Mine Sucks Too 850

Usual 850 problems:

Rear Main seals

Alternator

ABS control Module

Engine Mounts

Peeling Door Panels

Loose windshield trim

Faulty seat heaters

Leaky Sunroof

Noisy Suspension

etc. etc.

I've had them all.... ironically I'm one of the few whose AC hasn't crapped out, but the compressor sure cycles a lot and I get the occassional blast of hot air.... so only a matter of time.

This car has cost me thousands of dollars to keep on the road. Not worth the aggrevation. My 1988 Ford Escort I drove to 200K, only major repair was a water pump at 170K. The Volvo is a money pit and parts are outrageously priced. My remote for my door locks was $90 alone and happens to be the cheapest thing I have replaced on my 850 other than a light bulb.
