The sunroof on my volvo s80 exploded in the carwash under the dryer. I had it fixed and the people of the carwash association said volvo is to reimburse me but no one wants too.

I took my car to a car wash in feb. 2008 and the sunroof exploded. It cost me almost $1500.00 to fix. I sent in the documentation to the carwash association. They told me volvo will reimburse me. I pray they are right.

I own a 2000 volvo s-80. While proceeding through automatic car wash, the sunroof shattered during the blower/dryer operation. Car wash manager informed me that these models have a propensity to break at the same spot in the car wash process. He stated that volvo replaces the sunroof under warranty, but when I contacted volvo, they denied any knowledge of the problem.

Over the course of ownership of a 2000 volvo s80 (I.e., four years), I have the transmission overhauled at 67,000 miles;had the throttle replaced when my car choked ( luckily on a side street); had a bar on the sunroof drop off; engine mounts broken; wheel stops broken; and, most recently replaced an ABS panel. Not withstanding in any of these incidents is the cooling fan and ball joint replaced due to recall. Truly this car has been more expensive than any other known to be driven. Every trip to the dealership is easily $1000 plus. At the time of purchase, the research was scant in terms of problems. I have truly been dismayed by volvo's commitment to its product and is design flaws and/or defects. After, the transmission was corrected at the dealership, I went to trade the car in---to purchase another car. The dealership where I purchased the car basically would not give money on its trade. After several thousand dollars later in repairs, I am still fuming over a car that was purchased solely for the "historical" volvo standard and its commitment to safety.
