#1792 of 1807 Bad Suspension by sofienyc

Sep 10, 2010 (10:08 pm)

I have a 2008 V50 with 24K miles on it and want to know if anyone out there is experiencing this problem:

Traveling no faster than 50mph on a typical NYC highway, the car floats across like a 1969 Buick with no control and bouncing from side to side. The ride is totally uncomfortable even on suburban roads out on LI. I have brought it to the dealer and of course they cannot find anything wrong. I want to get rid of this car, if I cannot get it fixed, it is dangerous and as a former V40 owner, not the norm. Any suggestions?

sofienyc: WHOA! This does sound dangerous, not only to yourself but to other drivers on the road. The dealer's tech appears to be either an idiot or totally incompetent...get a SECOND OPINION! In other words, FIRST seek out another dealer in your area (this should be warranty stuff), or if no results there, a qualified independent shop that knows Volvo suspensions (keep your receipt for warranty reimbursement from Volvo). It would be tragic to dump an otherwise fine vehicle just because a dealer doesn't know what's going on. Keep it, but get the right person to fix it! volvophile/vwdawg

#1794 of 1807 Volvo s40 valet keys by jrb13

I have a 2006 Volvo s40 with no valet keys. I have the remotes, but no valet keys for either. I suppose the dealer has to make these (i didn't buy from the dealer). How much should I expect to pay to have these made? Thanks Joe

It's only an uncut blank so your local Volvo dealer should sell it reasonably cheap...unlike the remote key that is VERY expensive.

If you leave the ignition on for two hours won't that kill the new battery?
