1999 Volvo S70 complaints

I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. THE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY RESULTING IN INJURIES FROM HITTING STEERING WHEEL. VEHICLE TOTAL LOSS, BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS, AIRBAG FAILURE

DT:CONSUMER SAYS THAT THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO VOLVO, AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW AIR BAG. CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS HIT IN THE REAR. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF GARAGE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. CONSUMER TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED; THE DEALER SAID THAT THE SRS CONTROL MODULE HAD AN INTERNAL FAULT. THE DEALER ORDERED THE NEEDED PART, AND IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER'S WARRANTY EXPIRED, AND CONSUMER MUST PAY FOR REPAIRS $522. *AK

I PURCHASED A NEW 1999 S70 VOLVO FROM HERB GORDON VOLVO IN SILVER SPRING, MD THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES, STILL NO CHANGE. I RECENTLY HAD IT REPLACED.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SYSTEM (ETS) LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. IT WAS AN INDICATION FOR CONSUMER TO GO TO THE VOLVO DEALER, WHO CHARGED $67.00 FOR VEHICLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THEN, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT VEHICLE NEEDED A THROTTLE UNIT PART, AND A DOWN LOAD OF SOFTWARE. IF THIS WAS IGNORED VEHICLE WILL HAVE PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, WARRANTY EXPIRED. CONSUMER ALSO CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, AND IT WAS A NORMAL EXPENSE FOR CONSUMER TO PAY. *AK THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE PART SHOULD BE RECALLED. *NM

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY THE THREE YEAR OLD CHILD WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING, AND THERE WAS NO KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHILE THE VEHICLE COMMENCED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY CONSUMER TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. DRIVER'S DOOR KNOCKED THE CONSUMER DOWN, AND THE CHILD FELL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IT CONTINUED TO ROLL UNTIL IT HIT AGAINST THE CURB. BOTH DRIVER AND CHILD SUSTAINED INJURIES, AND WERE TRANSPORTED TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL. VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED AT THIS TIME.*AK

WHILE DRIVING. THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. CONSUMER CONTACTED VOLVO. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT WARRANTY, EXPIRED, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST HIM. *AK

THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY COOLANT LIGHT WENT ON AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, IT MUST BE LOW, I WILL PULL OVER AT THE NEXT TOWN WHICH IS 10 MINUTES AWAY AND CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL. AT THAT MOMENT I LOOKED AT MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND THE NEEDLE WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE AND I ASSUMED THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE WAS NOT HIGH OR LOW BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING TO INDICATE OTHERWISE. NOT MORE THAN 5 MINUTES LATER, MY CAR LOST ALL POWER, AND IN THAT INSTANCE I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, I STOPPED THE CAR AND AS I DID THIS, THE CAR ENGINE STARTED TO SMOKE HEAVILY, EVERYTHING SHUT OFF AND I FOUND MYSELF STRANDED. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE MELTED AND A NEW ONE IS $9,700. THE SERVICE SHOP LET ME KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR IN THE COOLANT TANK, IF THIS SENSOR IS NOT SUBMERGED IN COOLANT, YOUR TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AND THE NEEDLE STAYS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. IN MY CASE, MY VOLVO GUY TOLD ME I WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF COOLANT. HOW THIS HAPPENED IN JUST A 5 MINUTE PERIOD OF TIME IS A MYSTERY TO ME, BUT THE MORE CONCERNING PART IS IF I WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF COOLANT, MY ENGINE WOULD START TO HEAT UP, MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD TELL ME THAT MY ENGINE WAS HOT, HOWEVER, WHEN LOOKING AT MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE, IT TOLD ME MY ENGINE TEMPERATURE WAS ?NORMAL?. THIS ISSUE ALSO COULD BE RELATED TO THE MOST RECENT 9/04 VOLVO RECALL, HOWEVER, MY PARTICULAR MODEL IS NOT LISTED. UNFORTUNATELY MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER A WARRANTY

THE VEHICLE WOULD START TO DRAG FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE THERE WAS A SMELL COMING THROUGH THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE OWNER WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. TAKEN TO DEALER FOR CHECKUP AND RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE ABS CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE IS DEFECTIVE. DRIVER LOSES ENGINE CONTROL WITH OUT WARNING. CAR USUALLY LIMPS HOME AT LESS THAN 20 MPH. PROBLEM CORRECTS IT'S SELF AFTER SITTING THEN THE EPISODE REPEATS WITH OUT WARNING. IT APPEARS THIS DEFECT MAY POTENTIALLY AFFECT ALL VOLVOS WITH THIS MODULE. DEALER ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY. *JB

MY ENGINE STARTED TO SHAKE AND JUST CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AS A RESULT OF A FAILURE OF MY VOLVO'S THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. *NM

1999 VOLVO S70 ETS LIGHT COMING ON DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE. THIS IS HAPENING ON THOUSANDS OF VOLVOS AND CAUSES UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS DUE TO THE ACCELERATOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL INTERMITTENTLY. VOLVO WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND CHARGES FOR THE REPAIR.*AK

VOLVO 1999 V70 ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL FAILURE. INTERMITTENTLY REALLY ROUGH IDLE, NO POWER, TOTALLY UNRELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS BRINGING THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT LIGHT ON AND EVENTUALLY PUTTING CAR IN LIMP HOME MODE. IF THIS CAR EVER FAILED IN HEAVY, HIGH-SPEED TRAFFIC, THERE WOULD BE A MAJOR CATASTROPHE WITH POSSIBLE LOSS OF LIFE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THIS FAILURE RECORDED IN INTERNET CHAT ROOMS. VOLVO IS APPARENTLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT DOES NOTHING TO SOLVE IT.*AK

VOLVO THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE FAILURE.THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO RACE,IDLE INCORRECTLY AND ULTIMATELY STOP WHILE DRIVING.DEALERSHIPS EVEN SAY THAT THE ORIGINAL MODULE WAS NOT DESIGNED CORRECTLY AND THAT VOLVO SHOULD PAY FOR THE $850.00 IT COSTS TO REPLACE.PLEASE HELP. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM THAT THOUSANDS HAVE AND OR WILL HAVE.IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPS RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH NO POWER AND WILL NOT RESTART. MY VOLVO S70 ONLY HAS 48,000 MILES AND MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS FAIL TO FUNCTION. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE IN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE 99V235000 BUT IT WAS FOR EARLIER MODEL YEARS. *NM

WHENEVER CONSUMER OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR THERE WAS A SQUEAK COMING FROM THE HINGES. DEALER EXAMINED THE DOOR, OILED THE HINGES, BUT THEY STILL SQUEAKED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, CONSUMER OPENED THE DOOR AND HEARD A LOUD SOUND, AND COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR ANY FURTHER. DEALER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE, AND REPAIRED THE HINGES ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. *AK *MR

CONSUMER HEARD A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR. SEVERAL DAYS LATER CONSUMER WAS HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE DOOR NEEDED REWELDING, AND THE REWELDING WAS DONE BY THE DEALER. *AK

MY 1999 VOLVO S70 HAS FAILED TO START AFTER SHORT TRIPS. MY WIFE HAD MENTIONED THIS PREVIOUSLY, BUT TWO RECENT INCIDENTS MADE THIS REPORT NECESSARY.*AK THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS ON THE MORNING OF 11/18/2003. AFTER A 30-MINUTE TRIP, I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND LEFT THE CAR TO GATHER PAPERS FOR WORK. I LEFT THE CAR LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, THERE WERE LIGHTS IN THE DASH AND THE FUEL PUMP PRIMED, BUT NO IGNITION. THERE WAS NO CLICKING, BUT IT SEEMED THAT THE CAR HAD POWER. CAR WAS TOWED TO A VOLVO DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. THEY FOUND A WEAK BATTERY, AND REPLACED IT. THAT APPARENTLY FIXED THE PROBLEM, AND CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY, NOVEMBER23. DROVE THE CAR TO THE LOCAL HARDWARE STORE. I SHUT OFF ENGINE, GOT OUT, AND MADE MY PURCHASES. WITHIN FIFTEEN MINUTES, I RETURNED AND TRIED TO START THE CAR. DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON, BUT NO CLICKING. TRIED TO START THE CAR A FEW TIMES, SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL TO ROLL THE CAR, STILL WOULD NOT START. THE CAR WAS TOWED AND RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. MONDAY MORNING, TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP TRIED AND IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY. THEY FOUND NO TROUBLE, AND ASKED TO RETURN MY CAR. I HAVE REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE CAR UNTIL THE TROUBLE, HOWEVER INTERMITTENT, IS ISOLATED, DIAGNOSED, AND CORRECTED. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING A LOANER CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP. BATTERY REPLACEMENT DOES NOT FIX THIS. MAY BE A "DEAD SPOT" IN THE STARTER, WHICH COULD EXPLAIN WHY THE CAR WOULD START AFTER SOME MAJOR MOTIO

ON 1999 VOLVO S70, HEADLIGHTS SPONTANEOUSLY WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. PROBLEM IS DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT SWITCH, WHICH WAS RECALLED ON THE 1998 AND EARLIER VOLVO S70S (AND MODEL 850S). RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR 1999 AND LATER, BUT FAILURE IS IDENTICAL TO THE 1998 AND EARLIER MODELS THAT WERE RECALLED.*AK

THE CONSUMER HAD DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF A FAILURE WITH THE REAR END AND REAR TIRES. THE PROBLEM WORSENED WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. THERE'S WAS ALSO A NAUSEATING TAR LIKE SMELL WITHIN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE TRANSFER CASE HAD SHREDDED WHICH CAUSED AN OIL LEAK. THE PART COULDN'T BE REPLACED FOR ALMOST THREE WEEKS DUE TO A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER. *JB AFTER 3 AND A HALF WEEKS THE TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED. WITHIN 48 MILES THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EXHIBIT SYMPTOM OF THE PREVIOUS FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT BOTH FAILURES WERE SECONDARY TO THE TIRE DEALER PUTTING AN INCORRECT TIRE SIZE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO REGISTER THAT THE TIRE WAS CONSTANTLY SLIPPING. *NLM

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE LOST SPEED OR HESITATED, AND EVENTUALLY STALLED. DEALER INDICATED TO THE CONSUMER THAT THROTTLE BODY WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. ALSO, DEALER INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL, AND YEAR. *AK

MY VOLVO 1999 S70 T5 HAS HAD PROBLEM WITH OIL LEAKING (OR BURNING) SINCE THE SECOND YEAR. MY HUSBAND HEARD SOME STRANGE AND LOUDER THAN NORMAL NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND HE CHECKED THE OIL AND NO MORE OIL IN THE ENGINE. HE HAD TO PUT 3 TO 4 QUARTS OF ENGINE OIL IN. THIS KIND OF INCIDENT HAPPENED AT TWO TIMES WHEN MY CAR WAS UNDER 50,000 MILES AND UNDER WARRANTY. WE REPORTED TO VOLVO DEALER SERVICES, THEY COULD FOUND ANY PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME. SECOND TIME THEY FOUND SOME PROBLEM AND FIXED IT. NOW AT 51700 MILES (OUT OF WARRANTY), WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUT 3 QUARTS OF OIL INTO THE ENGINE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO MORE OIL LEFT IN IT. THIS MORNING I NOTICED THAT THE TEMPERATURE WAS HIGHER THAN NORMAL. WE CALLED BOTH VOLVO OF IRVINE, AND CERRITOS OF CALIFORNIA AND THEY DENIED THAT WE REPORTED ANY PROBLEM ABOUT OIL IN THE PAST. ONLY VOLVO OF IRVINE SAYING THAT THEY DID FIX SOME PROBLEM WITH OIL PUMP IN THE PAST BECAUSE WE COMPLAINED ABOUT ENGINE NOISE. THEY DID NOT PUT IT DOWN ABOUT THE COMPLAINED OF OUT OF OIL IN THE ENGINE. WE CANNOT TRUST VOLVO SERVICES. POOR SERVICE AND VERY BAD VOLVO CAR. *LA

1999 VOLVO S70 - CONTINUED REAR BRAKE, RUNNING LIGHT, AND TURN SIGNAL PROBLEMS.I PARTICIPATED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL CAMPAIGN (00V405000) TO REPLACE THE REAR TURN SIGNAL SOCKETS AND BULBS. TO THIS DAY I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR TURN SIGNALS, RUNNING LIGHTS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS. I FREQUENTLY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ALL OF THE REAR LIGHTING (BRAKE, RUNNING, AND TURN SIGNALS). RECENTLY, I FOUND BOTH REAR TURN SIGNAL AND BOTH REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. I HAD TO BANG ON THE LIGHT HOUSINGS TO GET THE BULBS TO MAKE GOOD CONTACT WITH THE SOCKETS. THE ONLY RELIEF I HAVE FOUND IS TO REPLACE ALL REAR BULBS EVERY 3 MONTHS. EVEN THEN, I FREQUENTLY HAVE MULTIPLE BULB FAILURES. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, I HAD THE HEADLIGHTS SWITCHED ON. THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE LIT AND NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. AS I DROVE INTO A LESS LIGHTED AREA, I NOTICED THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WERE IN FACT NOT LIT. I CONFIRMED THAT THE SWITCH WAS ON, WHICH THEY WERE. I CONFIRMED THAT NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. LATER, I HAD THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH REPLACED, WHICH FIXED THIS PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. MY VOLVO MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT A DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. I TOLD HIM THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 1998 VOLVO S70, BUT NOT THE 1999 VOLVO S70, FOR THIS PROBLEM. HE WAS AMAZED BECAUSE HE SAID THAT BOTH CARS USE THE SAME SWITCH. *PH

WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. I START THE CAR AND IT STRUGGLES TO TURN ON AFTER A COUPLE OF SECOND IT IDLES NORMALLY. I THINK IT'S A FEUL DILIVERY PROBLEM BUT I'M NOT A MECHANIC. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO SERVICE AND THE PROBLEM PERSIST.*AK

I OWN A VOLVO S70, SEDAN YEAR 1999 4 DOOR. I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 1999. AT 12K MILES THE HEADLIGHTS STARTED MALFUNCITIONING WITHOUT WARNING. MOST RECENTLY THE ENTIRE LIGHTING SYSTEMS HAS STARTED TO HEAT UP AND ALL LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIIDLE OF THE NIGHT. FOR A COMPANY WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE THE "SAFETEST VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I DO NOT CONSIDER THE VEHICLE WHICH LIGHTS AND ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHTSAFE? . I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT VOLVO MULTIPLE TIMES. ONCE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON A PART, OF WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION. THEY CLAIM THAT SINCE I TAKE MY VEHICLE FOR REGULAR SERVICE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY, BUT THEY WOULD NEVER ADMIT OR HAVE RECORDS OF WHETHER THE RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED. THESE ARE NOT SAFE VEHICLE PLEASE CHECK INTO RECALLING THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEFORE SOME GETS FURTHERED INJURED.

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING ABS FAILED. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HINGE MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR. *NLM PH *JB

RIVETED DOOR STOP POST WELD SNAPS OFF-DRIVERS SIDE. *JB

CONSUMER STATES THE WELD ON THE UPPER HINGE IS BROKEN FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. NLM *MJ

AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN FOR A SCHEDULED 45000 MILE SERVICE IN SEPTEMBER 2001, I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER DOOR WAS MAKING A POPPING NOISE. I THOUGHT THAT THE DOOR HAD SIMPLY NOT BEEN LUBED. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE NEXT SERVICE IN JANUARY 2002, I SPECIFIED THAT THE DOOR WAS POPPING AND TO MAKE SURE IT WAS LUBED. I WAS ASSURED THAT IT WOULD BE LUBED. WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE IT WAS STILL MAKING THE POPPING NOISE. WITHIN A WEEK IT WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE. I CALLED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DOOR HINGE HAD MOST LIKELY BROKEN AWAY FROM THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE RE-WELDED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THEY HAD SEEN PREVIOUSLY ON THIS MODEL AND OTHERS, AND THAT IT WAS NOT DUE TO WEAR OR TEAR ON THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE CAR. I DO NOT KNOW IF A SAFETY ISSUE EXISTS WITH REGARD TO EXITING THE CAR FOLLOWING A COLLISION, OR WITH THE DOOR'S STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY DURING A COLLISION.*AK

VEHICLE STALLS AT ANY SPEED, HAS STALLED 3 TIMES. DEALER HAS REPLACED ETS SYSTEM, THIS HAS NOT REMEDIED THE PROBLEM.*AK

THESE PROBLEMS STILL EXIST AFTER BEING REPAIRED TWICE. IN ADDITION THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS FAILED SEVERAL TIMES--THE TURN SIGNALS WENT OUT, BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT, AND THE GEAR SHIFT PANEL LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT. *AK *ML
