I drive a 2006 vnl volvo when the headlights are on dim you cannot hardly see the road most of the time especially when it is rainingi have spoken to many drivers with this same type of truck and they all say the same thing about the poor lighting system when on dim i have checked everything to try and figure out the cause or reason for this including how many volts are getting to the lights and even replacing the bulbs many times with different brands and using a higher wattage bulb with no better results many times i have almost been in a wreck because of this and would like to see volvo correct this problem i have driven this truck since it was new and it has always been this way.
Vehicle was inspected at a local shop where they advised that the drag link was on recall and it had to be replaced due to a safety issue. Drag link was in a very bad shape and i was advised that i was not to conduct driving in that condition. Repairs have been processed, now i need to be paid for the recall part. Please contact me directly for more information.vin: [xxx]yr: 2006model: vnlmake: volvoinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Dt*:the contact stated the tractor trailer's steering system pulled to either side while driving 65 mph on normal road conditions.the vehicle was taken to the dealership in many different states who determined alignment problems.the dealership did not have the proper equipment for heavy truck alignment so it had been referred to other companies with the specialized alignment equipment. After a short period of time, the vehicle was out of alignment again.the vehicle had been taken in for alignment nine times, however the problem persisted.also, the tread located in middle of both front tires were excessively worn out.the dealership determined the alignment as the source of this irregular wear.the third problem was on the semi rear axle, which was not parallel to the middle axle creating irregular angular displacement of the trailer, which entailed a serious risk to other vehicles on the road.the inner tire of the rear axle wore excessively indicating structural defect in the axle mounting.
