NHTSA complaint 11630735Every window in this truck leaks. The upholstery is water stained around and underneath every window. This , I found out is a common problem for Volvo trucks. Volvo knows about this problem as they had a recall in 2019 for this very problem. Volvo Corp office also acknowledged a current recall for this problem. Certain trucks qualified for repair under recall according to Volvo. Certain trucks do not qualify. Why is that ?? Water leaking around and down from a window can cause structure damage, electrical fires and problems along with damage to interior upholstery. I was told my particular truck did not qualify for dealer repair and that i needed to pay to have every window resealed. WHY? This is a safety hazard and a known problem. This should be the responsibility of Volvo to make sure their vehicles do not leak water. For the price we pay for these vehicles we should expect a quality made and safe vehicle to operate . I want help in getting this addressed for myself and every individual that has this problem. It is unsafe. I did contact Volvo at 2 dealers and the Corp office. I filed a complaint with the Corp office and yet to have received a response from them. The Somerset Pennsylvania Volvo dealer said they would call me back as well , no response. That dealer along with the Corp office acknowledged there is a problem with windows leaking.
