Re: Vibrations @55-80mph

Sad to see more and more problems popping up. I have been there... - Roadforce balancing - Skidplate removed against possible vibrations under the car - 4 different sets of rims (and sizes) and tires tested - Being told “i font feel anything” by national Volvo service guy... - Testdrove fwd, 4wd, r-...

Re: Vibrations @55-80mph

I do not have The dynamic suspension option. It was just Volvo’s answer to The vibrations. “It is normal sir, it is a new type of car with a dynamic ride. Vibrations are extra noticeable due to the scilent Interior...” and more of such crap arguments for failing to solve the problem on my car.

Re: Vibrations @55-80mph

No solution has been offered by Volvo. As ordering a new XC40 wouldn't guarantee a vibration free ride I decided to switch to BMW X1. Disappointed in Volvo.

Re: Vibrations @55-80mph

i've given up hope. My car was at the garage and Volvo NL for 1,5 month! And although wheels have been balanced, tires been changed, different rims and what more... The problem is present or worse as ever. To be honest I am astonished the dealer even gave the car back to test as it is clearly not so...

Re: AdBlue Consumption

About 11.000 kilometers it gives a sign to refill the Adblu within 2000 km's. So about 8000 miles maximum range with the D3.

Re: Too many defects

Curious, "8. You can hear and feel the air coming in cabin while driving in high speeds. " Is this flowing air, or air pressure you feel. As I struggle with my dealer and Volvo NL in explaining my car seems to generate cabin pressure as if a window is open, which generates an irritating so...

Re: Vibrations @55-80mph

19" continental summer, nokian winter on 19" V90CC rims. The problem is not tire or rim related i strongly expect. As I tested with different rims and tires and the wheels have been professionally balanced. Volvo stated the resonating sound is due to the "dynamic" chassis. It is ...

Re: Vibrations @55-80mph

Well, I find it hard to believe this resonance can be considered normal or acceptable. Also so little people complaining here is astonishing, as I notice it every drive.

But I think there is no solution, as Volvo stated they will and cannot solve the resonance.
