This is where I am at. I bought my '16 Drive-E T6 a year ago as a dealer loaner and had the CPO warranty (7yr (from date of first service)/100k) added to it when I bought it. My V60 is just about 150 miles shy of 30k on the odo. The car has been flawless (mechnically and technically speaking) since I bought it with 6k on it. My main concern with it now that it is no longer a "new-feeling" car is what all is covered under this CPO warranty. The dealer can't seem to tell me anything and the brochure for the program is helpful, but very generalized. I want specific things and no gray area. For example, what happens if the super-charger grenades itself at 60k miles? Are the parts and labor covered for getting that repaired? What if the passenger-side rear door lock actuator goes bad? Is that covered under the CPO warranty? What happens if a taillight assembly looses 5 LEDs out of the group? Is that covered?

These are all questions I should've asked when I bought it and I'm not upset at all. I just want some clarification on what is covered and what isn't outside of the new vehicle limited warranty.

Looking back at some of the posts I saw this "It did have the recall for the plugs done but only as a precaution."

What is this about a recall for the plugs. My 2016 with about 30,000 on it has started a bit of ...well for lack of a better description it feels like it has a slight miss. Jumped on the highway yesterday to merge into traffic and it was as though something wasn't monitoring the pedal, I had to put more foot into it and then it took off.

Taking any of my Volvo's to the dealer has never been a fun option. One time on my V50 for the PCV warranty they were caught in an outright lie. If I didn't know about cars they would have gotten away with it!

So taking my certified car into the dealer I can hear it now --- everything is working as it should.

I don't understand a dealer's reluctance to address a warranty issue. So far as I know, they are reimbursed by Volvo for any needed work. On several occasions my local dealer has been pro-active in identifying and fixing warranty problems.
