Consumer Description

DURING RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING, HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND CAR LOSES POWER. I HAVE COME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO HIGH SPEED ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER. ALSO CAR HAS A SEVERE JERK IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A TURN. SO STRONG I THOUGHT I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. THERE IS A PROBLEM NHTSA INVESTIGATED WITH WATER GETTING INTO THE CEM. VOLVO ACKNOWLEDGED MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT RESULTS IN WATER GETTING IN CEM BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COVER. THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING WHEN THIS MIGHT HAPPENS-APPEARS TO DEPEND ON HOW HEAVY THE RAIN, IF ROADWAY HAS A LOT OF WATER. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY REASONS-VOLVO CONTINUES TO PUT CONSUMERS AT RISK. *TR
