HAS VOLVO GONE SOUTH? I HAVE OWNED THE SWEDES FOR 35 YRS, BUT NOW WITH SEEING
ALL OF THE ECU AND ELECTRONIC FAILURES ON THIS WEB SITE AND MY OWN EXPER., I AM
THINKING OF MOVING TO TOYOTA OR HONDA. Reason: my 99 V70T5 has already had two
(2) ECU'S CHANGED OUT - First, some unit with the HVAC CONTROLS, 2ND, THE ABS,
TRAC CONTROL UNIT. Hv an 86 740 with 220K, same original tranny, alternator,
power steer, etc. So what gives with the newer units? ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR
MODELS BETWEEN 93 AND 98????? IF I AM FOOLISH? ENOUGH TO STAY WITH THE VOLVO/FORDS? (Swede in Colorado)
