2014 Volvo S60

  • Date of Incident: Feb-12, 2021
  • Date complaint filed: Jun-03, 2023
  • Failed components: ENGINE

I was driving my car and one day i got a warning to stop car immediately that there was no oil. I get regular oil changes and maintenance. I checked the oil and it was empty. There are no leaks, nothing burning out of the exhaust. I added oil and 2 weeks later same warning, i have to add oil 1-2 times a month. I took the car to volvo and they couldn’t find an issue. I took the car to family mechanic and he said there is a known issue w volvo cars pistons rings going bad and causing oil to burn. He said there is a class action law suit about this very thing. I took the car back to volvo dealer and they found the issue and want $8000 to correct it. Volvo knows about their faulty piston rings. They even acknowledged it at the dealer and told me to put something in my oil and keep adding oil monthly. They told me the car will be fine as along as i add oil. However i don’t feel i need to add oil to a car 1-2 times a month. I’ve also had error warnings that there is no coolant. Volvo also knows about this and refuses to correct or recall the car
