XC60

Post by loonie »

Good evening,
I would like to ask for advice on XC60.
When i turn the steering wheel to the extreme right or left and press on the accelator pedal, there is a "dragging kind" of feeling under the driver's floor panel.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? If do, pls let me know whether this is a common or do I have to send the car in for a check-up.
Thanks :|

Welcome to MVS.
I think you are the first person to post on our site about an XC60. I have seen pictures of one but never in person. I hope you find your answer.

Sounds like tire rubbing on wheel well. Look for rub marks.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

These just came out this week for sale here but does not sound normal.
Go to your dealer, you ARE (obviously) in warranty.

You sure the rubber/or other mats on the floor are not being "grabbed" by the steering column when turning. :mrgreen:
