In April 2021 I drove my newly acquired Volvo V70 wagon from Mississippi to my home in RI. Once I reached in and around NYC, the car began to surge forward as I applied the brakes at stop lights/signs. This became most pronounced at the GW Bridge Toll area, in high slow-moving traffic. Several times the car almost got out of control as the brakes were barely enough to stop the car from ramming into other vehicles. Cars and huge trucks were honking their horns as I broke, swerved, smoke clouds from high idling in...

Complete speedometer cluster does not work. No fuel gauge tachometer temperature or speedometer. I've talked to many other people that had that exact same problem. It cuts in and out randomly but that was in the beginning now it does not work at all. Could be a safety issue not knowing how fast you were going or how much fuel you have. I have ran out of gas a few times while moving since I don't know how much is in there. I keep worrying about getting a ticket since I don't know how fast I'm going

TAKATA RECALL: FUEL SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE.

The vehicle stalls or goes into "limp" mode often upon acceleration, but also apparently randomly. There is a recall for the same model of a different year described as "vehicles going into the limp home mode without need". I took it to a volvo mechanic and he found no problem, but he cleaned some parts and charged me. It still happens and is dangerous since the car could stall in traffic. It has happened over 100 times. I called volvo "support" and they said they could do nothing since there is no recall on that...

1) Fuel smell, and harder to start engine. Engine crank w/o problem. Symptoms started around july 4th last year, getting sever and more often.

My transmission is jerking between reverse and drive. The car hesitates and then slams forward. I have read all over the internet where other people have had the same problem. *Js

The vehicle smelled of gasoline and needed to have the fuel pump repaired, spending 700 dollars out of pocket. *Tr

I was driving at approximately 6:30am, it was still dark, and my dashboard would not display. I was going about 35 miles per hour. I panicked because it tells me all the critical things about the moving vehicle. Then about 2 minutes later it came on. This non-display of the dashboard would intermittently happen when I drove the vehicle over the next month. I could not detect what the problem was. I went online and other volvo v70 owner had the same problem. It stated that the problem was the dim (drive information...

Would like to know why the above referenced vehicle, volvo brand, is not on your recall notification list. We have both models. Thank you. *Tr

Fyi: volvo has a silent recall/ replacement of seat bottoms when your seat heater has malfunctioned and burned a hole through your seat. A hole magically appeared in my seat bottom and fortunately didn't burn me. Volvo replaced the entire seat bottom unit with a new seat bottom for free at 188,000 miles! *Tr

Instrument cluster: service airbag warning came on and stayed on, shortly thereafter clock started going backwards rapidly, all gauges went off (came back with a smack to the dash). Found out there was no fault in airbags but the cluster's solder joints had loosened. (Volvo went to lead-free solder around this time) volvo's fix involves replacing the cluster for $1200 for the part. I got a used one from junkyard and replaced it myself. Now it's two years later and this cluster is starting to exhibit the clock and...

First, I got a message on the instrument panel saying "srs airbag urgent." A few days later, the panel started to intermittently work. When it doesn't work, I have no working speedometer, fuel gauge, odometer, blinkers (although they still work outside the car), or any other light that would normally be shown on the panel. Occasionally everything comes on, then it freezes, and eventually turns back off. Took it to shop and they tried a different panel but it has to be coded in and the software was not compatible....
