2010 Volvo S80

There is a leak or gap at the top of the windshield allowing water to get into the car. Most notable when there is a heavy rain and the car sits overnight. Then what happens is that the water that gets in either fills up in the interior dome light areas or splashes out onto the gear shifter creating puddles. This can be distracting while driving as water will splash on one's face from the water that is pooled in the dome light areas. Also there is a fear that this can cause further electrical damage, Some of the lights on the gear shifter are already not working as a result. This moisture has also begun to deteriorate areas of the instrument panel as well.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

THE CAR WAS JUST PURCHASED AT 127K MILES. THE CARFAX SHOWS 0 ACCIDENTS YET THE BALL BEARINGS IS NOW IN ITS 2ND REPLACEMENT. WHEN I TEST DROVE IT MCGRATH VOLVO STATED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A SAFETY CHECK, BUT THE NOISE WAS NOTICABLE BUT THE SALESMAN PULLED IT OFF AS WEAR AND TEAR. 2 DAYS INTO OWNERSHIP SUSPENSION, BEARINGS (FRONT) NEED REPLACEMENT FOR SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLVO S80. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED, THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC NOTICED A FUEL ODOR DUE TO A LEAKING FUEL LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ORANGE LOW LEVEL OIL LIGHT COMING ON BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, IN MY 2010 VOLVO S80, FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. ON OCCASION, THE RED LIGHT HAS APPEARED AS WELL IF I DON'T ADD OIL FOR MY WIFE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THAT NEITHER MY DEALER NOR CORPORATE HAVE BEEN HELPFUL WITH RESOLVING. I HAVE HAD THE "OIL CONSUMPTION TEST", BUT FRANKLY I AM TIRED OF THE RUN AROUND BECAUSE I LIVE TOO FAR TO KEEP HAVING TO PROVE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND BEING TOLD BY THE SERVICE PERSON THAT IT IS WITHIN SPEC. THIS IS A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. THE TIP ON MY EXHAUST CLEARLY GIVES AN INDICATION OF THE BURNING OF OIL. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THEM TO FIX THIS. I HAVE EVEN FOUND A TECHNICAL JOURNAL REF NO. 24643 (OIL CONSUMPTION) THAT SPEAKS ON MY EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

"SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) AIRBAG FAILURE URGENT" MESSAGE CAME ON. I TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A FAULTY (R) FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY, WHICH WAS REPLACED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE FAULT MESSAGE RETURNED. DEALERSHIP CHECKED CODES AND INDICATED IT WAS THE SAME EXACT PART. I HAD THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S SERVICE HISTORY FOR THE CAR AND DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND ANOTHER DEALERSHIP HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE SAME SEATBELT ASSEMBLY. SO INSTEAD, THE CURRENT DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE ENTIRE SRS SYSTEM. TWO DAYS LATER THE FAULT MESSAGE RETURNED AGAIN. THE CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME NOW AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT A MONTH. THEY ARE NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT SUSPECT THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR AREA. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE QUITE A BIT AND HAVE DISCOVERED A RECALL INVOLVING THE CONNECTION FOR THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL FOR MY 2010, BUT MORE TELLING IS A RECALL AFFECTING 17,000 VEHICLES ENCOMPASSING MANY MODELS MY 2012 FOR A WIRING PROBLEM WHERE THE SEAT HARNESS MAY BECOME DISCONNECTED WHEN MOVING THE SEAT. PERHAPS EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS A 2010 IT STILL COULD BE THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED BETWEEN THESE MODEL YEARS. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT THE SRS SYSTEM DISABLES THE AIRBAGS WHEN THIS FAULT OCCURS SO THIS REPRESENTS A MAJOR SAFETY RISK TO ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR
