I PURCHASED MY 04' XC 90 SIX MONTHS AGO FROM A PRIVATE PARTY (ORIGINAL OWNER) WHO KEPT THE CAR IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. THE REASON I PURCHASED A VOLVO WAS THAT I WANTED A DEPENDABLE AND SAFE CAR FOR MYSELF AND MY YOUNG CHILDREN. RECENTLY, I WAS LEFT STRANDED WITH MY CHILDREN AND NO CELL SERVICE BECAUSE MY KEY WOULD NOT TURN PAST POSITION ONE TO TURN ON THE CAR. THERE WERE NO SIGNS THAT THE CAR HAD ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. AFTER FINDING OUR WAY TO A TELEPHONE AND HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED A NEW IGNITION SWITCH. I DID SOME RESEARCH TO FIND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH VOLVOS. I READ STORIES ON MULTIPLE FORUMS THAT WERE VERY SIMILAR TO MINE. MY CHILDREN AND I WERE PUT INTO A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATION THAT...

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK WITH THE IGNITION TURNED ON, THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION WHILE STANDING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THERE WAS MODERATE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GARAGE. THE POLICE WERE NOT ALERTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

WE LEASED OUR VOLVO XC90-T ALMOST EXACTLY 1 YEAR AGO TO DATE FROM SOUTH COUNTY VOLVO. LESS THAN 3 MONTHS LATER, THE CAR WOULDN'T START. THEY SAID THAT MY WIFE MUST HAVE LEFT A LIGHT ON; THE BATTERY WAS RECHARGED AND WE TOOK THE CAR BACK. 2 MONTHS LATER, THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT START; AGAIN IT WAS TOWED-BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME, THEY SAID THE BATTERY WAS BAD. THE THIRD TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS BAD SWITCH WHICH CONTROLS THE LIGHTS AND THAT WAS CHANGED. ON THE FOURTH OCCASION, WHICH INCIDENTALLY OCCURRED EXCATLY ONE YEAR LATER ON JULY 7TH, 2005, THEY (AGAIN) SAID WE MUST HAVE LEFT A LIGHT ON...NO ONE CAN BE THAT DUMB, NOT EVEN ME!. I AM FAST LOSING MY CONFIDENCE IN VOLVO!
