Working real hard to restrain language here.
Volvo NA says that the headlight switch recall and the throttle recall were done in Michigan in June 2006 and they reimbursed the dealer. Interesting, since I last was in Michigan in 1959, and the car hasn't been to Michigan since I bought it in '01. Their basic position seems to be that the dealer records are conclusive absent instructions from a burning bush, but they will look into it and advise. In the meantime, I have the privilege of doing whatever becomes necessary at my own expense and attending prayer sessions at the religious institution of my choice re the prospect of a refund. Am waiting to hear back from Volvo NA; in meantime, will order the switch from the faithful parts guy and fervently hope that the throttle assembly ( last replaced at the Volvo dealer in '04 after a 100+ mile trip on a flatbed, all at my expense) holds up until another recall or the last trump, whichever comes first.
Of course, the '92 Benz 190E I sold when I got the S70 is still running great, with no mechanical problems at all. The '88 245 I gave away a couple of years ago is also running great with absolutely no problems. Wonder if I can find the guy who bought my '40 Packard and get it back, since it's likewise still in mint condition mechanically....Turn on the way-back machine, here I come!
