| 2001 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY | THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR ON MY 2001 VOLVO V70 FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I DID QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH ON 2001 VOLVO V70 AND FOUND THAT MANY OF THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL HAVE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. IN MY PARTICULAR CASE, THE TRANSMISSION GAVE ME "PROBLEMS" SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR TO NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. EACH TIME THE REPAIRS MADE NO DIFFERENCE. ON MY FINAL ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED (AFTER THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED) I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HESITATE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE IS ON HER 3RD TRANSMISSION. UPDATED 08/26/08. *JB |
| 1999 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | PLEASE INCLUDE MY VEHICLE INCIDENT TO NHTSA ACTION # PE05041. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE ETS (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SYSTEM) WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. NEXT DAY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, HOWEVER, WAS ABLE TO START BY BYPASSING GEAR SELECTOR INTO NEUTRAL AND VEHICLE STARTED AND WAS TAKEN TO VOLVO DEALER. VOLVO REPLACED THE ETS UNIT AND RELOADED THE SOFTWARE UNDER THE SPECIAL CA EMISSIONS WARRANTY. SINCE VOLVO REPLACED THE PART WITH AN IDENTICAL UNIT, I AM CONCERNED THE UNIT WILL FAIL AGAIN OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE AT MY COST ($1,000.00). VOLVO SHOULD REDESIGN AND REPLACE ETS UNITS TO VOLVO OWNERS AT NO COST. *JB |
