I have a 1998 S70, recently I had a flat tire, once the tire was repaired I jacked up the vechile in my garage (flat concrete surface) as directed by the owners manual with the parking brake on, removed the temp tire and slid the repaired flat under the front wheel well when the jack broke. The vechile fell on the tire damaging the wheel well, front quarter panel and the bumper. I promptly visited the Volvo dealer who set up an appointment with the Volvo factory rep (which took two months for the rep to finally inspect the car). The rep who would not meet with me sent a report stating the car "rolled" off the jack due to the parking brake was not engaged therefore it was not Volvo's problem to deal with. The parking brake was engaged! The weld on the jack broke. Is there anyone out there that has had a jack from Volvo break?
