Tl* the contact owns a 2010 volvo v70. The contact stated that the anti-theft tamper device failed and impacted the radiator. The contact indicated that the manufacturer excluded the vehicle from a service campaign. The contact was unable to determine if the dealer's solution would repair the vehicle. A warning indicator illuminated to service the engine and service loss of power. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (volvo cars cape cod, 270 north st, hyannis, ma 02601, 508-815-5400) for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

Around october of 2014 the windshield seal along the top of the windshield began leaking into the car. Water runs down the inside of the windshield, drips onto the dash board, runs behind the dashboard, and drips down onto electrical components on the center console. I've been reading some volvo forums and apparently this is an issue with several volvo models over several years. Apparently the adhesive used to affix the windshield is failing which causes the leaks and, in severe cases, causes the windshield to loosen from the frame. Not only do i believe this is an electrical hazard, but also a safety concern which is epidemic to many newer volvo models. *tr

Safety issue with tire pressure monitoring system (tpms). Sudden loss of air in tire at high speed. Pressure monitoring valve had disintegrated and fallen into tire, we learned, causing immediate flat tire. Corrosion, we were told. Car had less than 41,000 miles on it, and had been maintained at prescribed intervals, and we were not warned that this problem could occur. We narrowly avoided an accident in heavy traffic at highway speeds. This is a significant safety issue.

On december 18, 2010 i encountered a total loss of hydraulic braking caused by an abraded brake-line to the right, front wheel of my 2010 v70. The repair was completed at norco goodyear in mammoth lakes, ca. The service technician who completed the repair found that my car was missing a bracket to clamp the brake line and hold it away from the tire: as a result, the brake-line (hose) was slowly abraded through from wearing against the tire and cable-style snow-chains. The snow-chains had ample clearance on the left front side, where the brake-line hose was installed through a retaining bracket: no such bracket was on the right side and the brake hose touched my tire and snow-chain. Fortunately, i was able to stop the car safely; however, the emergency may have been dire if i had been traveling downhill. *tr
