Problems with 2002 Volvo S60 SUSPENSION

I am smelling gas all the time my radio change channel on it,s own, air bag light is on the front right & left control arm tie rod end shaft cv shaft all is bad all @ the same time how could it be ????

I presently own a 2002 volvo s60 sedan. on october 14th, 2009, at approx. 5:30 am, the front drivers side ball joint separated from my vehicle, causing failure of my upper ball joint, then separating my cv joint and shaft from my transmission. this in turn, caused extensive body damage to my vehicle. i thank god, that i was only traveling 20 miles per hour. if i was on the highway, i would not be writing this today. i notified dalzell volvo in dedham, mass. and also filed a claim with volvo of north america, claim number 376672. my claim for reimbursement of repairs was denied by mr. john willets of volvo. i am very concerned for all the other owners of this type of vehicle. wheels should not break off while driving. *tr

Dt*: the contact stated aftermarket rims and tires were installed on the vehicle. while making left turns the tires rubbed against the fender wall. the vehicle was taken back to the dealership where an aftermarket spacer bar was installed which temporarily remedied the problem. afterwards, the dealership put the original tires and rims back on the vehicle. the contact believes the aftermarket spacer bar has interfered with the integrity of the vehicle.

When making a sharp turn the vehicle felt like it was tailing and did not track properly. it also felt like it was going to spin out of control. the dealership has been contacted several times, but the cause or a remedy to the problem had not been found. *jb

I purchased a 2002 s-60 awd in the fall of 2002, less than 90 days later i developed a vibration. the dealer could find nothing wrong. i took it to a reputable tire dealer and had an alignment as well as the pirelli tires balanced. i have had the vehicle aligned twice since purchase. i have had the tires balanced approx. 10 times. i have had two blow-outs, destroying one wheel. both blow-outs required a new tire. during all of this the vibration could not be corrected by either the local tire company nor the dealer. i was instructed to purchase new tires as one of the pirellis had sidewall separation and one had a bubble, the other two tires were relatively new as i had to purchase them after the blow-outs, my vehicle had less than 20,000 miles. i replaced the pirelli tires with top of the line nokians, the vibration was still there. i was then told my problem was the new tires!! i'm currently using a loaner s-60 and do not have final results yet.*ak
