Hello to everyone.I need some help.I have a 2012 Volvo S60 T5 hade to change the engine because it went at 55000 miles I sure you know this year burns oil and has no warning light.anyway just put in another 2012 motor 5k 3000 miles later the alternator goes 1k went to pock it up check engine light is still on.the mechanic says now there is a miss fire in cylinder 2 then he says it says missalined driveshaft.then tells me it's ok to drive the car bring it back next Tuesday so he can look at it again.HELP I am afraid to drive the car can anyone tell me what's going on? I am at my wit's enf

 

Why not take it to another mechanic. At least to get a second opinion.

 

I need someone who knows the codes to help

 

So the burning oil thing is common knowledge?

My 2012 S60 was totaled a week ago (not my fault btw lol) - and would go through oil like crazy. I would have to add 4 qts once every 2-3 months > it would puff out white smoke when pressing the gas or in idle sometimes...all that. Took it to a Volvo dealership and the mechanic acted like I was crazy. He could see no leaks or anything. Also asked the place that changes my oil to take a look and they also couldn't see anything.

Was planning on getting rid of it this year anyway so I didn't explore any further. But yeah that was kind of a pain.

 

Yes everyone knows now that it's burns oil.Volvo especially that's why the changed the oil spec to synetic.But instead of letting the owners of this car.They kept it quiet Bastards.There was a class action suit against Volvo but it just mysterious fell apart and the law firm dropped it.Then I found out there iseni even a low oil light in that model.anyone who bought that model 2012 S60 t5 got screwed and there is nothing we can do about it.The big car company screws the little guy and we have to take it.so unfair

 

I know this is an old post, but I had (still have) a Volvo S60 2013 T5; mysterious, catastrophic engine problems at 125K miles.
Volvo told me $8000 for a new engine but other mechanics said it'd be that much, too, for their work.
Wondering if ever got resolution?

 

The the basic answer to this question I spoke to a VP over at Volvo headquarters he basically told me to go screw myself and there is nothing that they could do or would do because there are new owners to the company and they were not taking responsibility for having a low oil or no oil light on that particular model. I found out the hard way that glo tho is a spineless company who's that's not stand behind their product and screws the owners of their product unless it fits under their very specific guidelines. I mean my motor blew up because there was no oil and there was no indicator light at all let me know this this was two months after an oil change so horrible I hate even to remember back the email that the ***** vice-presidents at me saying is is there anything else you can do for me. Yeah you can give me the $8,000 it would cost to put in a new engine because you had a design floor that year that was Major knew about it and never let the public now but since you have such a big lawyers and your pocket and I'm just a poor guy who bought a bad car I can't afford to fight you so I got screwed. So there's nothing that Volvo is going to do for you absolutely nothing they do not stand behind their product it's made in China for Christ's sake should not tell you enouge
