2001 Volvo V70 Other or unknown Problems

“When I am driving in 5th gear the transmission will drop into 4th gear, at that time I loose 1st, 3rd and 5th gears I can shift between 4th and 2nd. The shift is very hard and causes a jerk and clunking noise. I have to stop and shut off the vehicle. I turn the car immediately back on and all the gears are functional. I'm not sure why there's so many complaints about this issue yet no action has been taken to fix this problem”

“I was driving my car on saturday morning when suddenly with no warning the engine went into limp home mode. I was able to get to a Volvo dealer, who took the car in, down loaded a software patch for the throttle computer and returned the car to me.”

“I recently began having problems with my 2001 Volvo V70 station wagon. It turns out that the pcv system had become clogged as a result of problems with the etm. When they tested the vehicle at the dealership they did not find any computer codes related to the etm so they are refusing to cover the damage done to the pcv by the faulty etm under warranty. When they clean or replace the etm they service the pcv as part of the repair they have indicated to me that until the etm fails completely they are unwilling to cover the pcv problem under the extended warranty.”

“Heater core burst causing severe burn on drivers right foot. An inch and a half deep puddle of boiling hot antifreeze poured out with no warning from center console over gas pedal. Passenger floor area also had boiling antifreeze. Daughter was driving and taken to hospital treated for second degree burns.”

“The reflection of the dashboard in sunlight on the windshield is virtually blinding. The color of the interior of our car is a cream beige with a matching dashboard. When driving into the sun, the reflection is so bad that 60% to 70% of your vision is impaired. We have had 3 near collisions since we have been unable to make out a light colored car entering an intersection. In filtered sun light, the reflection continues from a large radio speaker grill (the size of a dinner plate) and from the defroster grate that runs the full width of the dashboard. …”
