In their own words

Purchased through Volvo Selekt at 2 1/2 years old. Collected car,within minutes warning message appeared saying stop engine low coolant. Left a message for salesman but he never bothered to call me or help in any way. The 2 new tyres were fitted incorrectly. I.e. one new tyre and one worn tyre on each axle. (diagonally). Car still rattles even though the dealer has supposedly fixed them. Mirror rattle not cured. Told by Volvo and dealership that I will have to pay £230 to have the door lock replaced. A known problem apparently. Volvo UK not interested or helpful regarding corroding alloys at 34000miles /4 1/2 years. They are saying that the wheels have previously been refurbished but dealership says they have not done so. Dealer also told me that they would not resell the car because they could not put a warranty on it. Volvo's are supposed to be durable and safe ? So fvsh and 34000 at 4 1/2 years old and the franchise I purchased it from say that they could not put a warranty on it? The ride is harsh,but I was aware of this when I purchased it. This does,however,make rattling worse. Extremely disappointed in Volvo and their car.
