Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
In the past two years, my car has had 3 wheel sensors fail. When a wheel sensor fails while driving, things can get dangerous. When this happens, the following systems immediately fail in a chain reaction of events: ABS system, ESC Control, tire pressure monitoring, and loss of power. It’s dangerous when it happens on the road because the brakes are not working and the accelerator won’t accelerate. I have to pull off the road immediately to get out of the way of traffic. This is the 3rd time it’s happened and I’ve only driven the car 9k miles since I bought it. That’s a very high fail rate for a seemingly important piece. The 3rd incident also triggered a “transmission service required” message. This car only has 37,600 miles on it. I rarely drive it. This should not be happening unless Volvo is using defective parts.
