| 33000 mi | Both axles were replaced under warranty. Also, front and rear brakes were replaced at no cost |

| 19000 mi | First steering spindle, |
| 14800 mi | Bracket added per Volvo - same steering spindle as first time. |
| 11000 mi | The left front wheel starting making a grinding noise. The service people at the dealership needed to replace the spindle on that wheel. Problem was then corrected. |
| 48000 mi | Front springs were making a noise. Volvo stated it was a known problem, upgraded spring design installed as a warranty repair. But ride height was off and the handling was negatively impacted. I insisted they replace the original springs. |

Sway bar links replaced, four wheel alignment |
| 54000 mi | In for sway bar/linkage repair. |
| 56500 mi | Still hearing crunching in front end. Dealer replaced strut bushings. Noise is gone. Also had dealer adjust heated seat temperature, as seat would not get hot. |
