Thinking of buying an S80 S80

posted by  someone claiming to be Bob on  Tue May 6 05:14 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I too was enchanted by the new body design and bought a 2000 S80 2.9 in Feb. of this year. It had 43k miles. Here's my list of problems to date:

Power door lock actuator motor failure.
Glass on passenger side window stuck because of poor weatherstripping.
Passenger side weatherstripping pulled away from door.
The steering column/wheel clunks (moves) when excelerating and braking.
Horrible AM radio reception.
Surging idle with A/C on.
Transmission slips when shifting from reverse to drive causing when hop.
Weatherstripping on passenger side rear door allows water to run into the car.

Other than these things it's a nice car. However, my 1998 Toyota 4runner limited with 96K miles is far superior.
