2002 Volvo S40 review from North America
"Great car in all weather minor problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced rear brakes at 20000 miles and was told this is normal. The check engine light is on for no reason. Replaced 6 headlight bulbs. Paint is very thin.
General comments?
I too was very disappointed on the service of the car. I can't understand how the rear brakes can go way before the front ones? The original tires always had slow leaks and one developed the bubble others were saying.
