Purchased this Volvo a few months ago had it for a week and it broke down while idling in my driveway it was towed to Volvo of roanoke, va. They told me the idler pulley seized up causing the vehicle to jump time. They replaced the dive belt and put the vehicle back in time and told me the vehicle was good to go. (they charged me $1,000) I dove it for a couple of days and then it broke down again on the interstate and was towed back to the same dealer. I was informed this time that the motor needed to be replaced and gave me no explanation as to why. (they said they would put a used engine in with 130k miles for $10,000) I had the vehicle towed to an independently owned Volvo repair shop to have them check it over. They also agree that the engine needs to be replaced and said that the valves are bent.

On December 24, 2015, our 2012 Volvo S60 fwd t5 engine broke down on a city street. The belt was replaced at the Volvo dealership with a standard "Volvo-belt. " mileage on the car at the time was 43843. Fast forward to August 21, 2018, the car breaks down again on city street. Current mileage is 73114. The belt again breaks. However, this time debris got into timing belt gears. This caused the engine to jump time and now valves are bent. Volvo dealership quoted $~6000. 00 to repair. Is there an underlying engine/belt problem that needs to be investigated.

The grief from this car literally began on the way home from the show room, as the seat belts were not functioning. They required four visits to the service department to correct the problem. The issue of the tires being unsafe became apparent when the car was two weeks old, with under 1000 miles on the odometer front & rear bumpers separate from vehicle , with little or no provocation. Tires self destruct at speeds of 2-4 mph (while parking), if a curb is touched. I'm informed that tires have weak sidewalls & to replace tires (at my expense). Air conditioning required three visits to repair shop & is still not getting the car as cold as it should in hot weather. I should add that I'm also informed that replacement tires will diminish the handling of the car.
