“From february 2004 to april 2005, I have had various problems with my 1999 Volvo xc70 and have little help from the Volvo dealership in the matter. I twice had to call aaa because I stalled my car at school. Originally, I thought it may be an ignition problem, but after two trips to jim culligan, it was determined to be a steering conmponent problem. Furthermore, as the records at jim culligan will clearly document (and my own), I came back with this same problem and told them so, but they said my vehicle is no longer under warranty. …”
NHTSA complaint #10131903, filed 2005-08, 64,859 miles“Dt: 1999 Volvo wagon vxc. Sudden loss of power . The car did not stall except at a stop sign when giving it a lot of gas to get it going. This happened intermittently for two months. Took vehicle to dealership, and they said it would cost $1753.00 to fix it. The car is out of warranty. They would put in a new steering rod/ front end alignment/ vehicle speed sensor/ throttle body assembly/ an automatic transmission, and drain and refill the coolant.”
