Complaint Summary
ENGINE
Owner Narrative
As part of routine scheduled maintenance for this car, it was determined that there is excessive oil consumption occurring in the engine which requires the piston rings to be replaced. In conversations with the Volvo dealership and other Volvo repair facilities, this appears to be a known issue with this make and model of Volvo. I purchased this car from the Volvo dealership and have taken it back to the dealership for every scheduled maintenance/servicing recommendation. An engine failure of this type with this low of mileage is concerning. Volvo has apparently acknowledged this issue for this make and model and has paid for the required repairs in some cases. I want to raise this issue so that future owners of this model of used car can be aware before purchasing this car.
