2007 Volvo V70 Complaints

2007 VOLVO V70. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG. THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WOULD DAMAGE THE COSMETICS OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIRBAG DID NOT MATCH THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE.THE CONSUMER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSMETIC REPAIRS AS THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

Bought 2 SuperMax TM-1 235/45R17 94 H Tires thru Walmart.com from Tirebros. Treadlife advertised as 45K. At less than 20K I brought them in to a tire shop because of terrible pulling while driving. Two tire shops showed me where the the bands were separating, necessitating replacement for safety issue of catastrophic tire tearing apart at speed. Tirebros, the sellers, would not return several emails for warranty and never answered the support phone. Because of that, it's possible they know they are selling bad tires. There is also a page of all negative reviews: https://www.wmtsellers.com/tire-bros#review

THROTTLE BODY HAS ONGOING ISSUES WITH NEEDING TO BE CLEANED FREQUENTLY. CAR HAS ROUGH IDLE, SPUTTERS AND JUMPS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AS WELL AS WHEN STATIONARY. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER WHEN IT DOES THIS WHICH COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN DAMAGED.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN WITH CARE FOR 7 YEARS. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT NOR HAS IT HAD OTHER SIGNIFICANT FAILURES. IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS BOTH SPRINGS ON THE REAR OF THE CAR HAVE BROKEN AND THE CAR HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY. WE REPAIRED THE FIRST ONE ($500) AND WERE TOLD THAT THE DEALER (WYNN VOLVO) HAS NEVER SEEN BROKEN SPRINGS UNTIL THIS YEAR. WHEN THE SECOND ONE WENT TODAY ( WHILE IN THE DRIVEWAY) IT NOT ONLY RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE, BUT ALSO ABOUT THE SAFETY OF IT. IF WE HAD BEEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, SERIOUS INJURY AND POTENTIALLY DEATH MAY HAVE OCCURRED. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A RECURRENT THEME WITH VOLVOS DURING THE LAST DECADE. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS INHERENT DANGER THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE AND YET VOLVO CLAIMS THAT IT IS NOT COMMON. I DISAGREE AND WOULD ENCOURAGE AN INVESTIGATION. *TR

THIS CAR IN THE LAST YEAR HAS HAD BOTH REAR COIL SPRINGS BRAKE IN HALF WHILE JUST DRIVING NORMALLY DOWN THE ROAD IT HAS THROWN OFF THE DRIVABILITY OF THE CAR AND OF COURSE YOU DON'T NOTICE IT UNTIL AFTER THE EVENT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TEMPERING OF THE STEEL COILS. *TR
