Volvo 940 — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 58 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Air bags (restraint system)18 (31.0%)
• Tires & wheels14 (24.1%)
• Fuel system6 (10.3%)
• Speed control & accelerator6 (10.3%)
• Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)4 (6.9%)
• Brakes2 (3.4%)

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (54 records, model years 1995) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), tires & wheels and speed control & accelerator.
• Manufacturer communications (200 records, model years 1995) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and tires & wheels.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
