S60 S60 2.0t

  • Automatic transmission
  • 31,069 miles

I bought this S60 since July 2011 and few month later I noticed that this car didn't move smoothly on 'not smooth road'. I did tried to compared with my other cars i.e. mazda 6 which I bought it in year 2004. I found out that I drive mazda smoothly on the same road with the same speed. Mazda 6 satisfy me. And again I tried my newest car Hyundai Sonata which I bought it last year (2012), at the same road and that car satisfy me. I drive it without having a problem.

Everyday I travel to my work place and every time I can feel uncomfortable when I pass that road. I already compared with my other cars and ,still, Volvo S60 have that problem.

I'm sorry if you can't get the picture about the problem of my S60. To make it simple, just imagine like this, if I drive my Volvo S60 on a road which is not smooth or not flat or not balance due to crack...I hole the stearing with my booth hand to make sure I drive straight enough. BUT my Volvo S60 will move a little bit to the right and a little bit to the left until the road is smooth. In other words, when there is a car behind me, they can notice that my car move like a snake.

For me this problem is a serious problem. I bought Volvo because of its top safety ranking but I don't feel that safe if I cannot control my car when I drive on a 'not smooth' road.

I already send my car to the Volvo service center in my country and I already told them about the problem. they already check the stabilizer and they said there is nothing wrong. as far as I can remember, I already complain about this matter more than one time and they check it. The result is there is no change, the problem is still there.

Hopefully you or your friends can give some advice to overcome the problem. Thanks.
