Consumer Description
I purchased my vehicle used in February 2021. On the morning of December 14, 2021 we got a low coolant warning, please pull over safely message on the way to work. We just so happened to be near a gas station and was able to put half a container of 50/50 coolant and continue driving. On our return home we got the same message but noticed a major leak once we made it home. We had Volvo tow the vehicle to Northpoint Volvo in Alpharetta, GA and it appears to be having the exact same issue as what was previously preparing under recall 19V-308. I tried reporting this to the dealer and Volvo Customer Service but both tell me the recall was fixed in 2019 for my vehicle. If the issue is "fixed" how can I be facing the EXACT same issue just two years later.
