I've owned a 2001 V70 and this car has been nothing but trouble. Continuous trips to Volvo (1.5 hours away) because of constant warning signs coming on. I've replaced suspension parts, brake booster, sensors, and numerous lights..each service costing way more than the average auto manufacturer. Volvo service is great at my dealer but the car is non-stop trouble. After all of the maintenance and $$$$'s, I still have a bad rear suspension, ABS and engine lights still randomly turn on, and the dealer wants $1100 to replace my ETM now.

I have finally turned in the Volvo V70 T5 for a Japanese car in hopes that I will never experience all of those troubles again. It all boils down to the math...Volvo + massive repairs = thousands of dollars that I cannot afford for a car that should not be having these problems.

THINK TWICE BEFORE PURCHASING A VOLVO...a car is only safe when everything is working properly.
