2000 Volvo V70xc complaints

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY ETS LIGHT IN OUR 2000 VOLVO V70 XC CAME ON AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER, CAUSING THE CAR TO SLOW PRECIPITOUSLY. HAD I BEEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. AS IT WAS, WE NEEDED TO FINISH OUR TRIP AT UNDER 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 55000 MILES ON IT. VOLVO REFUSES TO TALK TO ME ABOUT IT, SINCE I HAVEN'T BEEN HAVING THE CAR SERVICED BY A DEALER. THIS SEEMS VERY EARLY FOR THIS KIND OF FAILURE. I NOTE AT LEAST TWO OTHER REFERENCES TO SIMILAR FAILURES WITH THE V70.*AK

THE FUEL SENDER SEAL FAILED ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK OUT OF THE TANK. NLM

CONSUMER STATES HE HIT A POT HOLE WHICH CAUSED THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE TO LOOSE AIR, CONSUMER PURCHASED A NEW TIRE AND HE THEN QUESTIONED THE MECHANIC ABOUT HOW MUCH TIRE PRESSURE WAS USED, CONSUMER WAS ADVISED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS 28 PSI, AT A LATER DATE CONSUMER WAS EXPERIENCING A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES HAVE CORD SEPARATION AND THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, CONSUMER PURCHASED FOUR NEW TIRES AND NOW THE VIBRATION IS GONE, CONSUMER BELIEVES THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS DELIVERING NEW VEHICLES WITH TIRE PRESSURE LESS THAN THE FACTORY RECOMMENDATION WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE FIALURE OF THE TIRES ON HIS VEHICLE (CONTINENTAL).*JB
