Consumer Description

Hello, I currently drive a 2016 Volvo V60 Cross Country which falls under the year of recalled vehicles related to the piston ring issue outlined in the Buchanan, et al. v. Volvo Car USA, LLC, et al., Case No. 2:22-cv-02227. According to the suit Volvo is supposed to replace my oil piston rings if it falls under warranty which is under 100k miles. For Volvo to confirm if my vehicle was impacted they performed an oil consumption test back in March of 2023 in which my vehicle failed meaning the rings still needed to be replaced. Three years later and Volvo Cars Tacoma has still refused to replace the piston rings after multiple follow up attempts. I have also reached out to other Volvo dealers in the area to try and get the rings replaced, but no one ever returns my phone calls. The oil check symptom test was done on my vehicle at 81k miles meaning it still feel under warranty at the time they told me they needed to be replaced. Since then, I have pleaded with them multiple times to fix the issue for three years with zero success although they are LEGALLY required to fix this issue. I took my car in for a repair in November of 2025 and requested they fix the piston ring issue then when they had my vehicle for others repairs and they still refused.
