S40 problems. Your experience? S40-V40

posted by  someone claiming to be boostaman on  Wed Apr 2 06:32 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have a 2000 S40 1.9T with only 19k miles. Whoever engineered this car should be shot! The car is a joke! Here are the problems I've had and got fixed:

-Engine mount replaced
-Bulbs replaced twice already
-Some sway bar work done
-2 Power Steering Failures
-Clunking problem when pulling from idle front driver side
-rear brakes needs replacement already
-2 oil leaks already, replaced oil pan gasket and another seal somewhere
under the car

My goodness! This is the worst car I've owned! I can feel it wear down on me already. I thought I made a car class upgrade from Toyota to Volvo. I may downgrade back to Toyota. Did I also mention the paint is just poor quality and
the car's throttle response is terrible. I'm at the point now to go talk to the general manager at the dealer for a replacement. Has anybody here done this?
