Consumer Description

UNDERHOOD WIRING HARNESS IS PROTECTED FROM HEAT/ELEMENTS BY A CONVOLUTED TUBING. THE CONVOLUTED TUBING HAS BECOME VERY BRITTLE, TURNED TO POWDER AND FALLEN OFF THE HARNESS LEAVING THE HARNESS UNPROTECTED. VOLVO IS APPARENTLY USING A TUBING PLASTIC UNDERHOOD THAT CANNOT WITHSTAND HEAT! THE WIRING HARNESS ON MY CAR IS NOW LEFT UNPROTECTED AND WILL LIKELY SUFFER PREMATURE FAILURE SIMILAR TO EVERY OTHER MAJOR SYSTEM ON THIS CAR.
