2000 Volvo S40 s40 review from North America
"Expensive to fix"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has an Electrical problem. Replaced many head light bulbs. Sometimes by directionals won't work, but if you hit the hazards on for a second, then the directions will work.
Heated seats don't work. Replaced the fuse and it burnt out within seconds.
The car shakes over 60 mph. Brought it back to the dealer, but they just rotated the tires. No help.
The sunroof leaks when it rains. I live in New England.
Both rear coils split in half.
Drive side window button does not work in center console, but works on the door.
Front highlight wiper gets stuck.
Check engine lights comes on. Brought it to the dealership, and they don't know what's wrong.
General comments?
This car is very comfortable to drive.
There are a lot of problems with the car, and it is very expensive t fix it at the dealership.
