Hi have a 2000 Volvo S80 with about 67,000 mi on. I live in Wisconsin and it was about 17 degrees outside, so it was a cold one. When I turned my car on the defrost made a loud vibrating noise when on high. I could feel the vibrations when I held onto the steering wheel as well. When the heat is on, it does the same thing. This happens when the heat or defrost is turned up more than half way. Any clue to what this loud vibrating noise is when I turn my heat/defrost on? Thanks Much! |

Replying to: r_vargas (Jan 16, 2008 4:55 am) The interior of this car is much too dark at night for my taste. Compared to other cars, the ceiling LED ambiente lights in the S80 are useless. Is it possible to make them bighter?

I have a 2007 S80 and have a "pop" when my cars makes some turns. Two dealers say this is the wheel stops and is normal on hard turns. However, I will hear the pop at times when making a normal turn, not a hard turn. Dealer can not find anything wrong, but this just doesn't seem right to me. It is very annoying. Of course, like all sounds, it doesn't do it for the dealer. Has anyone else had this problem?

I learned to my dismay after having a flat tire that the 2007 S 80 does not have a spare tire of any type. I consider this a serious oversight and potentially hazardous on a car that promotes safety features. The dealer didn't mention it and I haven't read much about this issue. Other Volvos do have a spare tire. Roadside assistance can't help without the spare and their only option is to tow the car to an authorized Volvo dealer, but there is only 1 in Utah. This could lead to a tow of hundreds of miles and some danger being stranded somewhere. The jack and tools are in the car. I advise all to buy the spare tire as the inflator kit is confusing and may not solve the particular problem and a tow could be inconvenient and time consuming (esp. if weekend and dealer is closed).
