, remote not working, steering failure, etc. In fact, the car has been towed to the dealership 2 times since 2005! (And this was a brand new car). Never again am I going to buy an S40... and never again a Volvo!

Is it held together with plastic screws?

What a piece of junk. I have owned many cars (German and American) and this one is just awful. I have 21000 miles on it but it drives like there are 121000 miles on the clock. A/C problems; stereo has a mind of its own; creaks, rattles, and shakes; the windows have a mind of there own; the gas gauge is unreliable; the ABS doesn't work; the whole steering system is screwed up and the list goes on. The car has gotten to the point where the steering and lack of ABS have made it almost unsafe and definitely unsettling to drive.
Very disappointed

I bought a 2005 Volvo s40 for $1850 and thought I had a great daily driver for a reasonable price. Within the first 6 months, my husband and I had to replace the starter (it was replaced right before we bought it), the alternator (which is almost $300), the calipers kept sexing even after replacing caliper 3x and the brake line, washer fluid sensor doesn’t work, terrible blind spots through front and back of car, headliner is falling down, headlights are super dim. I am honestly not that picky, but it seems like every time we turn around, the car is begging for attention. That being said, it is a very attractive car, is very comfortable with the heated leather seats, comfortable and smooth ride (when it doesn’t act up), and feels very safe. Oh yeah, not even an auxiliary hook up in this.

This was my first car; while not real fancy, it was reliable. I never had a problem with the car. Regular service, but never a major repair
