1995 VOLVO 940
This model year
What the record shows
The 1995 Volvo 940 is a midsize car, and the 6th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1990 to 1998.
The EPA rated two configurations: a single 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic 4-spd and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 19 to 20 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 27 owner complaints and 66 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
