Tire Pressure Monitoring System Problems of Volvo XC90

July 4, 2010 in reply VIN# [xxx] Volvo cars of north America customer care center 1volvo drive rockledge, NJ 07647-0914 dear Volvo cars of north America, subject: Volvo Xc90 warranty/safety issue I have returned my Volvo Xc90 on several occasions for electrical system related problems to include three separate incidents of the position indicator light burning out, multiple bulb failures and tire pressure system warnings. My Volvo repair shop told me that these were unrelated normal repairs and that I should not be concerned after the latest incident of the tire system malfunction I took my vehicle to a local repair shop who troubleshoot my vehicle, put the vehicle on a lift and showed me a wiring harness that was wet from being located directly underneath the vehicles ac I believe this is a manufacturers defect. The wiring harness has already developed rust which indicates consistent water immersion and I was told this should be a cause for concern as this situation could lead to electrical system failure, shorts, shocks or vehicle fire. I am requesting that this issue be fixed and some type of warranty extension be provided to protect from any future repairs that may be caused by this defect.

While driving my 2005 Volvo Xc90 (54,414 miles) on a busy California freeway (the 405), the engine stopped suddenly with no warning or warning light. Fortunately, I was able to make it over to the side of the road to call for a tow without injury (although I was almost rear ended since the failure was so sudden and without warning) and had it towed to a Volvo dealer in torrance, CA. It is a transmission problem. Since then, we have found hundreds of other consumers who have had the same problem with their Xc90 Volvos too. Volvo has not recalled or provided any notice to consumers of the problem. Volvo has provided replacement trades and cash to some consumers who complained, but no overall notice to consumers. We didn't find out until it happened to us and started to research. Additionally, the week before, the front left tire blew out when my wife was driving and I was out of town. Uneven tire wear, uneven wear even with constant realignment, is another common issue with the 18" tires on Volvo. They know of the issue, but not how to fix it. Volvo did at least send a tow truck to put the spare on and my wife was not injured (fortunately). We didn't know of the safely flaws in the Xc90 which was purchased because of Volvo's marketing campaign of "safety" and "Volvo for life" campaign. Volvo is advertising falsely and the Xc90 has safety issues. Please help protect others!.
