problem #1

S70 5-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles
Faulty dash clips that retain the dashboard to the firewall. I was told by the lead technican at bob pinkus Volvo in Colorado springs, co that this was a known defect. The clips break leading to a squeeky dash that Volvo is not willing to address out of warranty. I now have no confidence in dirving this car as I do not know when the dash will seperate, if in an accident, and severly injure either myself or a member of my family.
