Maintenance/Repairs

Car just stopped out of no where and would not start again.I had the car towed to a local auto shop that informed me that the serpentine belt was sucked into the timing belt causing internal damage to the engine. The plastic housing is cheaply made and there is hoses and parts under the hood that are brittle and easily break. The auto shop said its an interferance engine and because piecies broke off into the timing belt the engine is damaged and i would need to replace the engine. This car is well overpriced and engine damage is enivitable. Never will i ever purchase a Volvo or any car affiliated with Volvo and will never recommend buying this car. This car should have been recalled and taken off the market. I will purchase a toyota if you want reliability stay away from this car
