NE region Volvo rep said my door rattle, caused by the prem stereo, is ok by Volvo standards. Told it wouldnt be ok in my BMW or a Mercedes, he said Volvo is neither of those companies. Mystery failures in the power door locks and windows. SECOR VOLVO said it's my fault since I park outside half the time, saying "WE have seen some problems with condensation like that." Two power door locks failed under warranty. Drive train fine over 24000 miles. In rear ender, the front of the Toyota was destroyed but the Volvo only needed a bumper. Great in the snow, I can park it anywhere. Remember, it is a Volvo. Near-luxury, not luxury.
not up to Volvo quality standards

Our Volvo XC70 has been nothing but trouble -- nothing like the safety, reliability, quality image Volvo advertizes: - the air conditioner didn't work when it was delivered - a rock got stuck in the real wheel assembly, the rim cracked, and the tire deflated... not covered by warranty - the front brake pads wore out at 19k miles - interior parts keep falling off - the gas tank door fell off - everything electrical malfunctions

Good car, superb engineering on seat fold-down method for use of full cargo area, driver door had an annoying rattle -- dealer fixed on warranty; poor design and material on console lid hinge...it broke quickly and cost $175 + installation to replace...dealer service tech installed wrong color (QC...?), causing another return trip and "discussion" with the service manager. Mileage around town isn't too impressive...about 15, but highway mileage improves significantly (25+), and it's fast on the open road. Overall we like it alot and have recommended to a friend who also bought one and loves his.
Wish I didn't get it...

1) The washer reservoir was not hooked up. 2) Tire failed at 1500 miles, 3) a 73 year old man shut a door with his hip and bashed it in, 4) car electrical system failed at 20,000, 6) both headlights went out at 38,000, 6) replaced tie rod and bushings and tires at 40,000. I expect more.
Pulls Left but great in the snow!

I basically love the car but I have a real problem with the car pulling to the left. The first time I compained to the dealer, the put air in the tires. The second time, they charged me for an alignment. The third time, they said they noticed no problem. There is definately a problem. I'm building muscles in my left hand and calling my lawyer with my right.
