Consumer Description

HEADLIGHT WIRING AND CONNECTOR BURNED CAUSING LIGHT TO GO OUT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WIRING AND CONNECTOR ACCORDING TO A TSB ISSUED BY VOLVO. DEALER STATED THAT THEY HAD REPAIRED SEVERAL VOLVOS WITH THIS PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER SAID THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND VOLVO ISSUED A TSB AND PROVIDED A REPAIR KIT FOR REPAIRS VOLVO DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. THANKFULLY, ONLY ONE LIGHT BURNED OUT AT THE TIME OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE CRASHED AT 70 MPH. DEALER SAID BOTH HEADLIGHT WIRING CABLES AND CONNECTORS WERE BURNT AND THEY REPLACED BOTH. I REPORTED THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION. THIS ONE LIGHT WENT OUT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BEFORE I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND DISCOVERED THE SAFETY PROBLEM. REPAIRS MADE AT MY COST. *TR
