Would be great to have access to a table of failure statistics, which can aid in troubleshooting and help to keep our cars running. For example, one could find the range of starter motor failure (our 2000 V70 has 249K miles and I'm wondering when its original starter would typically fail).

Now that the S40's control arm bushings and motor mounts are on the watch list, I'll have them checked when in the shop again. Good suggestion on carrying a spare coil in the car - already doing that in the V70.

Agree that Volvo cares about reducing the likelihood of failures on the road with its proactive parts service and replacement strategy. Can be hard on the pocketbook, which is why many of us do own maintenance. However, Volvo's typical recommendation of no transmission fluid service is confusing, since the incidence of transmission failures in AWD/FWD cars is well known.
