Stay away from Volvo!!

volvos are junk... thankyou for reading to this public service announcment

 

Sounds like there's some underlying issues not revealed. Why anyone in their right mind would fork over 23 grand on a truck that is supposedly under warranty is suspect from the get go. Just sayin'.

 

What did you expect volvos have always been junk you want quality buy paccar and ride in style

 

What is the point of a warranty when you have to fight to get something covered, all the while your payments are still due? And $135 for a new volvo? You could of had a new Paccar for that.

 

Lol, oh I know plenty of guy's that would refute that statement. Like anything else, you get good ones and bad ones.

 

Yeah, need to know what type engine and what kind of trouble.

 

D13 is "hot" engine, operation temperature up to 103 DGR C

 

It's could be how it's governed from what I've heard. I drove Volvo's and they break at the higher speeds. Also, I didn't have much luck keeping it at 62 mph around sharp turns on some highways. The volvo's that I drove like 55 mph which is a good speed when hauling at almost max capacity. I don't think they can ever completely fix your problem. I've driven other brands of trucks and they hug the highway at top speeds (180 mph). It also can be the instability cause by the cab not being attached solidly to the frame. You have airbags and shocks, at volvo's top speed something inside breaks and they don't fix it. You can rock the cab while it's at a standstill. It's really unstable in high winds. I don't know how I made it to some of my final destinations. All of this modern technology is good in theory but not so practical. Good Luck to you!
