Description of the problem | My husband and i both own 2010 volvos. Mine is s40, his xc60. We have both had leaks relating to faulty sunroof drain. Dealer repaired and replaced for my husband at no cost, but fought with me - because i am a woman - until my husband came with me to dealership. Even though they ultimately fixed the sunroof drain, there is still the stench of mold or mildew in my car. My husband also had a leak develop in his windshield. Dealer told him that there was a faulty coating on windshields this model year and they replaced his windshield at no cost. Just now, i was out driving, it started raining, and water started pouring in through my windshield. (luckily i was just arriving at my destination, and i was able to wait until the rain subsided before driving home, because there were multiple steady streams of water pouring on to me and the steering wheel when the rain was at its peak.) apparently my windshield has the same problem that my husband's had. I know there is already a class action lawsuit brewing about the leaky sunroof drain, and i see that there are hundreds of people online complaining about this. I also see that there are lots of people online complaining about the windshield leak. This is ridiculous. How can volvo knowingly let buyers of its cars drive around knowing that they are in danger of having rain pour in on them as they are driving? Or that the interiors of their cars will be soaked and polluted with mold and mildew? Is nhtsa going to do something about this???? |
