2010 Volvo XC70 Complaints

OUR CAR HAS ABOUT 93,000 MILES ON IT. BEGINNING AT 60,000 MILES, THE CAR BEGAN TO USE AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE LOW OIL INDICATOR COMES ON AND WE NEED TO ADD ONE OR MORE QUARTS OF OIL AT EACH 3,000 TO 3,500 MILES. THE CAR DEALER TELLS US IT IS "NORMAL" FOR SOME CARS TO USE THIS AMOUNT OF OIL AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I NOTICED A RECALL NOTICETSB #TJ30021 COVERED SOME 2011 VOLVO XC 70S FOR OIL LOSS. WHY DOES IT NOT COVER THE 2010 CARS? THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. HAVE THERE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE? I HAVE RECORDS FOR MY OIL CHANGES FROM THE CAR DEALERSHIP.

SAFETY ISSUE THE TIRE PRESSURE LABEL ON OUR XC70 (VIN: [XXX]) LIST THE PROPER TIRE PRESSURE AS BEING 33 PSI. AT THIS PRESSURE THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. THIS RENDERS THE FEDERAL MANDATED TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ESSENTIALLY NON-FUNCTIONING AND PLACES THE DRIVER AT RISK. VOLVO OF NORTH AMERICA HAS REVIEWED THIS ISSUE AND HAS CONFIRMED THE 33 PSI VALUE, NOT THE HIGHER VALUE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, IS CORRECT. VOLVO HAS CONFIRMED THEIR RECALL TO REPLACE THE INCORRECT 33 PSI LABELS ON THE 08-10 XC70 DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE. SINCE PROPER TIRE PRESSURE AND THE TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM IS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN SAFE DRIVING, VOLVO NEED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THERE IS A VOLVO RECALL 226 (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #10V190000) TO REPLACE AN INCORRECT FMVSS LABEL THAT SHOWS TIRE PRESSURE OF 33 PSI AND TO REPLACE A PAGE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL THAT SHOWS THE PRESSURE SHOULD BE 35 PSI. THE CORRECT PRESSURE IS 36 PSI. THIS IS INFORMATION IS ALSO CONTAINED IN A LETTER FROM VOLVO TO NHTSA DATED 4 MAY 2010 (10V-190 3 PAGES). ACCORDING TO VOLVO, OUR XC70 (MFD 8/09) IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. HOWEVER, THE TIRE PRESSURE ON THE FMVSS LABEL AND LISTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL MATCH THE INFORMATION IN THE RECALL. SINCE THE INFORMATION ON THE FMVSS LABEL DOES NOT MATCH WHAT IS LISTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL FOR OUR XC70, VOLVO NEEDS TO 1) INCLUDE OUR XC70 IN THE RECALL OR; 2) ISSUE A NEW RECALL OR; 3) INFORM US HOW THE TWO DIFFERENT PRESSURES (ON THE FMVSS LABEL AND OWNERS MANUAL) ARE CORRECT. *JS

I HAD JUST PICKED UP THE CAR FROM THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS THERE FOR TWO WEEKS. I STOPPED FOR GAS AND DID SOME SHOPPING AND AS I WAS ENTERING HIGHWAY THE 'TIRE PRESSURE LOW' WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I THOUGHT IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO WORK THAT WAS DONE IN THE SHOP. I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY AND AS I WAS SPEEDING UP, I NOTICED THE NOISE COMING FROM THE WHEELS, NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A FLAT. THE FLAT WAS DUE TO TPMS VALVE STEM FAILING AND AS I WAS TOLD LATER BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE LOSS OF AIR WAS VERY QUICK AND THE 13 MONTH OLD TIRE WAS DAMAGED AFTER ONLY DRIVING ON LOW PRESSURE FOR LESS THAN A MILE. AS I UNDERSTAND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. AFTER I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED ALL TPMS SENSORS ON THE CAR DUE TO THE VOLVO TSB TJ-24767 DATED DEC 2011 TITLED 'TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM - TPMS SENSOR NUT CORROSION'. MY MAIN COMPLAINT IS THAT VOLVO KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NEITHER THEY TRIED TO REPLACE THE TPMS SENSO...
