(Freya Svensson) "O Rusnak Volvo" - A Swedish Folkloric

[Skate2Death1000]

MY NAME IS FREYA NO LIE!!!!!

[Syndication]

this song still amuses me. sooo tempted to do a random cover, even though it would be strange. i can't even drive, and i don't own my own car. :P

[oskeisa]

:(

I guess you just got a defective car.

I have a V70 and an S60 and I never had any problems. My mercedes ML used to be in the shop every 2 months. Volvo seems good in contrast.

[roadragecustoms]

Good luck!

[Agno10]

Hey Freya, your story made even on the Canadian Public Radio. Some big waves you got here.

[RusmackedVolvo]

That's cool. Do you know were we can hear the clip?

[Agno10]

No ideea, sorry. I recall only some wierd song I couldn't identify at first, then the host went on saying that's Swedish, it's on YT and further detailing your story.

[flooflox]

@RusmackedVolvo Hah! It's on right now on CBCNN. I don't know if it's on CBC.com archieve. It's called Customer (Dis)Service.

[AndrewNoNumbers]

I happen to really like Swedish cars. Shame that neither has really great reliability.

[SLEEKSTREET]

It may not be the car, just the dealership...not able to organize their efforts to make it right I am surprised that Mr. Rusnack would let it get this far...you see what it has done to GM and Chrysler..hang in there they may decide to do the right thing since this kind of publicy negates any advertising campaings that suggest honesty and value in their products....

[howsoonisnow1985]

Get a BMW

You are so hot by the way.

[AndrewNoNumbers]

@howsoonisnow1985 Bimmers are just as bad with reliability. Better service maybe.

[Watcher3223]

Unfortunately, I don't believe Volvo will ever help you.

IMO, the best thing to do is abandon Volvo (and never deal with the dealership that's been giving you grief, especially if they also sell other brands of vehicles) and buy a different brand of vehicle if Volvo and your dealer will not make it right.

Just dodge any Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealers though.

If you thought your Volvo experience was bad, speak with people who had heartburn from Chrysler products and "service!"

[maloy117]

WOW... after this , there is no way that i will ever buy a volvo!!!

[slammin211s]

chalk up another dissatisfied volvo consumer. My dad bought a 98 xc v70 used in 05 with 153k miles.

List of repairs so far:

Numerous sensors

Driveshafts

Two alignments and 2 sets of tires (car now has 170k)

a full valve job

my favorite is the fact that it cant deliver more than 18mpg hwy, for that kind of mileage id be driving a suburban

[osc416]

Because of this video I will never buy a Volvo. Thanks for the heads up.

[mikehoncho455]

Dear Freya,

Why did you buy such a shitty car in the first place?

[ridesdeepsnow]

Volvo is shitty anyways. But thats still no excuse to screw over your customers. Freya I hope the bastards at Rusnak have a change of their horrible business tactics and make the right decision to fix your car, actually should give you a brand new car for the stress and problems they have given you. I live in Pasadena and will make sure everyone I know gets an email link to this story and your youtube posts about this BS

[misterfrankbroussard]

Freya is one hot consumer vigilante! Nicely done.

[10101MB]

Funny video! But it's tragic what happened to that company. I had a Volvo V70 XC. Bumped into a snowbank and the front of the car disintegrated, $2800 in damage. Fixed it, sold it, bought a 1991 Volvo 240 with 150K on it. Beautiful machine. Coincidentally I named it Freya. I always name cars I like.

[kumquatsta]

send this video to geely, they may end up buying volvo from ford.

good luck, autoblog hears you

[enzocesario]

Nice story on Autoblog! If Volvo won't listen, there are thousands that will. Hey, maybe you should contact BMW and ask them how they handle their customer service :)

[FierceBirdofPrey]

In my opinion her first mistake was buying a Volvo in the first place but I understand why she did. Swedish pride is fine and dandy but it looks like it might cost her money.

[MazingerZoo]

Can you put an mp3 of this on your site? I want this on my playlist, this is awesome.

[RusmackedVolvo]

@MazingerZoo I am working on it.

[obamaisapieceofshit]

in German, the first part:

3 Jahren vorher mit meinem Volvo

Etwas hat nicht gestimmt

Volvo sagte ... keine Sorge

Aber schon nach ein paar Meilen auf den Strassen

es ..... ist mir ganz klar,

Volvo ... es war nur Quatsch

O Volvo .... Ihr Getriebe ist mangelhaft

O Rusnak .... Ihr Getriebe ist mangelhaft

[obamaisapieceofshit]

in German, the second part:

Immer wieder bin ich zurückgegangen,

sagte etwas stimmt hier nicht

Sie meinten, alles ist Ordnung

Aber jetzt dass die Guarantee vorbei ist,

sie wollen reparieren ... das ist voll beschissen

Oh Volvo & Rusnak.... Ihr Getriebe ist mangelhaft

Jetzt is unsere Liebe

In der Vergangenheit

[JasonERF]

Shame on volvo. Good luck.

I should take this opportunity, as an enthusiast, to recommend (lol) the new cadillac cts wagon. It's gorgeous and caddy's quality is right up there with the best of them these days.

[MajorAtt12de]

If the car sucks as bad as her singing, then give her a new damn car already!

[8beniamino8]

I'm not sure how to dance to Swedish songs so I'm stealing dance moves from Armi Ja Danny - I Want To Love You Tender

Excellent song! 5 stars and favoured.... good luck with the Volvo!

[gravitybureau]

Brilliant way to get attention! Great song :)

[tgsk85]

I'll tell you her problem...She bought a volvo...It's the box a Mercedes comes in....why would any one buy a volvo?

[richardMESQUITA]
