2016 Volvo Recall Class-Action Suit

I totally agree. The best way for Volvo to mitigate their damages though, it's to not respond to you, in fear of opening mouth, inserting foot. Frankly, I think they already realize they are doomed to a class-action, so waiting for someone to fire the first shot. Cheaper for them to resolve one case that covers the class, then what it could be individually, with the likelihood that most won't file individually. They aren't going to address damages until they are forced to, sorry to say. But that's my opinion, and frankly what I would do in their shoes.

 

So, what you're saying is, this recall is the equivalent of a blown tire!?! Really!? If I had a blown tire, I would still have marginal steering control, I know, had several of them! But I would still be able to rotate my steering wheel to pull my tractor off the side of the road and have an instant repair done, on the side of the road, in a matter of an hour, with no special parts having to manufactured, no down time other than that hour, which may cause me to be late, but not LOSE that revenue all together, for weeks on end, as I have, or wait for Michelin to develope a new tire!

You're argument is ridiculous!

Volvo has now issued 2 recalls for the same problem, getting it wrong both times, adding more levels of required repairs and third on the way! This recall is so bad, DOT is even demanding these trucks off the road until certain interim repairs are made, with parts btw that are also not readily available, yet YOU think this is the equivalent of a blown tire! SMH!

 

And btw, I don't care if they had ZERO failures, being proactive would be to not use the same flawed design and parts they used 10 years ago that created a recall of the like manner of over 68,000 trucks, where there were deaths and injuries! Do your research before commenting next time please.

 

How shameful of me to demand the make me whole after spending $179,000 of my hard earned money on their product! How shameful of me to demand they not continue to use a decade old method with the same failed parts that caused a recall 3 times the size of this one! How shameful of me to not feel sorry for the manufacturer that has on countless occasions put me and the motoring public in danger.

Look, this is not just a bad tire, or faulty ECM, or crappy stereo parts. The level and seriousness of this recall is far more detrimental. Why in hell should I praise Volvo for proactiveness when this has been an issue with their trucks for the past 10 years, and remains unfixed! The only thing I am guilty of is not doing more thorough research on them before buying. Call it buyers remorse if you want, but at the end of the day, I am stuck with this disaster, and suffering financially as a result, and I refuse to put them on a pedestal and glorify them as if they are some OEM God because they caught this early on, when they really didn't! Research the topic sir before reacting. I have.

 

As a former real estate broker from Alabama, where "caveat emptor" (proper spelling btw) is prevelant, and the only state to acknowledge it, buyer beware DOES NOT cover LATENT defects such as this, for one. For two, it does not cover WARRANTEED items. Look it up and know what you are talking about.

Everyone is a lawyer these days.
