Need new air suspension for towing (2100 lbs boat).
Replaced rear brakes and one rotor, having to get the front ones checked.
A/C has not worked since purchase, tried to have it recharged, leaked out in 4 days.
Rear windshield wiper need reinforcement - denture adhesive :)
Seat warmer non-functioning.
Much plastic cracked.
Cruise control works rarely.
One speaker out.
Old leaks.
Rusted out passenger floor panel (sheet metal fix-it).
This car runs great once warmed up, usually have to let it warm up for 30-40 seconds.
Heater is the best I have ever felt.
Lots of creaking noises.
Not much power to tow.
Very very small turning radius.
Nice passing gear.
Never used in winter, got re-sealed to test this winter. Heard good things though.
Never had the engine or transmission rebuilt.
Squeaky brakes.
Built to last.
A-men about the turning radius!
In response to the squeaky brakes issue: I have had several Volvos, loved every one of them. I found that anything other than genuine Volvo pads will result in noisy brakes. Not sure why, but when replaced with aftermarket pads... noise developed!
