What owners wrote

Leak in gas tank of 2001 volvo s-80. Told by ramsey volvo that it was caused by a "road hazard"-that we must have hit something that caused the puncture to the side of the gas tank even though we were traveling down a major highway from boston to new york and we were unaware of any incident

January 2002

I own a 2001 volvo s 80. It died on the highway in the middle of busy rush hour traffic. Had it towed to volvo and repaired. Need a new throttle body and mass air flow sensor. Very expensive repair and was told off the record that this part failure has been much more common than it should be. I am notifying you so that you will look into manner. Seems this should be a recall item. Thank you.
