Example complaints

“Without warning my 1998 Volvo v70 awd wagon shuts off...while driving. Power steering and all. I've spent over $700 in repairs and the mechanic cannot figure it out. Now I dare not take it on a highway. The recent reports of this happening to years 1999 and on must be amended to include the 1998. I bought this wagon because of Volvo's longevity reputation. Now it's a potential road hazard.”
