I have a 1999 V70AWD and the top motor mount broke at 27,000 miles. Our dealer replaced it under warranty without a murmur, but I was shocked -- the car is driven GENTLY and has never gone off-roading.
Add that to the bad AWD bevel gear design which forced me to throw away three perfectly good Michelins at 17k, the mystery moaning from the front end, the unexplained fluid leaks, the interior fit-and-finish problems, and this Volvo ain't exactly a battle tank. It affords no peace of mind. No car that commands these prices should be this big a "hangar queen." Never again.
