2000 Volvo S40 Volvo review from North America
"Horrible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Numerous problems from the time it was driven off the lot.
1. Seat belt buckle replaced because it was setting off the air bag light.
2. Vacuum Pump has been replaced at least 4 times.
3. Motor mount block seals replaced each time the car is serviced.
4. The some of the dash board lights do not illuminate.
5. Chipped paint.
6. A metal bar fell off the inside of the sunroof because because the glue holding it in no longer sticks.
6. Replaced the brakes and rotors more times that I can count.
7. Have to replace the headlights every 3-4 months at $15.00 a piece.
8. The back part of the car rattles and the dealer can't tell me why.
I could go on and on.
General comments?
I would not recommend this car to my worst enemy. It has cost me over $10,000 in a 3 year period.
