1994 Volvo 960 Sedan review from North America
"Great quality as evidenced by the fact it is running strong at 146000 miles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear main seal leak.
Automatic transmission shifter had a broken clip in the shifter.
All transmission sensors failed.
Air conditioning bellows behind the dash failed.
General comments?
Overall a great car, very stable, powerful, good handling and quality. Biggest mistake was taking the car to the Volvo dealer for any kind of service. Once I found an independent Volvo mechanic, I appreciated the car much more.
