I have had some scary moments in my S60R AWD (second hand 30,000 miles, two years old). It acts like the road is greased over small cambers and uneven surfaces. There is also a tendency for the car to roll from side to side over bumps. I thought this car was going to be a bit grippier than my old S40 T4 but it's frightening instead. On a grippy road it's cornering is little short of amazing but camber changes on a wet road are lethal. I have raised this with the dealer (Sturgess the main dealer in Leicester.)The service manager took it out for a test and said it was just the stiff suspension in the 'sport' setting and that I should drive it in 'comfort' mode if I didn't like the feel in sport. I thought this was rubbish and the car is frankly unsafe. I don't want to get rid of the car as I otherwise really like it but does anyone know what the problem might be, so that I can insist they sort it out? Thanks a lot in advance for any advice :-)
