Am radio quiet working several years ago. I complained to Volvo of America and I've lodged a complaint previously with NHTSA reguarding the safety factor with the radio not locking onto any am station. It is my concern that in the event of a national emergency I would not be able to receive the alert. I am, also, not able to tune to local area station for emergency traffic reports. My vehicle, with this problem, is not of an isolated condition. I have checked with a Volvo dealership and the person hearing of my problem stated that it is a common, and expensive, situation that has plagued Volvo cars. Numerous statements from fellow Volvo owners have made the same complaint on computer websites. Thank you for your time and assistance. The date below is only an estimation or a guess.
