SteeringJun 2023 · ODI 11526752Details +Close −
The automobile is still at Jim Ellis Volvo Mall of Georgia not being repaired because Volvo USA has declined to assist. The problem with the steering has been vocally delivered to me by service department as the Universal Joint in the steering column has failed. This is a large expense which I should not have to be responsible for with at car this early in it's life, 85K.
