Consumer Description

SEVERE SUBFRAME RUST DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST ON THE V8 MODELS OF THE VOLVO S80S ONLY. DEALER SAID THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WILL MELT THE PAINT OFF, CAUSING RUST TO ATTRACT TO THE SUBFRAME. THE SUBFRAME IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT TO THE CAR, UNFORTUNATELY ALTHOUGH VOLVO HAS SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE V8 MODELS, THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE MY VEHICLE HAS RUST, AND THE CAR IS UNDERCOATED YEARLY.
