Consumer Description

On Monday [XXX] I started my car and immediately a warning signal on the dashboard read ENGINE LOW Performance , and the dashboard went black and the engine cut off. The car was then towed to the Glen Cove Volvo. After a diagnostic I was informed the following needed to be replaced - FUEL FILLER PIPE 2) FUEL PRESSURE LOW FUEL indicator 3) the aforementioned replacements will require calibrated software update. . I bought this car brand new and I am the only owner and it has only been serviced by Volvo. This car ONLY has 59, 300 miles. I researched the problem online and noted it was a common problem with the. same make and year of my car and could not understand why there is not a recall for my car, by Volvo for this issue no matter the mileage. I came across correspondence on the internet from [XXX] referencing service action S29843 - fuel tank filler pipe insert was manufactured out of specification for ONLY T8 engines. I reached out to Volvo Car USA customer care and inquired about them covering the cost of the repairs and also informing them that this problem is not only affecting T8 engines. I just received a response for my concern stating THEY ARE SORRY THEY CAN NOT ASSIST ME WITH THIS MATTER. I cannot begin to express how sadden and disappointed in the corporation, to experience their lack of compassion and. concern about their product after I spent thousands of dollars of my hard earned money on this defective car. I have no faith in Volvo and no longer feel safe driving this car. I will tell all my relatives and friends of my experience to save them from Volvo's lack of concern about their CUSTOMERS' safety. This is clearly no wear and tear. There are multiple posts on the internet. There's a case of replacement at 10,000 miles, another case where it was replaced and failed again and the dealer is requesting the owner to pay. This this not right. There should be a recall for the entire system when it fails.-clearly defective INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
