MY ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE CONSTANT CORROSION PROBLEMS ON TPS THAT LEAD TO MULTIPLE REPLACEMENTS ON MY VEHICLE. IT WAS DISCOVERED DURING SEMI ANNUAL CHANGEOVER OF WINTER AND SUMMER TIRES, WHERE ONE OF THE WHEELS AND TIRES DEFLATED DUE TO CORROSION OF THE TPS. COSTLY PART THAT IS LIKELY DEFECTIVE IN DESIGN AND IF FAILED ON ROADWAY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FLAT TIRE AND VEHICLE ROADWAY INCIDENT. THIS IS A REPEATED PROBLEM...

THE AXLES ARE ALREADY NEEDING TO BE REPLACED ON THE FRONT WHEELS. THERE IS ONLY 68,000 MILES ON THEM. THE AUTO SHOP SAYS IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THAT TO BE HAPPENING. NOT TO MENTION THERE IS A WHOPPING PRICE TAG FOR THE PARTS!!

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2012 Volvo XC60 Polestar Engineered T8 verdict →
