Well, maybe a few.... :D
Sunroof stuck open in long term parking lot of Newark International airport, upper engine mount/torque arm bushing, 3 power door locks, AC leaks including evaporator, cabin temp sensor x3, seat belt mechanism replaced, thermostat, heater core, then 1 1/2 years later, leaking again at the hose gaskets, warped rear rotors, seized front brake caliper, ABS module, parking brake shoes in rear drums de-laminated, on third battery, struts and shocks, stabilizer bar end links three times, rear window washer leak - repaired and leaking again, turbo oil return line "O" ring, oil filler cap gasket leak x4, drip rail moldings peeling, windshield wiper skipping - since car was new, seat belt door panel damage, coolant reservoir cap cracked, glove box latch, rocking driver's seat, trip computer switch ("DISC" reading), ignition switch complete failure, loose tailgate panel, 1 stereo speaker, SC816 stereo radio main unit. PS reservoir cap leaks and Volvo's only available replacement cap won't fit the reservoir!
Last night my wife said “Wow, this car sure has a lot of squeaks and rattles. (After I spent 2 weekends trying to track ‘em all down!)(She drives a Honda Odyssey these days.)
Plus, probably, a bunch of other stuff I don't remember.
Clutch is original and the 5-speed transmission still shifts like new. Engine still uses no oil.
I still LOVE my Volvo!
Thank you for getting me to list all this stuff! Really! I'd forgotten about a lot of it!
