NHTSA Complaint #10595522 — 2005 VOLVO XC90

GOOD MORNING, I PURCHASE A 2005 VOLVO XC90 FROM DRIVE TIME ON MARCH 29, 2013, PRIOR TO PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IT WAS MY DREAM AUTOMOBILE, ON APRIL 17, 2013 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS LATE FOR WORK BECAUSE I WENT TO DRIVE TIME TO FIND OUT WHERE TO TAKE IT SINCE I DID PURCHASE THE DRIVE CARE PACKAGE. I CALLED THE CLAIM DEPARTMENT AND BECAUSE OF MILES I TRAVEL DAILY THE WARRANTY MILEAGE HAD EXPIRE, WHICH WAS CONFUSING BECAUSE ON THE SALE SLIP ON THE CAR IT STATED 30 DAY WARRANTY, I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT A VOLVO DEALER FOR SERVICE, I TOOK IT TO MOOERS VOLVO IN RICHMOND, VA AND THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATE THERE WERE MISFIRE IN THE SPARK PLUGS ($500) LATER, THEY ALSO STATED THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL PLUGS AND NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND MY DRIVE CARE PACKAGE DIDN'T COVER MAINTENANCE. FOUR DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON, INDICATING THE SAME PROBLEM (MISFIRE IN PLUGS 6 &8) AGAIN MISSING TIME FROM WORK TO HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT BECAUSE I DON''T WANT TO BE BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS TIME THEY CHANGE THE FUEL FILTER AND PUT A GAS TREATMENT IN MY CAR ($154) LATER, STATING THAT IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO W/FUEL TANK. I HAVE SPENT A LITTLE OVER $1000, IN REPAIRS AND CAR RENTAL AND MY CAR WAS TWO MONTHS OLD AT THAT TIME. I GOT MY CAR SERVICED ON TIME AND STILL MY CHECK ENGINE IS STILL ON.I WENT TO A SHOP RECENTLY BECAUSE OF THE (A YEAR LATER) CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. THEY SUGGEST I LOOK UP THE RECALL SAFETY BECAUSE NOW ONE SIDE B1 HAS A MISFIRE READING. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND I TRAVEL AN HOUR EACH WAY TO WORK AND WOULD HATE FOR SOMETHING TERRIBLE TO HAPPEN. I'M HOPING YOU WOULD GUIDE ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED OR WHO I NEED TO DIRECT MY CONCERNS TO. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE. *TR
