Volvo S40
What it says about you
Opinion
A small Volvo saloon from the era of the floating centre console. Solid and slightly forgotten.
Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.
7 model years on record, 205 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 2. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.
The years to look at closely: 2006 (fuel), 2005 (fuel). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.
Every year
- 2011 2 recalls 5 complaints
- 2010 2 recalls 9 complaints
- 2009 3 recalls 10 complaints
- 2008 2 recalls 16 complaints
- 2007 2 recalls 25 complaints
- 2006 fuel 59 complaints
- 2005 fuel 81 complaints
Source: NHTSA complaints, recalls and investigations, retrieved . A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints — compared against itself rather than against other cars, so popularity and age do not decide the answer.
