2000 Volvo S80 T6 review from North America
"The car is a lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power locks failed.
Moon roof was stuck (open of course).
Transmission failed.
Signal switch inside steering column failed.
General comments?
I've owned this car for 2 years and it's a financial disaster. Never ever ever buy this model and make. Besides having just about every problem under the sun go wrong, Volvo dealerships are absolutely no help in fixing the problems.
I paid $1000 bucks to get a switch fixed so my blinkers would work. They wanted another $700 to fix the power locks. I told them I would use my keys.
They want upwards of $4000 to fix the transmission, which I won't give them.
The moon roof got stuck open, so I wound up ripping apart the ceiling panel and tearing the motor out. Once unplugged, it worked again. (They quoted me another $1000 to fix it.)
Every electrical problem you can imagine keeps going wrong. It's an absolute lemon.
