| The car was purchased new from an authorized volvo dealer. after little over 12k miles, there is sever paint damage on the entire surface of the car. the paint appears to be bubbling from underneath. requires $8609.66 to repair. volvo only warrantee the paint for 12k miles but advertises the car having 48 month 50k miles warrantee. volvo states that the car must be dried every time it gets wet (including wiping the car dry after it rains). they have given me the following excuses for why the paint is damaged: 1) water (e.g. rain) 2) sprinkler water 3) acid rain 4) pesticides i have other cars much older than this car which do not have similar paint damage. | |||

| The active cruise control stops for no reason. this problem is intermittent. on a number of occasions (~20 times since i picked up the car), the car slows down as the traffics slows down. the car is almost at a stop (5-10 mph) and the emergency brakes comes on, the cars brakes hard & stops and the parking brake turns on. the alert cruise control unavailable show in the diplay. thereafter the cruise will not engage. after i shut off the car and restart it, the cruise again works again. in addition to not performing as advertised, this represents a safety hazard | |||
