This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Transmission problems causing dangerous driving conditions. The transmission slips when going between 2nd and 3rd. Also had issues with the engine going to 700 rpms when going 65 mph. This is just one of the many problems. The solenoid went out in the transmission about 13000 miles ago. Currently I have three different error codes "transmission service urgent", low oil pressure stop engine asap", and "emission service required". I have read many other people have the same problems I have had.
Underhood wiring harness is protected from heat/elements by a convoluted tubing. The convoluted tubing has become very brittle, turned to powder and fallen off the harness leaving the harness unprotected. Volvo is apparently using a tubing plastic underhood that cannot withstand heat! the wiring harness on my car is now left unprotected and will likely suffer premature failure similar to every other major system on this car.
