"Actually, I feel that I have had more headlight/tail light issues than I would expect. I removed it and sent it out to get rebuilt. "Instrument cluster was sporadically dead. This was the “main computer” for the car and it cost around $1200 to replace." But continued after the battery was replaced. Needed to have front struts, sway bar links and crankshaft sensor and mount all replaced during past year to resolve problem and make wagon the smooth-riding vehicle it is." "Vibration pretty continuous at highway speeds. Otha cars needed >$3000 or front suspension work before 75,000 miles" This is my second Volvo, first was a FWD 850. "Front suspension of the Volvo AWD and FWD is problematic. Steering linkage (includes rack and pinion) It was time to replace it, never a safety problem as of the time of replacement." "Had one slightly leaking front Electronic strut in my 4C system. Now that the car is older shocks wore out and had to be replaced a second time after 100k miles of driving." About three years after owning it the shocks needs to be replaced on one side. "I have owned this vehicle since the beginning. Haven't decided whether to replace myself or pay ~$300 labor to independent Volvo mechanic due to hassle of serpentine belt reinstallation." Part costs varies widely from $250 rebuilt Bosch unit from online Volvo parts specialist to over $500 for new Bosch unit from Volvo dealership.

"Volvo steering racks seem to fail more rapidly than other makes" "Lower control arm bushings are worn out in 100,000 miles" Turns out, 12 years appears to be how long the rubber lasts in these parts before wear or dry rot requires their replacement."

An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year. N/A indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. Our subscribers provide great insights into their satisfaction by answering one simple question: If they had it to do all over again, would they definitely buy or lease the same model? In addition, respondents also rate their cars in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio, and climate systems. To learn about satisfaction, CR has collected survey data from our annual survey on more than half a million vehicles. Based on this data and further analysis, we predict reliability for the latest year. Extra weight is given to the more serious areas such as major engine or transmission problems. The results are presented relative to the average model that year. Consumer Reports subscribers reported on any serious problems they had with their vehicles during the past 12 months that they considered serious because of cost, failure, safety, or downtime, in any of the trouble spots included in the table below. The reliability charts are based on responses on hundreds of thousands of vehicles from our latest Annual Auto Survey.
