Re: Lemon 850 1997

I sympathize with your struggle. I have a 1995 850 GLT I bought a little over a year ago w/ 80K and immediately after purchase (from a Volvo dealer)I had to do the following:

Rear brake pads

Rear seal

( my warranty at least covered 50% - but it was still a $600 bill)

Shortly followed by:

4 new tires

Front right caliper, and boot

New front rotors

New front brake pads

Attentae stopped going down

Rear brake light stopped working (4 mechanics haven't been able to fix)

Remote locking system died

battery died

A few months later:

A/C wasn't cooling

Timing belt replaced

But I have to say the last few months have been ok. I think it was beaten to hell by the previous owner. I keep hoping that it just needed some TLC. I love my cars and always keep them running perfectly. Of course now I have a noise in the front end when I make hard turns - I'm scared to find out what that is!!! I'm still crossing my fingers....
