Consumer Description
APRIL B2021. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE STALLED . I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT THE CAR FEARFUL OF MY SAFETY I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TOW THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A VOLVO DEALERSHIP WHICH REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR. SO I GOT IT TOWED TO A CERTIFIED SHOP. I WAS TOLD THAT TWO CYLINDERS LOST PRESSURE AND I NEED A REPLACEMENT MOTOR. WHAT? I NEVER RECEIVED ANY WARNING LIGHTS , NO LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT. I FOLLOWED THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. HOW IS THIS . I'VE CONTACTED VOLVO AMERICA AND AM WAITING. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT THE VOLVO THAT I'VE BEEN USING FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS SUDDENLY REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE CAR. I'M LEARNING THAT SEIZED ENGINES IN THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL IS COMMON RIGHT AROUND 100,000 MILES.
