1999 Volvo S80 review from North America
"Horrible!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both wheels fell off!
Starter broke.
Lots of maintenance required.
General comments?
Yes, both wheels fell off my car. The first time I was driving slowly through a parking lot and the wheel just fell off the axle. I had it repaired, but shortly after heard a suspicious noise so I took it in to be looked at and when the mechanic was test driving it, the other wheel fell off. This by far, was the worst of my troubles but definitely not the only problem.
I had leaks in the head gasket and the starter went out at 80K.
I spent thousands on repairs for this car.
