2000 Volvo V40 Wagon review from North America
"A good car until one thing goes wrong"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes and rotors needed to be replaced.
The sunroof spontaneously exploded while traveling down the interstate.
General comments?
The service received during the repair and research of the sunroof explosion was horrible. Neither, the dealers management or Volvo Corporation would back their warranty on a car less than 9 months old.
For the amount of money I paid for the Volvo, I would much rather buy another Mercedes-Benz.
Due to the lack of service received, I will never buy Volvo again. Big corporations need to understand that their customers are what makes them money. They shouldn't bite the hand that feeds them.
