In the 70's I had 9 Volvo semi's tractors, a Volvo boat engine and car which had a problem with rust, on 6 month old car ?
I asked the dealer to fix it, getting no help from him I went to the UK Volvo distributor and got the same blank wall.
I gave them an option, fix the car or Volvo products will go, they actually laughed it off as a joke.
Over the next 18 months I traded them all away until all they were gone and wouldn't let the salesman back onto the premises and wouldn't touch anything Volvo with a 10 foot barge pole.
I've heard from Volvo users about engine electronics breaking down while out at sea and the exorbitant spares and service charges and I wonder why people still buy them ?
