    Mine didnt, i drove a 2011. The fender shake is from the tires. My tires started shaking the hood and i got tires replaced and it fixed it.

    If the hood is shaking, it us usually a tire issue, or possibly a bent rim or something like that. In any case, it can happen to any truck. Not just Volvos.

    I loved my volvo. I work for pepsi and they leased it from salem leasing. If buying be aware about the def filter might need changing. Mine had right at 200k and it had to be changed. I think its supposed to be changed around 400-500k. Not cheap job from what tech told me.
    Otherwise volvos are nice but get kind of cramped even with one person.
