2004 Volvo S60 2.5T review from North America
"Nice looking, but too many annoying problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 17000 miles the car is thumping from front end while driving at speeds 30 to 50. The dealer has stated tires are the problem despite scheduled rotations.
New tires have not corrected the problem. Car continues to shake on the highway at speeds 60 and 70 and makes a lot of road noise.
Road noise and vibration make for annoying experience especially if you spend a lot of time in the vehicle.
The check engine light has come on at least 3 times and the dealer resets it.
Dealer states nothing wrong with car. I am going to trade it in.
General comments?
Comfortable seats and stylish body. Nice looking vehicle.
It is a fast peppy car. However I believe there is a problem with the suspension or parts having to do with the wheels of the car.
