great when there is nothing to fix
Loved the car while we had it. Bought it in Nov. of 2001 as a repo, car was pre-certified with warranty to 74,000 miles. Just got rid of the car a week ago. Had to replace the throttle body, had shifter lights fixed, fixed a leak in the oil pan, front headlight wiper needed to be fixed, replaced ball joints, pinion seals. A lot was covered by warranty, but spent 2,00+ out of pocket and needed to spend another 700+. Put a good set of Dunlops on the car and they didn't last 15,000 miles, so went back to Michelin tires and no more excessive tire wear
not a good experience
Our first three problems were electronic/ computerized parts failures. Very expensive to fix. We were just out of warranty on a car with a perfect service record when our troubles began and Volvo refused to show us any "good will". The last problem we just had, again very expensive repair has left us asking-why did we buy a Volvo? Aren't there supposed to be great cars? And if this is an exception, why doesn't Volvo stand behind there factory installed parts?? If you're thinking of buying a Volvo wagon get the extended warranty or you may be in for alot of money, time and aggrevation!
Disappointed
First European Car I have owned after 1 Honda and 3 Nissans. I am back to Japanese after this experience. Car purchased as a one year old car with 13,000 miles. Good safety features, design, and options features have been far outweighted by terrible mechanical failures, all after certified extended waranty expired. Failures included steering, electronic throttle control systems, master brake cylinder, driver's seat belt, front brake rotors, and front passenger electric window switch. Repair costs have exceeded $3,000. I have never owned a car that experienced major failures of critical drive train components. An now the car has several rattles. I would not recommend Volvo to anyone.
Don't do it!
Save yourself the trouble. This car isn't worth it. Last year alone (2007) I had over $7,000 in repair bills on this car. Total repairs have cost me over $18,000. Electrical, ABS Module, Brakes, Tranny, etc. etc. etc. Rear hatch panel keeps coming loose. Now the rear hatch won't lock. Keep thinking there's nothing left to go wrong. This dog keeps showing me how laughable that attitude is. Can't go 3 months without a shop visit. The absolute worst car I've ever owned.
Volvo Cross Country
My friends call this car "the limo". Everyone loves to ride in it. Sit in the back to see why this car is so special.
