What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 volvo s60. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, there was a loss of steering control and the rear end spun uncontrollably. The dynamic traction control failed to activate and the vehicle crashed into the curbside, causing damage to the front driver and passenger's side wheel rims. In addition, the rear driver's side rim and front bumper was damaged. There were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing.
My car doesn't notify me that the engine oil is low. Last year, I drove all the way to mississippi without it warning that the oil was lo with barely any oil on the dip stick. We stopped to check it when we got gas and that is how we knew. It has been low several times this year without notifying me. I have to constantly check the oil to ensure there is enough in there. It does not have an oil leak as there is no oil on the concrete.
