MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ORANGE LOW LEVEL OIL LIGHT COMING ON BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, IN MY 2010 VOLVO S80, FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. ON OCCASION, THE RED LIGHT HAS APPEARED AS WELL IF I DON'T ADD OIL FOR MY WIFE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THAT NEITHER MY DEALER NOR CORPORATE HAVE BEEN HELPFUL WITH RESOLVING.

DEALERSHIP CHECKED CODES AND INDICATED IT WAS THE SAME EXACT PART. I HAD THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S SERVICE HISTORY FOR THE CAR AND DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND ANOTHER DEALERSHIP HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE SAME SEATBELT ASSEMBLY. SO INSTEAD, THE CURRENT DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE ENTIRE SRS SYSTEM. TWO DAYS LATER THE FAULT MESSAGE RETURNED AGAIN. THE CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME NOW AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT A MONTH. THEY ARE NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT SUSPECT THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR AREA. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE QUITE A BIT AND HAVE DISCOVERED A RECALL INVOLVING THE CONNECTION FOR THE C...
