NHTSA Complaint #10855025 — 2004 VOLVO XC70

I HAVE BEEN BRING MY CAR TO A VOLVO DEALER IN MY AREA FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS. I THOUGHT THAT I COULD TRUST THEM. STARTING IN 2014 I NOTICED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD APPEAR WHEN DRIVING DURING WET CONDITIONS AND IF I HIT A POTHOLE OF WHICH WE HAVE MANY HERE. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ON TO 2 DIFFERENT VISITS. BOTH TIMES THEY SAID THEIR WAS NO PROBLEM. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP FOR A SECOND OPTION FOR AN ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT ISSUE, IT WAS DISCOVERED DURING A TEST DRIVE BY THE LEAD MECHANIC THAT MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVING IN AWD. THAT VOLVO DEALERSHIP AND THEIR MECHANICS PUT, ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER. UNFORGIVABLE. THIS ISSUE(S) OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AS I LIVE IN A LARGE CITY AND WITH ELDERLY PASSENGERS AS I WAS A VOLUNTEER DRIVER FOR THE ELDERLY.
