2001 Volvo S80 consumer reviews

I bought mine used in 2005, and it has been very reliable. Lately, a light bulb goes out here and there, and it's similar to solving a mystery to locate which bulb is out. I've punched it up to 96 mph on country roads, among other things, and it can move. This is the most luxurious car I've owned, and I've had quite a few. I'll be sad to give this one up.

Does something not go wrong with the car every time its driven. The car needed a new fuel pump, engine stabilizer bracket, front end alignment, new heat/ac system, new breaks, about 25 new breaklights and taillights, and a new oil pan, and we had car alarm trouble, and we've only had the car for about two and a half years!!!!!!!! I think It's a smooth good looking ride, but a horrible car. It's scary to drive because you always have to worry about what mght break next! Do bot buy this car, I'm telling you right now!!!! it sucks every penny out of you. WAY TOO MANY HEADACHES OVER THIS CAR!!! I don't know whay I bought it. Not a smart decision!

This car has been my worst nightmare. I feel like I?m dating the repair guy, that?s how often I see him. Every month it?s something else. There is always a message. Needs bulbs more often than my home does. The electric system fails. Sometimes I?m driving and the sun roof just opens, even in winter. I have had the transmission rebuilt The engine runs loud when air and heat is used. Leg room is at a minimum in back I own a 2001 Ford Windstar mini van I bought it used in 2003. Use it to lug kids , church stuff, and drive it more than the Volvo. I have only had to do routine maintenance and replace a battery. Not as pretty but more reliablility , better on gas no headaches. I would love to sell but nobody wants to buy.

We have a 2001 S80, the engine runs loud at an idol. The suspension EXTREMELY stiff, this isn't the best touring car. The car is TERRIBLE in the snow too. However, it does offer many likeable features at a great price. I would suggest getting an S80 that is a 2004 or newer. This looks like a good size car, but really, there is no leg room at all in the back seat and i am only 5'6". There are many annoying things about the car like a wierd squeak when we go over bumps. Also, when you turn on the AC or heat, the blower motor makes a wierd rumbling, growling sound. It does the same in friends S80. When the AC or heat is on high, the air whistles as it comes out of the vent. It does the same thing in my friends S80. The car also blows breaklights every 2 or 3 times we take it out. My 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is way better than this car for sure!!!

say any trouble and i've had it. lights, brake lights, abs system, throttle, brakes,e tc etc u name it ive fixed it on this car

My 2001 ,s80 is only 30,000 miles young but is giving me a lot of problems already. Problems like radiator oil cooler leaking into the transmission, jerky shifting, power steering hose bust, transmission support, rock and pinion replacement,all under chassis replacement, brake hydroback replacement, and a few more major repairs aside from constant visit to the shop due to a lot of message showing up on the message board, This car is a night mare to own. Im selling it but it seems nobody is interested. I wish you wont make the same mistake of buying volvo.

This car is beautiful, comfortable, spacious, and has saved the life of my husband and brother-in-law when they were involved in a side-impact crash at approximately 45 mph. They walked away with just whiplash and a headache. However, the car has been in the shop at least every other month since we purchased the car in April of 2004. Problems ranged from an oil leak to the throttle assembly, a cracked coolant hose, then 4 months later, a cracked coolant cylinder. The power door locks failed at 85,000 miles, and the car's ignition failed to recognize the car's key at 68,000 miles. At 75,000 miles, the gas gauge and gas tank float required repair/replacement. If I ever own another Volvo, I will make sure it is not my only source of transportation!

I would have no problem putting my loved ones in this vehicle it is a great car. Made from pure enginiering quality. I will never leave this vehicle.

it seemed to always need new bulbs somewhere,tail lights ,turn signal ,headlights,tag lights,and always had a message in the dash about emissions or bulb failure somewhere on the car it has used more bulbs than any vehicle i have ever owned
