| Seat Belt problems |
For the last several years I’ve been complaining about my tpms always reflecting a “low tire pressure “ response. Recently I went in for a oil change but indicated the my tire pressure light was on again. I take the Volvo to a shop I trust. Global autoworks in grandhaven. They took care of my previous owned BMW without any issues. I put in Volvo S80’s recall site and found that there was a recall on 10/07/2010. The vehicle was a private purchase made in January 8, 2018 from the original owner. Upon purchase I made the decision to put new tires on the vehicle to see if that would fix the problem. $1200. 00 later and the problem was not resolved. I do not feel that I should pay for safety issue that the company knew about. I spoke to the previous owner and she did not receive a letter from Volvo. The Volvo is in very good condition with low mileage for a 14 year old car. 69,815. Second issue: seat belt issue. Reason for recall: Volvo car investigations have identified a problem regarding the front seat fastening. All I can tell you if I lean forward abruptly the seat belt will not tighten or secure itself. Recall r10029 again we have safety issue. I would like Volvo to fix both issues at their expense not mine. Both owners have maintained this vehicle in beautiful condition and these issues were not the result of the owners. They are Volvos issues. I would greatly appreciate someone at Volvo looking into these issues and bringing forward a resolution.
