Re: Did You Have to Replace your Evaporator at Your Expense ? 850 95

posted by  someone claiming to be DJM on  Thu Dec 20 05:56 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Bernie,

I just had my evaporator replaced ($1000) Sept 01. Also had the tailgate trim falloff problem fixed at the same time ($100).

I was involved in a Federal Trade commission lawsuit against VW in the early 80's concerning excessive oil consumption due to valve stem seals that did not hold up to engine temperature. After about 5 year I received a check for full repair compensation. Note that this was the FTC and NOT some lawyer's group filing a class action suit. Most such suits result in little compensation for the victims and lots of money for the lawyers.

As far as Volvo's design "surviving" the 4yr 5ok mile warranty letting allowing to complaim no further liability, in the case of VW above the warranty period was only 1yr/12K miles, but the suit covered owner wtih much more mileage - it is called a latent defect.
