Consumer Description

EARLY CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2004. LAST YEAR, AT APPROX 35,000 MILES, WE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEAD GASKET ($5000). TODAY I WAS TOLD BY OUR VOLVO SERVICE CENTER THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN AND WE NEEDED A NEW ONE. ($12,500) THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GENTLY DRIVEN, HAS EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE YET HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT IT'S ENGINE IS A LEMON. *TR
