2006 Volvo XC70 Complaints

HERE IS THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM THAT I POSTED ON SWEDESPEED FORUMS > V70 & V70XC & XC70 (2001-CURRENT) REGARDING SUN GLARE IN OUR NEW XC70 VOLVO THAT IS SO DISTRACTING THAT I FEEL IT IS A HAZARD: POST TITLE: XC70 LIGHT INTERIOR REFLECTION ON DRIVER'S WINDOW POSTED BY: GRETAMAX AT 2:28 PM 7-31-2006 WE JUST BOUGHT A 2006 XC70 WITH A TAUPE INTERIOR. WHEN DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY THE REFLECTION OF THE DASH ON THE DRIVER'S WINDOW IS STRONG ENOUGH TO BE A DISTRACTION. WEARING GOOD SUNGLASSES HELPS A LOT. VOLVO CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS IT'S THE DESIGN AND IS SUGGESTING PUTTING A DARK CLOTH OVER THE DASH. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? ANY CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTIONS? HERE ARE A FEW OF THE RESPONSES I RECEIVED FROM OTHER VOLVO OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM: POST TITLE: RE: XC70 LIGHT INTERIOR REFLECTION ON DRIVER'S WINDOW (DUGUMS) POSTED BY: KASUMI AT 8:00 AM 8-1-2006 I THOUGHT MY WIFE WAS CRAZY WHEN SHE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE REFLECTION IN OUR 2004 V70. THEN I TRIED TO DRI...

THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT. ALIGNMENT WAS CHECKED AND WAS SLIGHTLY OFF. IT WAS CORRECTED BUT THE CAR STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT. I DROVE ONE OTHER XC70 THAT WAS A LOANER CAR FROM THE DEALER AND IT DROVE THE SAME. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED BOTH REAR OUTBOARD SEAT BELTS HAVE A PLASTIC SHIELD ON THEM, WHICH CAUSES THE SEAT BELT TO BECOME ENTANGLED. IF THE SEAT BELTS ARE BEING OCCUPIED AND THE PASSENGER LEANS FORWARD, THE SEAT BELT GETS ENTANGLED IN THE PLASTIC SHIELD CAUSING EXCESSIVE SLACK THAT WILL NOT RETRACT. THE DEALER IS ORDERING A NEW RETRACTOR FOR THE SEAT BELTS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN ALERTED. UPDATED 05/10/06. *JB
