People think Volvo Cars as a Swedish company. It’s was bought by Chinese company Gily now. Horrible customer service and product across the world. I had a very bad experience in Australia as well. Don’t go for any Chinese car, no customer service and poor quality.
@@SahlEbrahim not true, They are growing fast due to cheap prices. However I don't think they will be able to grow into developed market due to their poor quality. They are only selling cheap EV's of low quality. Have very poor customer service as well as poor quality. Significant drop in resale value as well, so what you save while buying, you end up loosing while selling.
@@nileshroy72 their high end EVs are also very good so it's not just about cheap products. Anyways I am not gonna waste my time with someone who can't not be biased about any country he doesn't like.
@@SahlEbrahim no that's because of their value proposition. My brother was so enticed by haval in Dubai because it's feature list was just brilliant compared to the competition. However he refrained from buying it after knowing it has reliability issues...
His only legal action after registration of vehicle is to file a consumer case against Volvo. Showroom can also be made a party. But what he's doing is waste of time...
Boss yeh log dealers hai. Yeh log defects car sell kar ke fir service ke name pe acha bill bana ye hai. Dealers actual facts ko hide karte hai. U pls take legal action to wards dealer along with Volvo as a party
True that. There are many judgements which force a company to refund full in case of a manufacturing defect. If what he is saying is true then it is a fit case for manufacturing defect
Maruti Suzuki gives better customer service than these folks. I own a Ciaz for 3 years and haven't had any problem so far. Yes, I agree the build quality is compromised but atleast I don't have to waste my time running around inexperienced staff. They can only apologize. Surprising to see Volvo creating a bad image. Firstly, the service centre employees aren't trained well to handle sophisticated/international brands. Hence they don't survive in Indian market for long.
My 2023 kia Carens top model started to have engine light on after second free service total reading 5600 kms …. It is standing at service centre from last 10 days they will replace EGR part and guess what they don’t have that part in India inventory.
It's seems that you want more views or likes rather than resolution of the problem. Volvo karidne ka aukat rakne wale video nahi banathe. Apne valkeel ke through notice bejthein gain. Pura bachkana hatkat hai
Once the car is registered in your name, its yours for all legal purposes. Whatever argument you have with the dealer/company has to be resolved with them under warrenty or outside it. If your are not satisfied with dealer or Volvos resolution then your only option is consumer court and further legal action.
Technically yes but you can still make them refund the full amount. All you need is a lot of patience and lot of time in hand to push through the Volvo heirarchy. Take the game to their Global CEO, Investors, Independent directors, cc every car magazine, news papers, social media influencers etc. Spread the word and they will come around. I have done it with Honda and made it stick.
This is a very isolated case. I've been a Volvo owner for the past 10 years. 10 years, 2 cars, very little to no problems, considering the first one was 12 years old (with over 250000 km) at the time. Every problem was fixed and consumer experience was more than great with compensations for inconveniences.
Tell me why Geely (a huge Chinese car manufacturer) bought Volvo in the first place. Why was it sold by Ford. Why was Volvo sold to Ford in the first place? It was because it was having poor sales. Why poor sales? Because people are not buying. Why were people not buying? Because of poor engineering, poor reliability and poor after sales. All the same things shown in this video. And you are saying problems started after it was sold to Chinese 🤣. Unreliability, poor engineering is a common problem in many European car companies for many decades. That's the very reason no one buys them, they have poor sales, and they are sold off. Just do a bit of research and see how many european companies have been sold off.
I have a 2021 xc60 inscription. I’ve driven it 30k kms so far and yet haven’t had a single issue with the car with daily driving in Indian conditions. I’m absolutely happy with the car and would totally recommend it to anyone who’s in the market for one. I’ve been to this service center as well and I haven’t faced any issues with them as well. You sir have received a lemon from the manufacturer. Pls take it up to volvo india and they will happily give you a replacement or return your money. These service guys are powerless when it comes to a car that has manufacturing defect.
Shocking.. didn’t expect this from a brand like Volvo.. thanks for sharing your experience.. I was considering an xc60 for my wife.. I might just stick with the x3 instead
German cars are much worse in India…changing of any part be it as small as a bluetooth will take a lakh for replacement and they never keep any of the parts in house and take a minimum of 3-5 days for that part to arrive in India
Yes but japanese cars don’t give as much features as a German/Sweden one unless one buys a lexus which is not at all worth the price.Volvo was practically the only good choice that was available

Only structural/body/part defect can be deteted. Tecnical/electrical fault is not possible unless it happens right there infront of both parties, which is also a rare case

My girlfriend has spent over 8lks on various repairs on her 2016 V40 r design. I have had to pick her up multiple times after the car has left her stranded. It makes my Land Rover look reliable lol Everything from turbo, catalytic converter to various engine components, suspension issues, hoses and pipes completely failed and the dealership could never even diagnose the problem properly. It always took, loading it up on a tow truck, taking it to 2-3 shops and getting multiple mechanics’s opinions to diagnose the real problem because the dealership would sometimes keep it for 2 months at a time and still not be able to let alone solve but even diagnose the problem. Ultimately the engine completely failed at 60k kms. Apparently broken fragments from the turbo and / or catalytic converter went into the engine block (still not sure what killed it cause they could never diagnose it) and she ended up selling it for a mere 4lks. I feel like they’re great cars but they’re just not properly homologated for India and the dealers / mechanics are extremely poorly trained and lack the skill set required to work on them.
@@gumz4183 it’s owned by geely but I believe there’s hardly any intervention in the design or manufacturing of a Volvo from the Chinese investor. Just like how Land Rover isn’t an Indian company despite being owned by one. The Sweeds just don’t seem to be as good as they claim when it comes to making cars unlike their German or Japanese rivals.
@@kr63 parent company controls the money. Manufacturing and design(technical) get affected greatly. But I guess we can always debate the technicality of ownership. Land Rover is an Indian company, Volvo is a Chinese company. Whoever controls the money claims ownership. Since consumers won’t associate luxury with a brand from the third world, they masquerade as European by showing they retained R&D at the company’s original home. But the parent company controls the money and are looking to make ROI. It’s never good news when complex manufacturing setup trades hands.
@@gumz4183 fair points. I guess I agree to most extent. The manufactures however always seem to try to convince you otherwise though and sometimes you do get swayed lol
As i understand, the battery has been changed thrice, the reason for that is not mentioned in the video, but i take it that it was getting discharged in one or two days. There can be 4 or 5 reasons for this and probably the service guys did not do a thorough diagnosis to find out the root cause. As i see the situation, you can either go legal and wait for an year or two for the courts to decide. There is no gaurantee that the court will rule in your favour, as it is only the battery issue, and as per warranty terms, the dealer has replaced it, albiet thrice. So filing a case may or may not get you the desired result, plus it is time consuming. Courts very rarely pass orders for refund or replacement by the manufacturer/dealer, unless there has been a very serious concern with a major assembly and it cannot be rectified. A battery problem is a minor concern. Or you may try to further leverage social media to highlight your issue, but that also does not gaurantee a favorable result. At best you may succeed in defaming the company. What further action you wish to initiate is your choice, I have tried to give you a balanced view on the probable outcomes.
File a consumer protection case with your State against speed volvo along with primary party as Volvo India, this case will earn you complete compensation of the vehicle along with interest and all the service costs. And additional compensation from Volvo India. This case clearly violates the conditions of the vehicle. The service center has made a mess of the vehicles integrity and it's operational capabilities. May be substandard parts, ECU messed up.
What is the exact problem? I am planning to take a Volvo Recharge. I remember my old car atleast 4-5 brake down after changing a new battery and lost my warranty card. Changed alternator, eventually all problems solved after using a Third New battery.
There must be something remaining on in the background even when the vehicle js turned off n locked. Thats what might be draining the battery. The need to find this cause. Theres no OBD code for that.
I booked a Volvo 60 few days back but after watching this thinking to withdraw my booking. Thanks for the information and reality check of volvo india.
Very good that you exposed on social platform. I faced very similar issues with AMP Motors (Jag XF) and Zenica (Audi A4). Wrote to top management to no avail. Sold both cars for pennies and got BMW which is much better (been 3 years). Hope you and your father end up with a great lux car. Best of luck.
Hey there, the lane keep assist feature might not be suitable for the typical road conditions in India. But I noticed something else - the deep battery discharge suggests that your car may have an earthing issue. This could be causing the battery to drain faster than it should, and the ECU might not be able to control it properly.
All moter vehicle dealers in india are same. They sell their faulty vehicle to normal customer and good vehicle to VIP or relatives. They all aware about the condition of every vehicle they are selling.
the real problem is not company it is government policies of GST/TAX/RTO. due to this most of the time company are not able to replace or refund. because ones billing is done and rto registration done. there is nothing like undo in the government system. i am not taking side of anyone. one of my dealer friend told me the real problem. many times company wanted to replace or refund but due to all this government policies it is next to impossible to support customer
My friend also had horrible experience with his XC90. He gave it for a normal service checkup. They forgot to check engine oil or something. And after few months car stopped in middle of highway. Car was then towed to the service center. And they said that you didn't check oil or something on time that's why engine is locked and now you'll have to pay full amount for the new engine. They had to fight a lot with Volvo for this after which they agreed to do it without any extra cost. My friend has spent like 20Lakhs on just the maintenance of car over 9-10 year period. Which is crazy if you think about it.
20 lakhs for 9 to 10 years is a reasonable amount you you once look the mentainence cost of 1 German V8 or a Jaguar. Just 1 year service of Jaguar XF is 5 lakhs. So you would have to spent 45 to 50 lakhs on that car.
The only thing Volvo India does is replace the parts, for compound parts they will not replace damaged pieces in it but the entire part. So 2000 ka 80,000 me. And they make silly mistakes, which is unexpected from Volvo service staff.
In Ahmedabad city, we have Volvo Autobots, a dealer of Volvo cars, which has a great routine. They do not have parts availability and always change parts from one car to another when you send for servicing. The availability of parts is worse in Volvo India. Better buy a BMW or Mercedes-Benz cars if you need a premium car.
Hi, I was planning to book Volvo S90 soon and came across your video. Could you please kindly share any recent updates to this case? Any progress on your case or did Volvo India revert to it? Thanks.
I'm not sure what happened in your case... Seems unfortunate... Our first Volvo was purchased in 2017 V40 CC apart from routine service we didn't face any issue at all... We were so happy with the service and their management as well... We found the service and car so good that we decided to get thr S60 CC as well in 2019.... Now in 2024... Apart from routine service and wear and tear aparts i haven't faced any issue... Both cars combined have completed 1.2 lakh kms.... Its really unfortunate this issue has happened in ur case... Hopefully things get sorted the right way... All this experience is from Martial Motors Bangalore...
Sir. I have no words. Legal suite is the only way forward I feel. But going through legal suite and will have tremendous pressure on you so I will pray to God to grant you good health and patience to get back hard earned money.
I don’t why people in India are obsessed with these foreign luxury brand which don’t have any after sales service. The most they can do is change lube.
Broo, in every brand particularly Top brands have these falws but, the brand value matters on how they care customer when these kind of failure they face. In every category this is common, but thing is how they satisfy customer with their service.
I got the same issue with Tata Indica aura Safire . Bought on cash 4.20 lakh Cash. I never bought Tata car and I never recommend it to any one his horrors are all known to me . I always respected Volvo . It’s surprising indeed
This is a revelation for people who think Volvo to be super great car company. Thanks for this disclosure. Hope consumer court addresses your concerns in time.
It is sad that India doesn’t have lemon laws. A brand new car that breaks frequently should be a buy back from manufacturer or atleast replacement vehicle should be provided by manufacturer. Volvos have a high lemon rate in US even though most of their cars are made in Europe or US.
Hi. I don’t know much about cars and multimeters but I have an idea for you to get this issue resolved: 1. Open the car door and jam the door latch with some object so that the car thinks its door is locked. Then lock the car with ur fob and put it away. 2. Open the fuse box and check every fuse with a multimeter after 15 mins or more after the car’s computer goes into sleep mode. If your battery drained in about a day or two it would be much easier to find the source of the battery drain. Again I know nothing about this stuff but I think you might want to take matters into ur own hands because they will not help you. I hope this helps❤
Thanks for sharing this video. I was planning to buy a S90, but now I feel that German cars are much more reliable compared to Volvo, which has lost its charm. You raised a very valid point that Volvo was once known for its engineering marvel and reliability. When there is no reliability, why choose Volvo when there are other luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes, and Audi? The customer handling shown here is extremely disappointing, unexpected, and negligent. I am really thankful that you saved me from buying a disappointment. #volvo #volvoindia #volvoglobal #unsafevolvo #negligentvolvo
Thank you for your message. I’m glad that at least some people can get warned through my video which has been the only intent. To be honest, it was heart breaking to see how Volvo India has dealt with this issue by brushing aside it completely. I’ve already filed a consumer complaint against them.
I was talking to a Driver and he rated Volvo as a very poor vehicle . His best car was a Mercedes . His BMW was very unreliable and had to be sold. He spoke most fondly of the Mercedes .

@@gumz4183 fair points. I guess I agree to most extent. The manufactures however always seem to try to convince you otherwise though and sometimes you do get swayed lol
Yes they should replace, sadly when these brands come to India service quality drops at times like this
As i understand, the battery has been changed thrice, the reason for that is not mentioned in the video, but i take it that it was getting discharged in one or two days.
There can be 4 or 5 reasons for this and probably the service guys did not do a thorough diagnosis to find out the root cause.
As i see the situation, you can either go legal and wait for an year or two for the courts to decide. There is no gaurantee that the court will rule in your favour, as it is only the battery issue, and as per warranty terms, the dealer has replaced it, albiet thrice. So filing a case may or may not get you the desired result, plus it is time consuming.
Courts very rarely pass orders for refund or replacement by the manufacturer/dealer, unless there has been a very serious concern with a major assembly and it cannot be rectified. A battery problem is a minor concern.
Or you may try to further leverage social media to highlight your issue, but that also does not gaurantee a favorable result. At best you may succeed in defaming the company.
What further action you wish to initiate is your choice, I have tried to give you a balanced view on the probable outcomes.
Please share an update regarding the same .
File a consumer protection case with your State against speed volvo along with primary party as Volvo India, this case will earn you complete compensation of the vehicle along with interest and all the service costs. And additional compensation from Volvo India. This case clearly violates the conditions of the vehicle. The service center has made a mess of the vehicles integrity and it's operational capabilities. May be substandard parts, ECU messed up.
This very heartbreaking, im sure the owner would've never thought he would have to go through this
Somewhere battery getting grounded.. it might be some circuit issue
What's the update brother? Any resolutions?
What is the exact problem?
I am planning to take a Volvo Recharge.
I remember my old car atleast 4-5 brake down after changing a new battery and lost my warranty card.
Changed alternator, eventually all problems solved after using a Third New battery.
There must be something remaining on in the background even when the vehicle js turned off n locked. Thats what might be draining the battery. The need to find this cause. Theres no OBD code for that.
Please do update how you proceed with the case, I hope everything works out in your favor soon.

What was the issue in Car.. which model?
Kindly update, what happens.
Kindly explain what is the issue ?
Best one at 12.35 "Normal battry pe itni kharab halat he to, apki EV to kabhi bhi bol jayegi....
I booked a Volvo 60 few days back but after watching this thinking to withdraw my booking. Thanks for the information and reality check of volvo india.
Very good that you exposed on social platform. I faced very similar issues with AMP Motors (Jag XF) and Zenica (Audi A4). Wrote to top management to no avail. Sold both cars for pennies and got BMW which is much better (been 3 years). Hope you and your father end up with a great lux car. Best of luck.
Hey there, the lane keep assist feature might not be suitable for the typical road conditions in India. But I noticed something else - the deep battery discharge suggests that your car may have an earthing issue. This could be causing the battery to drain faster than it should, and the ECU might not be able to control it properly.
If ECU can't control it properly then how to PROPERLY solve earthing issue in Volvo?
Why is Volvo India as a trusted car manufacturer is holding back itself. ???
Because it's not a trusted manufacturer lol😂
Sir, what is the status now?
Very good art of conversation, very well put. Hope you get justice soon.
you can approach consumer forum
File a complaint and claim complete refund
What is the update now ?
What is the update? Did u get the refund or new car ?
All moter vehicle dealers in india are same. They sell their faulty vehicle to normal customer and good vehicle to VIP or relatives. They all aware about the condition of every vehicle they are selling.
the real problem is not company it is government policies of GST/TAX/RTO. due to this most of the time company are not able to replace or refund. because ones billing is done and rto registration done. there is nothing like undo in the government system. i am not taking side of anyone. one of my dealer friend told me the real problem. many times company wanted to replace or refund but due to all this government policies it is next to impossible to support customer
Service centre should be Company owned.
I have been a volvo xc 90 user since 6 years. Covered 1.3 L KM. Had issue with many things. But got it covered under extended warranty
What is the current status ?
What happened with this finally ? Did the issue get permanently resolved ?
Not yet unfortunately. I’ve filed a consumer complaint against Volvo and Lucknow and Gurgaon dealership.
@@Enduromotoriderkeep the updates
As of now in recent times there is no USP to buy Volvo anymore
Thanks for giving this information, Even I am planning to buy Volvo in my family, but your video is Eye opener to us
My friend also had horrible experience with his XC90. He gave it for a normal service checkup. They forgot to check engine oil or something. And after few months car stopped in middle of highway. Car was then towed to the service center. And they said that you didn't check oil or something on time that's why engine is locked and now you'll have to pay full amount for the new engine. They had to fight a lot with Volvo for this after which they agreed to do it without any extra cost. My friend has spent like 20Lakhs on just the maintenance of car over 9-10 year period. Which is crazy if you think about it.
20 lakhs for 9 to 10 years is a reasonable amount you you once look the mentainence cost of 1 German V8 or a Jaguar.
Just 1 year service of Jaguar XF is 5 lakhs.
So you would have to spent 45 to 50 lakhs on that car.
Whats the update since this meeting?
Sir kya raha results fir ? Pls explain or make next video
The only thing Volvo India does is replace the parts, for compound parts they will not replace damaged pieces in it but the entire part. So 2000 ka 80,000 me. And they make silly mistakes, which is unexpected from Volvo service staff.
In Ahmedabad city, we have Volvo Autobots, a dealer of Volvo cars, which has a great routine. They do not have parts availability and always change parts from one car to another when you send for servicing. The availability of parts is worse in Volvo India. Better buy a BMW or Mercedes-Benz cars if you need a premium car.

Hi, I was planning to book Volvo S90 soon and came across your video. Could you please kindly share any recent updates to this case? Any progress on your case or did Volvo India revert to it? Thanks.
Hi. I’ve filed a consumer complaint. My car is still with Volvo since 26th March. Volvo has offered to pay me 20k
Aapko glti se testing vehicle de diya hai inhone 😅
After vehicle registration there is nothing you can do. Only you can file a consumer court case which will run for years and years.
I'm not sure what happened in your case... Seems unfortunate... Our first Volvo was purchased in 2017 V40 CC apart from routine service we didn't face any issue at all... We were so happy with the service and their management as well... We found the service and car so good that we decided to get thr S60 CC as well in 2019.... Now in 2024... Apart from routine service and wear and tear aparts i haven't faced any issue... Both cars combined have completed 1.2 lakh kms....
Its really unfortunate this issue has happened in ur case... Hopefully things get sorted the right way...
All this experience is from Martial Motors Bangalore...
What's the update on it ?
Sir. I have no words. Legal suite is the only way forward I feel. But going through legal suite and will have tremendous pressure on you so I will pray to God to grant you good health and patience to get back hard earned money.
We would like to know the updates...
I don’t why people in India are obsessed with these foreign luxury brand which don’t have any after sales service. The most they can do is change lube.
Broo, in every brand particularly Top brands have these falws but, the brand value matters on how they care customer when these kind of failure they face. In every category this is common, but thing is how they satisfy customer with their service.
Conclusion kya nikla, kya refund hua?
I got the same issue with Tata Indica aura Safire . Bought on cash 4.20 lakh
Cash. I never bought Tata car and I never recommend it to any one his horrors are all known to me . I always respected Volvo . It’s surprising indeed
Next update when???
Update?
Any updates bhaiya.....????
Sad!! Volvo lost its glory after Geely.
Update ????
I was thinking of getting a XC90 for my wife. We're newly wed. We live in Texas. Now, I'm having second thoughts.
Never a volvo, never skoda, that's my personal experience
Also no tata Mahindra 😅😅
Sad to see this even a brand like Volvo is manufacturing such cars
What is the conclusion did they refund the money ??
It is really frustrating situation after paying so much money
This is a revelation for people who think Volvo to be super great car company. Thanks for this disclosure. Hope consumer court addresses your concerns in time.
It is sad that India doesn’t have lemon laws. A brand new car that breaks frequently should be a buy back from manufacturer or atleast replacement vehicle should be provided by manufacturer. Volvos have a high lemon rate in US even though most of their cars are made in Europe or US.
what's the update?
Cancelling my booking after watching this dont want to deal with this type of people...
File consumer complaint
Hi. I don’t know much about cars and multimeters but I have an idea for you to get this issue resolved:
1. Open the car door and jam the door latch with some object so that the car thinks its door is locked. Then lock the car with ur fob and put it away.
2. Open the fuse box and check every fuse with a multimeter after 15 mins or more after the car’s computer goes into sleep mode.
If your battery drained in about a day or two it would be much easier to find the source of the battery drain.
Again I know nothing about this stuff but I think you might want to take matters into ur own hands because they will not help you.
I hope this helps❤
Thanks for sharing this video. I was planning to buy a S90, but now I feel that German cars are much more reliable compared to Volvo, which has lost its charm.
You raised a very valid point that Volvo was once known for its engineering marvel and reliability. When there is no reliability, why choose Volvo when there are other luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes, and Audi?
The customer handling shown here is extremely disappointing, unexpected, and negligent.
I am really thankful that you saved me from buying a disappointment.
#volvo #volvoindia #volvoglobal #unsafevolvo #negligentvolvo
Thank you for your message. I’m glad that at least some people can get warned through my video which has been the only intent. To be honest, it was heart breaking to see how Volvo India has dealt with this issue by brushing aside it completely. I’ve already filed a consumer complaint against them.
I was talking to a Driver and he rated Volvo as a very poor vehicle . His best car was a Mercedes . His BMW was very unreliable and had to be sold. He spoke most fondly of the Mercedes .
For 50Lakhs budget, VW Tiguan, Skoda and Tucson are better choices. All these three vehicles are highly reliable
