Front left axle shaft failed at 18,000 miles, producing noticeable noise and vibration when accelerating and turning to the right. The car has never been in an accident, nor has there ever been an incident (e.g., striking a curb) or other abuse that could have caused this failure. Fortunately I brought it into my local Volvo repair shop before further damage to the transmission and other connected parts. Test drive by the repair shop confirmed the vibration at various speeds and maneuvers. Cost to replace the axle was $1,056.75. I contacted the nearby dealer after diagnosis and before the repair. They said there was nothing they could do as the vehicle is out of warranty. I am in contact with Volvo corporate headquarters, who is saying the same thing. This is a defective product, not warranty, claim. It seems likely that this defect is not isolated to my vehicle.

Even after a repositioning and saving, or repositioning without saving, the mirror on left side is horizontally in a different spot. This is a safety issue as one usually expects mirrors to be where they were left previously using the mirror controls. Car has been into dealer multiple times for a fix which included both software and hardware attempts. Appears to be known problem based on on-line review. Mirror should stay in a fixed position unless driver wants to relocate. If not risk of visibility issue is large.
