This complaint relates to pe10025. I have to replace cem and casing for wiring cost 5500. 00. Volvo should be responsible for part or all of this repair. It is water seepage into the cem case. Water drips down through hood of the car and corrodes the wires. Causes major electrical shorts. I consider this to be a manufaturer defect. Way to many cars are experiencing this issue and it is extremely costly. I would sincerely wish you to consider making Volvo responsible.
This complaint refers to NHTSA action number pe10025. Service bulletin number tnn 37-35. It is outrageous and unacceptable for you to not have issued a recall on this matter. Volvo should be expected to replace my wiring grommet and/or plenum cover at no charge. It is applauding that Volvo would not take this serious and issue a recall as it is clearly a defect and a safety hazard. My children and I were on the interstate when this happened to us and it was very dangerous. It is clearly a problem and safety issue that Volvo recognizes or they would have not changed the design and issued a bulletin. I do not understand how a company can sell me a product that malfunctions and then expect me to pay them to repair it.
Our car wouldn't start in our garage one morning. Turns out, we needed a new cem due to a leaking protection box (I can't remember the name of it but it started with a p). After 843 in parts and 816 in labor and almost a month at the dealer due to a backordered wiring harness the problem was fixed. After doing some research we have discovered that this is an epidemic among Volvo owners and we are actually one of the lucky ones whose car died while it was parked instead of while we were driving! this is ridiculously dangerous and the fact that this leaking box is a common problem and that Volvo has actually developed a redesigned model to fix the issue with their first gen model leads me to believe that they should be forced to replace their faulty design in all of their Xc90s. As someone who bought her Volvo for its reputation for safety, I am disgusted that this problem has been allowed to go on for so long.
