Consumer Description

I HAD NOT DRIVEN THIS CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR BECAUSE I BOUGHT A 2008 C70 THAT I WAS DRIVING. I DECIDED TO START DRIVING THIS ONE FOR THE WINTER. ON A RAINY MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY WINDOWS FROSTED UP INSIDE SO BAD THAT I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT TO WORK. MY DEFROSTER FAILED. I JUST TRIED MY CAR AGAIN AND THE DEFROSTER SEEMED TO WORK - ONLY SLOWER- BUT NOW MY DASHBOARD IS SHOWING ME A LIGHT THAT SAYS ETC. FROM READING ON-LINE, IT SOUNDS LIKE I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ABOUT THIS.. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I DID NOT. IS VOLVO GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MATTER - SINCE I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER OR KNEW THAT THERE WAS SUCH A PROBLEM? *TR
