“Driving to denver on sunday 10/8/2005 and my car started to miss and jerk severely. There was a lot of traffic behind me going well over 60 MPH and no place to pull over. I almost got rear ended. I don't have the money to fix the car as I was told the cost is over $1000. It now does this intermittently so I can drive it part time anyway.”
NHTSA complaint #10139483, filed 2005-10, 63,100 miles“2000 Volvo s-70 car stalled while traveling at any speed. I had to spend $1200 to have the electronic module that regulates the airflow and gas to the engine replaced. I did some research and found this to be a common problem with this model. Volvo is aware of the problem, but is not recalling or reimbursing car owners.”
NHTSA complaint #10130938, filed 2005-08, 63,478 miles“While driving from cleveland to roswell, ga, the electronic throttle control module failed in my 2000 Volvo S70. This caused the engine to lose power and the power-steering failed. I had to pull into a parking lot beside the road. The engine completely stopped. After about 30 minutes, I was able to restart it. The local Volvo dealer recommended replacing the module at a cost of over $1000. Old part was not returned.”
NHTSA complaint #10131360, filed 2005-08, 64,000 miles“2000 Volvo S70 glt-se; ets light came on and vehicle lost power on I-10 in heavy traffic. Limped in to a Volvo dealer. Car was inspected by a Volvo tech. The throttle body was out of factory specs. He replaced the throttle body assembly and reprogrammed it at a cost of $985.38. Not what one would expect from Volvo. This event not only was inconvenient but put my family in danger in heavy interstate traffic. Volvo should make this right!”
NHTSA complaint #10131991, filed 2005-08, 45,801 miles“I was unable to start the Volvo S70 2000 engine at all on 7/2/12 and after checked by technician that the fuel pump was not working and replacement was needed. This problems had occurred many times in the last 6 months, yet I was able to start the engine after several tries. This time, the engine was not started at all even with many tries that the fuel pump replacement is definitely needed and it costs me $732 to fix it on 7/3/12. Based on the Volvo recalls history, Volvo S70 from 2001 forwards models were recalled. But I wonder why was not for my S70 2000 which had the similar problem. …”
