Am radio quit working several years ago. I complained to Volvo of America and I've lodged a complaint previously with NHTSA regarding the safety factor with the radio not locking onto any am station. It is my concern that in the event of a national emergency I would not be able to receive the alert. I am, also, not able to tune to local area station for emergency traffic reports. My vehicle, with this problem, is not of an isolated condition. I have checked with a Volvo dealership and the person hearing of my problem stated that it is a common, and expensive, situation that has plagued Volvo cars. Numerous statements from fellow Volvo owners have made the same complaint on computer websites. Thank you for your time and assistance. The date below is only an estimation or a guess.
The contact owns a 2008 Volvo XC70. The contact stated that the stereo failed to activate. The contact mentioned was concerned that the am station failed to activate and became concerned for his safety because he was unable to receive safety alerts. The failure occurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
