2008 Volvo XC70 Complaints

TAILGATE LOCK WONT WORK SEEMS LIKE THE PIECE THAT SHOULD ENGAGE WITH THE PIECE ON THE FLOOR IS NOT

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. *TR

DESPITE FUEL GAUGE READING OVER 1/4 TANK CAR STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY AND NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION; THANKFULLY NO ONE HURT. DESPITE SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS ISSUE WITH 2008XC70 NO RECALL EVER ISSUED. SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO NHTSA, I BELIEVE A RECALL IS APPROPRIATE DUE TO THE OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS AND BECAUSE THIS ONLY HAPPENS TO THE 2008 MODEL- OBVIOUSLY IT WAS FIXED ON ALL THE FUTURE MODELS.
