2 complaints about the 2016 Volvo 780
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Since the purchase of this vehicle it has an uncontrollable cab sway from side to side due to the lack of stability in the shock system. Vin. N9318245. Two out of three volvo dealerships state no problem or a problem they cant fix. One dealership, dayton ohio replaced rear cab shocks which subsequently gave minor improvements. Im waiting to hear from volvo to see what else can be done other then me purchasing after market shocks or air bags. Due to the uncontrollable sway from road, wind, other vehicle turbulence and the excess weight of the top of the sleeper, this vehicle will cause major over corrections by the driver and could be extremely dangerous in winter conditions.
