Your Volvo is Likely to
Have These 5 Common Issues
Remember that the plan is not only to know these issues but also what to do when they happen. Hence, the following are the top 5 issues most Volvos experience:
- Electrical Glitches: Volvo vehicles, especially older models, can sometimes experience electrical glitches, such as faulty sensors, malfunctioning modules, or intermittent electrical problems. Regular maintenance checks can help catch electrical issues early on before you get that dreaded domino effect.
- Headlight Issues: Another issue you may face is when your headlight starts to dim or does not come on entirely. Headlight bulbs can burn out prematurely, or the assembly may develop issues like fogging or cracking. So, to prevent sudden issues (especially at night), replace burned-out bulbs promptly with high-quality replacements. Also, use a headlight sealant or protective film to reduce the risk of damage from rocks, debris, and UV rays. Then, clean your headlights regularly to remove dirt and grime that can impair visibility.
- Excessive Oil Consumption: Some Volvo models may experience excessive oil consumption, which worn engine components or faulty seals can cause. To prevent this, adhere to the recommended oil change intervals to keep your engine lubricated. Also, high-quality oil should be used that meets Volvo’s specifications. Additionally, check the oil level regularly and top it off if necessary.
- Suspension Problems: Over time, Volvo’s suspension components can wear out, leading to issues such as excessive noise, poor handling, and a rough ride. To keep your car running smoothly, have your suspension system inspected regularly by a qualified technician. Avoid driving over potholes and other road hazards to minimize stress on the suspension. Finally, worn suspension components should be replaced promptly to prevent further damage.
- Faulty Fuel Injectors: Faulty fuel injectors can cause poor fuel economy, decreased engine performance, and rough idling — all of which make for a greatly decreased driving experience. While most Volvo car owners don’t know this, it is important to use only high-quality fuel to minimize the risk of injector damage. You can also talk to your mechanic about the benefits of using a fuel injector cleaner in the system periodically.
