Consumer Description

I have a 2015 Volvo S60 T5 that I purchased 08 -2021 from Volvo that is consuming oil. I have had the oil changed (out of pocket) 3 times within 10,000 miles because the low oil light was on and I had purchased a extended warranty and wanted to play it safe. Never once did any Volvo service staff mention that this model car had a issue with oil consumption. After researching this cars history I came across a bulletin on the NHTSA webpage that Volvo has known about the issue on or around 11-02-2020. Webpage ( https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10184147-9999.pdf) I received a letter from Volvo about Excessive oil consumption dated February 3, 2023 and I contacted their customer service department. I was told that my car original delivery date was Sept 2014 and that the car is now out of warranty and I would have to pay for anything related to the oil consumption issue. I when to my extended warranty that I purchased with the car ($5000 for 4 years). Within the language of the service contract under "EXCLUSIONS" #17 reads "The correction of oil consumption" It seems to me the Volvo purposely withheld this information from Volvo owners and only sent out a letter to most owners after the factory warranty expired. In my case my car was 5 months out of warranty and they were a wear of the issue in 2020 and failed to notify millions of Volvo owners. *All service records are available but contain personal information for this complaint. Thank you for your time in this matter and this letter may be forwarded to the appropriate department for review.
