2006 Volvo S40 Complaints

WE HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING RAIN SHOWERS ON THE WAY TO WORK THE VOLVO TWICE HAD ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD LIGHT UP BUT THE CAR DID NOT STALL. I WAS AFRAID THE AIR BAG MIGHT DEPLOY. AS SOON AS I GOT HOME I HAD MY HUSBAND CHECK TO SEE IF HE COULD LOCATE THE PROBLEM. HE FOUND WAS THAT THE CARPET WAS SOAKED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE .AND THE. WIRING RUNNING UNDER THE CARPET WAS ALSO WET. WE HAVE NOT MOVED THE CAR AND ARE TRYING TO DRY EVERYTHING. IT HAS ALSO CONTINUED TO RAIN OFF AND ON. MY HUSBAND HAS FOUND SOME INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET WHICH COULD BE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM AND WILL TRY TO SEE IF THIS MIGHT BE THE SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEM. *TR

WATER LEAKED INTO MY VEHICLE THROUGH THE SUNROOF, DESTROYED THE COMPUTER AND AIR AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE CARPETS ARE SOAKED WITH STANDING WATER SITTING IN THE BODY OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE SUNROOF DRAINAGE TUBES WHERE CLOGGED. I WAS THEN QUOTED A PRICE FOR REPAIRS WHICH TOTALED IN EXCESS OF $2000.00. *TR

VEHICLE PASSENGER REAR FLOOR FLOODING CONTINUOUSLY. ONE DAY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULDN'T TURN OFF AND NONE OF THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WOULD WORK, NO POWER WINDOWS OR LOCKS. DROVE TO VOLVO, THEY STATED CLOGGED SUNROOF DRAIN AND THAT FLOORMAT HAD AFFECTED THE ECM UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN. THEY CLEARED DRAIN AND CLEANED FLOOR FOR $1K. A YEAR LATER THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT FLOOR STARTED FLOODING. EXPERIENCED MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SINCE. INCLUDING AN INSTANCE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE POWER STEERING SEEMED TO GO OUT AND THE CAR STALLED. THE SCREEN TOLD ME TO PULL OVER SAFELY. VERY SCARY. *TR
