I live in MN. When it gets cold-under 20° F under brisk acceleration a rattling noise comes from the front left-possibly the front motor? Only happen in the cold. I have a service appointment for next week. Any thoughts from the community?

Front left rattle upon acceleration
I had the same, at first only in cold temps and then always under brisk acceleration. Both driveshafts replaced under warranty, no noise after that.
@SwedishC40
Do you happen to have the part number(s) for the new driveshafts?
Like BabaMkubwa, I am also in the US. I think over here we are getting the run around from these dealers. I first brought up my acceleration noise and vibration over a year ago now. All I hear every time I follow up is 'Volvo is still working on it and hasn't given us any direction'.
Clearly some people have gotten these issues fixed - IIRC even some in the US. Either Volvo isn't giving consistent messaging to their dealer network over here or the individual dealers are just doing whatever they feel like doing - or don't feel like doing.

Posting for awareness.
Got my C40 back today after they swapped the axles. It was around 45 Fahrenheit when I picked up and I promptly floored it and did not hear or feel the usual rattle.
Looking at the invoice, the technical journal is #36496. Parts required were two spacers (#32436419-9) and axles (#36003544-8 and #36010612-4). The axles came direct from Sweden and supposedly took 15 business days to arrive and once shipped.
Parts and labor were covered under factory warranty.
Hope that helps!
