Fair Warning: S80 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Disappointed on  Thu Mar 4 03:13 CST 2004 [RELATED]

A short summary of my tale of S80 woe:

27,000 mi: Replaced battery.
37,000 mi: Replaced two front link rods, ABS module.
41,000 mi: Replaced power steering pump.
49,000 mi: Replaced two front shock absorbers.
52,000 mi: Replaced link rod, inner tie rod end, engine mounts.
57,000 mi: Replaced lower right front ball joint, steering fluid reservoir.

Oh, and the AM radio hardly ever works in built-up areas.

So, don't say you weren't warned. If you HAVE to buy a Volvo, I'd recommend buying two: One for the road and one for the shop. Me? I'm going back to a Honda or Toyota product (had both, for decades, without significant problems) as soon as my extended warranty expires!
