Consumer Description

2005 VOLVO XC90. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE BREAKDOWN. *SMD AN INITIAL INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A DECLARED DESIGN FLAW BY VOLVO IN THEIR 2005 MODELS. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONSUMER, TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS AND DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE BREAK DOWN WAS IN FACT A DESIGN FLAW. CORPORATE VOLVO STATED THE ISSUE WAS NOT PROBLEMATIC ENOUGH FOR THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL, AS PROBLEMS WERE EVALUATED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. VOLVO INFORMED THE DEALER TO RE-BUILD THE ENGINE, INSTEAD OF REPLACING IT. *JB
