Volvo Lemon Law Information
Is My Volvo a Lemon
The first step in the Volvo Lemon Law process would be to assess whether or not you actually have a lemon vehicle on your hands. As a consumer, you need to make sure you are aware of the basic criterion of any Volvo Lemon Law case and buyback program. First, the vehicle must still be under warranty. This is true for purchased, leased, new or old cars. Next, does the issue reduce the value of the vehicle or pose a risk to occupants or other drivers on the road? Your Volvo Lemon Law case has to fit one of those parameters. Lastly, it’s essential that you have already given the manufacturer a fair number of attempts to repair the mechanical issue before diving further into the Volvo Lemon law process.
Common Volvo Lemon Law Defects
Volvo is continuing to deal with an extensive and potentially dangerous defect with its emergency braking system. Volvo owners are complaining about problems with the automatic braking system (ABS), which is a huge safety concern.
The braking system in the XC60 and other models, such as the Volvo XC90 are failing to detect obstacles and not engaging when needed. As a result of numerous Volvo owners complaining about brake problems, Volvo has issued a recall which has left many VOLVO drivers in the United States feeling anxious over the faulty emergency braking system, which could cause the Volvo vehicle to suddenly stop.
The brake problems are common and Volvo has issued a recall for the forward collision system. According to the NHTSA campaign number 20V144000, more than 120,000 vehicles are equipped with software and hardware incompatibility that causes the AEB system to miss obstacles and not engage. It is much more likely that an accident will occur if this occurs.
Volvo has also has been inundated with complaints on a massive scale regarding the infotainment system. Many consumers report defects with the infotainment system and it not working properly. A common problem with the Volvo infotainment system is the failure of the display screen to display properly.
Volvo released a technical service bulletin addressing some electrical problems with the XC60. Service Bulletin TJ34618.6.0-2020 attempts to correct a screeching, scratching electrical noise owners hear when turning on the media system.
Numerous Volvo models have been affected so far and many are concerned that more models will be added to this list in the near future. Some popular Volvo models reported to have the defect include:
The Volvo Hatchback vehicles include the following:
- Volvo V90
- Volvo V60
- Volvo V40
The Volvo SUV Cross Country vehicles include the following:
- Volvo V60 Cross Country
- Volvo S60 Cross Country
- Volvo V40 Cross Country
The Volvo Sedan vehicles include the following:
- Volvo S90
- Volvo S60
Many car owners are familiar with Volvo infotainment issues and some have even taken to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to vent their frustration. One such common complaint reported to Edmunds read:
“For me the biggest con is the infotainment and nav system. The infotainment system controls a raft of features, down to surprisingly fine detail in some instances. But that makes it really complex and hard to navigate. It seems needlessly complex in some ways, like audio and other settings existing in two separate menus (somewhat different controls in each) and something as seemingly simple as setting and moving through favorite radio stations is completely unintuitive. I find the nav system confusing and the street labels do not match on occasion on the heads up display, which is an otherwise cool feature. I prefer waze or google maps thru Apple Car Play, even though for some reason it isn’t able to integrate with the heads up display. And the whole system is pretty slow to boot up”
If you are like many Volvo owners who have consistently experienced these transmission issues, you may be entitled to compensation under the PA LEMON LAW, NJ LEMON LAW, NY LEMON LAW, HAWAII LEMON LAW or the Magnuson Moss Warranty Improvement Act. Compensation may include a complete repurchase of your defective vehicle, a replacement, or a substantial cash reimbursement for damage the vehicle has already suffered due to the defect.
