      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      We signed a new lease on a Volvo XC60 in June 2022 to replace our other Volvo that we had been driving for 3 years. We opted for Volvo years back due to my wife having been in a near death car accident when she was younger, and Volvo consistently being advertised by them as the "Safest car you can get". The first lease we had with Volvo (From 2019-2022) was a great experience, but the car we received in June of 2022 starting having issues very early. At first it was issues like: Car wont start, AC is not working, Infotainment screen does not start up etc. Issues that were not directly safety related. Had the car for repairs a few times, but Volvo updated the software and said "Problem is resolved" - But it was not. In May of 2023 I started to experience more serious issues like: Car shutting off dashboard while driving, Cruise control shuts off without warning, Breaks malfunctioning, car shutting off while driving, blinkers not working. (Video evidence of some issues available). Again i turn it into service over the summer, and Volvo has the car for 2-3 weeks without providing a loaner. I receive the car back saying the issue is resolved - It was not. After having a near accident experience in the car when it shut down on the highway again, i turn it over to Volvo asking for a resolution, something that is not just "software update". Now after many months with a loaner car that is not my own Volvo has not repaired the car, but decided nothing is wrong with it despite the many incidents. They are offering me to sign a new and more expensive lease or take back my faulty car and receive monetary compensation to drive it until the lease ends.. I have no interest in putting my family at risk, not for any amount of compensation. At this point i am trapped in paying for a faulty lemon car i can not drive, or signing a new and more expensive lease that i can not and will not afford on a similar car at Boston Volvo

      My wife and I love our Volvos and have leased one for many years through multiple local dealers. Most recently in 2021 we signed up for another lease and we were told at the time we signed that any fees for wear and tear on the former leased vehicle would be waived if we signed the deal that specific weekend, which we did. In our experience this is common for a dealer to waive wear and tear, especially if you are signing up for a new 3 year lease.We were surprised then to be presented an invoice a few months later for $803.25 which was for the excess wear and tear we were told that we would not have to pay.My wife started some conversations without success, I reached out numerous times and the answer we received is that because it was not explicitly written ** in the paperwork, Volvo has no record of this, so youre out of luck, pay us. It has now come to our attention that this matter has been turned over to collections and could affect our stellar credit ratings. We are never paying this balance because it is not a valid charge. It never was a valid charge, we brought it up immediately, and we were lied to at the time of purchase. Please be aware that if doing business with the ** at Volvo Motors North, Danvers, (whose name I am prevented from using) make sure you get everything in writing because their word is meaningless. They make promises they do not keep.
