SEAT HEATERS HAD TO BE REPLACED THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. DEALER STATED THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED, BUT VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. VOLVO DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME ONE FOR WHICH THE RECALL IS ISSUED. *AK *CB
THE TIRE IN QUESTION IS THE "DOUGHNUT" SPARE. IT WAS DISCOVERED TO HAVE SPLITS AND STRESS CRACKS WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE A PUNCTURED TIRE ON THE ABOVE DATE. I STILL HAVE THE DAMAGED SPARE IN MY POSESSION. I HAVE REPORTED THE FAILURE TO BOTH FIRESTONE AND VOLVO DEALERS. THE RESPONSE OF EACH WAS TO OFFER TO SELL ME A NEW SPARE. I HAVE REPLACED THE SPARE WITH A NEW FULL SIZE TIRE. (TIRESIZE: SPARE)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: SPARE )

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
