The automobile is still at Jim Ellis Volvo Mall of Georgia not being repaired because Volvo USA has declined to assist. The problem with the steering has been vocally delivered to me by service department as the Universal Joint in the steering column has failed. This is a large expense which I should not have to be responsible for with at car this early in it's life, 85K.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT,IT VIBRATES. NOW FEELING MORE VIBRATIONS FROM ENGINE/STEERING WHEEL WHEN ACCELERATING. VOLVO USA/SWEDEN TECHS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED. IT IS NOW DEC. 2018. MOTOR/TRANSMISSION MOUNTS,STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATOR,POWER STEERING PUMP/PULLEY REPLACED,ENGINE TORQUE MOUNTS ADJUSTED.BEING TOLD THIS IS "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THIS ENGINE.BETWEEN 2008 TO 2014 THE 2.3L ENGINE, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR THE LANDROVER, WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR THE XC. THE ENGINE CABIN WAS DESIGNED FOR THE 5 CYC. VOLVO HAS DETERMINED THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THE VIBRATION, PERIOD. THEY SAY NO SAFETY,ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, DRIVE TRAIN CONCERNS. I'M CHAGRINED THIS IS ACCEPTABLE TO THEM. HAS BEEN SERVICED 9 DIFFERENT TIMES BETWEEN 5/18 TO 12/18.

Reading this record
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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
