Not the Volvo it used to be

From the moment I drove the car off the lot new there was a thump in the rear end. It took 18 months to get the problem corrected. At 32,000 miles something internally damaged the engine head, and it needed replacement. It was repaired under warranty, but the car simply does not perform like it did prior to the problem. This all happened even after being religous about meeting service and oil change intervals, etc. I love the look of the car inside and out but the Volvo quality and service have alot to be desired. I say this after having six Volvos over the last 20+ years, the first four running over 100,000 miles with few problems. The last two (both XC70) with nothing but problems.

We must have had over 50 vehicles of all kinds over the years. This one is a tank. I feel so safe. Although we have only had it a few months, I could not be more impressed. I have yet to go through a winter but with a hill for a driveway it is very comforting to know I will make it up without any issues. Can't wait to try it in the snow. I feel very secure, rich, and cared for when driving.

I bought my 2007 XC70 with 120K on it and took a chance on it. But it has been wonderful. Great car, highly reliable, easy driving and I love the 2.5 T5 engine. I've gotten up to 31 MPG on long interstate drives. And you can haul a ton of stuff in it. The AWD performs well on my unpaved mountain road to our second home. Timing belt must should be replaced after 100K and I had to replace the U joints and struts but otherwise very reliable. I now have 195K on it and will not let it go. It looks and drives like it was new. I highly recommend this model over the next generation of 3.2 AWD wagons.

We purchased this car hoping to get well into 6 figures on the mileage. Well within 2000 miles of the warranty expiring i am incurring $8000 in repairs. Failed water pump and timing belt and then the transmission failed. Volvo and dealership seem to care less. I get it that i am outside the warranty, but come on Volvo! 2000 miles?
