Anti skid service required
Oh dear.............. first my wife's S40 a few years ago, and now my V50!
Usual exchange of calls/e-mails between Volvo and it has resulted in their refusal to do more than offer 50% contribution to the replacement of the Brake Module. (leaving a bill of £408 to me!) Personally I'm not happy with that and told them so. Volvo say it is due to lack of 'Brand Loyalty' (despite my wife and I owning 6 Volvo's in the past!) This decision is actually based on the fact that following the end of warranty period, I now have them serviced an alternative garage at one third the price. The other factor they cite is the 'amount of use I have had out of the car' prior to the fault being identified. Personally that a bit of a get-out as it could fail at any time - just luck really! I have refused to pay, and now Volvo tell me it is dangerous to drive the car as the brakes may fail. My thoughts are: This is clearly a 'known' problem (28400 hits on Google) If this does render the car 'dangerous' to use, surely it should be subject of a recall? I am now in communication with VOSA to see what can be done as Volvo are refusing to budge on the 50%. Watch this space. Not a happy bunny!!! |
