problem #1

Apr 062003

V70 5-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 18,000 miles
I have a leased 2001 Volvo V70 T5 that wears through tires every 3 to 5 thousand miles. I am tired of having to drive on bald tires and have asked Volvo to allow me to terminated the lease. They refused my request claiming the problem is the tires not the car. I disagree with them. This is a very serious safety issue with this car the choose to ignore. Could you please provide any help to get this problem resolved.
