Consumer Description
It has come to my attention my 2014 Volvo s60 has a well known and documented problem of excessive oil consumption internally. It has to do with the pistons and the pump rings and is well known by Volvo since 2013. It is not a leak but an issue with the manufacture which seems like an obvious reason to recall and make them fix it. How do we not know more crashes or fires aren't caused from this when the company is clearly trying to cover it up??!! I was not aware of it before I purchased the vehicle but received a letter from Volvo stating the issue and the extended warranty will be added from 8 years or 100,000 miles. However, the years start from when the vehicle was first sold, in my case 8/31/13 so even though I have not exceeded the 100K miles they will not fix my problem. They quoted me $9k for the repair and claimed they could do nothing else about it. How can it be a company knows for years this is an issue and doesn't warn buyers nor do they do anything to try and remedy the issue until they see a class action lawsuit coming..???? the NHTSA MUST GET INVOLVED TO HELP CONSUMERS. THIS IS A WIDLEY KNOWN AND DOCUEMNTED ISSUE. If I was not aware or cared about my car other then the scheduled oil change it could blow up and injure me or another driver easily if their is no oil in the car. That is absolutely unacceptable. How can you allow this to not be recalled? It has been known and is allowed to not be remedied? They are even reimbursing people who had already paid for this repair so it seem obvious they know its now right but until someone forces them to fix it, they can just quietly fix the bare minimum. The fact it is not known to the public should alone be a safety issue, people don't buy a $30k car to drive around with oil in the back and have to worry their car will explode if they don't add oil every 1k miles. As I said, I got a letter for an extended warranty that doesn't even apply and when I called volvo they said nothing can be done. PLEASE HELP
