I purchased my car on april 20, 1993 at snell volvo now volvo of richardson.the next day i was traveling out of state and noticed that the car was pulling to the side so i took it to a volvo dealership in monroe, la.after that time i took the car back several different times due to the same proplem.the dealer could never get it to repeat the action.i had to have my tires replaced nearly at every 20k miles.they would simply blow out.each time i was told that i needed an alignment because the car would never align properly.i made several complaints, but to no avail.then on saturday, april 18, 1999 i took the car to a non volvo dealer to have it aligned. It had just been to the volvo shop a couple of week prior for a 5k service check.i was told that the car could not be aligned and that i needed to take it to the volvo dealership because the strut rod was bent.i proceeded to take the car to the dealership , but i could not steer the car.the tail rigorously moved from side to side and i thought it was going to cause an accident.i pulled off the road and call a tow truck.after the truck arrived we could clearly see that a long metal part which we thought was the frame was cleanly broken.i was told that i probably would have been killed if i had continued to drive that car.i reported this to the volvo headquarters and stated that i had always had problems with the car not being aligned and that it should have been detected during maintenance checks and i was referred back to the dealership to take records from the past 6 years.i could have been killed and i would like your office to investigate.
