Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE BEARINGS IN THE INTEGRAL HUB/BEARING ON THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL (STEERING AXLE) FAILED AT 247,000 MILES. THIS IS A UNIT DESIGNED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, AND THERE IS NO MAINTENANCE POSSIBLE. THIS WAS A VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR SUCH A FAILURE. NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES WERE CAUSED BY THE FAILURE BECAUSE IT WAS NOTICED BEFORE THAT COULD HAPPEN, BUT SUCH A FAILURE COULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. WE PAID APPROXIMATELY $625 FOR PARTS, LABOR, AND SHIPPING FOR A NEW PART. THE DEALERSHIP REMOVED AN IDENTICAL HUB FROM A NEW TRUCK ON THE LOT AND REPLACED OUR HUB. I DOUBT THEY KEPT THE OLD HUB, ALTHOUGH THEY MIGHT HAVE. THIS WAS AT THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP IN VINTON, TX, I-10 EXIT 2 IN TEXAS.*AK
