| Most recent is an upper idler arm went causing the timing belt to skip damaging the motor: cost 4k to fix or 5k to install a used motor. pressure test came back (no pressure)pistons are ok. sunroof caved in on my head. i did get cutup with the glass. car stalled, need new alternator, fuel link shield fell off bottom of car causing the fuel line to drag on road. i had to tape the rubber fuel line up until garage to install a new shield. passenger side safety belt linkage broke (no passenger side seat belt) there are other 'routine maintainence' tires/brakes/ etc that i did have done. i've take good car, but these large ticket items continue. there are always lights out somewhere on this car. one of the tire rims cracked and i need a new one (dangerous to drive highway with that). i did not think volvo would except something like this, when i brought the car to gengris volvo dealer they told me that that 'would not touch' this car and trade-in was not an option. this car is worthless what with all these problems. they told me that this model (2000/2001) of the s80 t6 are lemons and should never have been made road worthy. is there anything you are able to do... i still owe 13k on this worthless car. i should have never bought a volvo - this is my second and and very willing to share this with other potential buyers if nothing is dome by volvo with this matter... there are more problems i can share if you are interested. *tr | |||

| Re: volvo s80 t6 2001 have had engine surging for a while. now the transmission failed with a major meltdown and damage. always did frequent maintenance. also had a catalytic converter go out. must be a defect. saw others with similar problems on line. *tr | |||
