2004 Volvo C70 Problems, complaints & recalls

I brought my car to Firestone at [[redacted]] ri. When I picked up my car the mechanic handed me a lug nut from my car. He said he over tightened it and it broke off. I asked if it was safe to drive and he said yes you have 4 other bolts on it you don't need it. Then he said during the repair he can't seem to take the key out of the ignition. He said it just needs to be driven and the safety feature would reset. So I left with my car and after a day and a half I called Firestone left a message that the key still...

I was driving down the highway and the battery light came on and the car got a little sluggish and then all of a sudden it went black I was driving at night so I noticed immediately because the headlights went out everything on the dash that was illuminated lost light and the car stalled and then sputter and stall it just was no longer running pulled over to the side of the road put it in park turn the key off waited about 2 minutes turn the key back on to see if I had lights because I thought it was the battery...

Hard shifting between 1st & 2nd gear. Causes the tires to skid feeling like the vehicle has been hit from behind. This happens after the vehicle warms up and in a stop and go environment.

The airbag symbol appears on the dashboard also check engine light stays on as well. Even when I get it(electrical) repaired: it reappear after a couple of weeks.{While driving these symbols appear still as of this day. Please can you advice me where I should have it fix. I live in marengo, iowa 52301

I thoight my tranmission was going at fitst the csr would buck. The other day the csr jumped forward. Raced like briefly. Today my ets light went on. Electronic throttle service light. Reading up on this states problems noted but dealership says I have to pay replacement parts and labor. I feel it should b a recall. This is dadangerous and expensive

I had entered the car, which was in park and not turned on, reached for my seat belt and the driver side airbag spontaneously deployed. There was no impact or reason for the deployment. The deployment caused a minor injury to left arm.

The transmission began to shift hard. Now at less than 125, it needs a new one. *Tr

Hard up shifting from 1st to 2nd and down shifting when car is warm. Drives fine at highway speeds. *Js

I was driving my 2004 volvo c70 when I drifted off into a high curb. This caused my passenger airbag to deploy.The loud and disrupting noise then caused me to loose all control of the car. As I then ran through a fence and trees before I came to a stop. I was the only one in the car. So why did the empty passenger seat bag deploy. And why did the drivers airbag not deploy. *Tr

Vehicle start then die or just crank and no start. At the time problem thought to be fuel pump relay. Immobilizer was checked but nothing done. Immobilizer continued to be a problem (after warranty expired); keys have been replaced/recoded, immobilizer control module found faulty and replaced, antenna ring found faulty and replaced. This is a safety issue because there is no warning prior to this occurring; it just will not start when the key is put into the ignition (could be day or night - you are just...

Transmission failure with under 90k miles and vehicle receiving regular service from volvo dealerships. This appears to be a frequent occurrence among c70 volvo owners. *Tt

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 volvo c70. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the check engine light would illuminate on the instrumental panel. As he drove, he felt a violent shutter and the vehicle would appear as if it would stall. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the "etm" or electronic throttle module failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 118,000.

Intermitten problem with fuel pump/fuel pressure. No fuel pressure sometimes during idle and start up. Very similar to the problem that we had with our 2003 volvo s80 which is now under recall.

The sun visors in my car have failed multiple times, typically through breakage of the plastic pivot shaft. This makes it difficult to move the visor to the down position, and can prevent the driver from reducing glare when driving into the sun. This is a safety hazard issue. Further, the shaft breakage usually causes wiring shorts that can discharge the battery, or at the very least render the mirror lights inoperative. I have had repairs made by the dealer, but the replacement parts have failed as, or even more quickly in some cases than the originals. *Tr

My wife and I leased this car in april 2004 . Since that time we have had it to dealer for service eight times for starting problems. The car can be hot or cold. It will not stall while running this is just when you go to start it. *Ak so far, they have replaceed an immobilizer two times,an engine speed sensor three times, replaced an engine immobilzer antenna ring two times, a main relay once,totally reloaded the computer system once,and replaced an rpm sensor once. This is by far the worse car I've ever...

The 2004 c70 has major electrical problems. We purchased our vehicle new. Since ownership this car has been well maintained. Over the past 14 months our car has stalled six times as of 3-8-06. Each occasion has happened if the vehicle hasn't been driven within four to five days. Each situation has been discovered after its sat over-night. The first several times the dealer blamed it on a faulty sun-visor wire. As of this date, both sun-visor wires have been replaced, they've replaced our battery three...
