Bought car at dealer with 23K miles. Started having electrical problems right away.(wipers,turn signals,headlight switch,signals,power windows,etc.)Most of these failures occured after warranty expired. Last friday the ETS light came on. (electronic throttle system)Dealer charged me $120 just to download the codes.They ended up replacing the throttle body.($1144) This type of failure is not acceptable with a car as expensive a Volvo. Failure occured at 71K miles. Volvo should be embarrased! Car is now for sale and we are for a new Subaru Forester XS.
Stuck on Volvo, but???

Owner of Volvo's since 1972. Bought the 99 @15K. Now has 68K. Recent work: ABS/Trac Control Unit, Rear seal on Turbo. Prior: AC control unit under warr. Not sure as simple and well built as older models. Power surge is super - mileage good on highway, overall appearance and safety A+ for what is known as a "brick". Prior cars: 70-144, 74-164, 76-244. My other-- 86- 740 still runs great @222K and 25 mgp/town and very little upkeep costs. Just bought a 97T5 Wagon @ 104K, not sure will keep it. First order of bus to ck the T-belt - when they blow look to rebuild the engine, so I have been warned.

I have owned my 99 V70 GLT since new. We have had very few problems with it. It does seem to burn through headlights and brakes quickly but other than that it has been very reliable and a blast to drive. We love our Wagon!! I am looking forward to buying a new one someday!
never a volvo again

I bought a volvo for the first time in '99. based on reputation for safety and reliability. Although it is a very usable cargo space and comfortable ride and excellent visibility, it has been a repair nightmare. I began having very poor a/c problems finally had to replace it under warranty, and the repairs on electrical issues, interior body hardware, (shift light, window controls, seat controls on driver side, wagon hatchback door)after the warranty expired have been very costly and don't last long. I have spent way too much money on repairs, hoping to hold onto the car for at least ten years, and it's been six and I'm giving up d/t repairs.Reg. maintenance made no difference. Sad story.
Look carefully

Bad gas mileage, poor leather interior, poor paint job, many minor interior defects (window button sticks, interior lights do not go off when door is closed, etc.)
