My husband and I purchased the 1999 V70 XC certified preowned. The car has been in the dealer shop on average, every 2-3 months. It leaks/burns anti-freeze, has electrical issues, replaced the electronic throttle module 3x's, has had many light issues, power seats work sporadically, replaced the lock switch for gear shifter, replaced headlight switch, replaced torque mounts, gas cap issues and the list goes on. I thought Volvo was know for it's reliability???
THIS CAR IS A LEMON!

This car is the biggest lemon I have ever driven. It was in Volvo service one week after I bought it for electrical issues and continued to be a major problem and financial drain the entire time I owned it. I spent $3,000 in service bills in 2003 alone! Of course Volvo covered everything under warranty. However, I should have dumped the car much sooner based upon the amount of problems I had. Horrible re- sale value. I couldn't give the car away and of course Volvo didn't want to pay anything on a trade-in because they know of the problems. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER VOLVO AGAIN! I now drive a Lexus with no problems whatsoever.

I bought this car new. Everything was ok for the first year. After that it went down hill fast. Transmission died at 16k miles, the car eats tires, replaced the alternator, replaced 4 engine mounts, replaced the throttle assembly, leaks anti-freeze all the time, Leather seats wore out, steering wheel covering came off and so on . I am glad to have gotten rid of the car and would not buy Volvo again
Can't Afford this Car Anymore!

I purchased my Volvo XC70 new,planned to keep it for 200,000 miles. Within a month the problems started and 80,000 miles later haven't stopped. The list of problems is long (bulbs, engine mount, turbo leak, door locks, power windows(4xs), etc, etc. Volvo fixed all under warranty. But unfortunately the problems continued after the first 50,000 and are now my expense. I am now replacing this car because I won't continue to pour money into this vehicle anymore. I had seriously considered the XC90 - but won't take the chance. The dealers must also know that this year was a lemon because I can't get near the Trade-in Values that are listed on-line!

A costly nightmare not only on maintenance but the car has fallen apart under 55k mikes. Service at a dealer costs an arm and a leg and quality is poor at best. What happend to Volvo? Did Ford do this to them? NEVER A VOLVO AGAIN!
