Consumer Description

BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THE FIRST STALLING EPISODE AND ETS LIGHT ON. CALLED VOLVO DUE TO A REPLACEMENT/EXTENDED WARRANTY ON AFFECTED PART. WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS NOT REPLACED AND THE WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER COVERING CAR (10 YEARS/200000 MILES). AS A RECENT PURCHASER OF THIS CAR I HAD NO CLUE OF THE REPLACEMENT NOT PREVIOUSLY DONE OR EVEN NEEDED. ALL WAS NEW TO ME AND THEY REFUSED. MOVING FORWARD ONE YEAR AND CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC, ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND, NO DASH LIGHTS AND COMPLETE FAILURE OF ETM. CAR WON'T STAY RUNNING AT ALL, TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME AFTER THIS INCIDENT. NO WARRANTY ON PART, NO REPLACEMENT AND NOW I HAVE $ 4000 BOAT ANCHOR THAT WILL COST A FORTUNE TO FIX DUE TO NO WARRANTY ON THE PART THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED YEARS AGO BY VOLVO. *JB
