2000 Volvo S40 review from North America
"This car is poor quality all around"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioner had to be replaced after only one to two of being bought.
The headlights and brake lights had to be replaced.
The breakpads/rotors had to be replaced twice within a year an one half in between.
The catalytic converters had to repalced within two years of being owned.
The windsheild wipers and windsheild fluid ejectors had to be replaced and worked on after 2-3 years of being bought.
The engine light keeps coming on.
The fuel pump had to be replaced!
Now they tell me the CV axles are "warped' and need to be replaced at my expense!
The cup holder is a problem and rattles all the time.
General comments?
This car has serious safety issues and I would not buy it again nor would I recommend it to anyone.
