2004 Volvo V70 Problems, complaints & recalls

This vehicle, a 2004 V70 wagon, is exhibiting the exact safety defect described in Campaign 09V483000 / R220 (fuel odor, leaking flange, residual pressure loss). But because my VIN is not specifically on the list (it has been registered in CT, not in a "warm climate"), Volvo is refusing to fix. It is clear that this vehicle has the issue described in the recall (the top of the tank has been visualized). The issue started in January 2026 and has steadily worsened. With the amount of gasoline leaking, this is not only a safety issue but also an EMISSIONS issue.

The front passenger seat belt locks up. When pulled out it will not go back in causing the passenger not to be able to wear a seat belt. I think it might be the seat belt retractor I would like to have it fixed I believe it is a safety issue and I am looking for this to be covered for replacement and for file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/65/05/312F1483-F6ED-4A2B-8FEF-893294D0E482/IMG_4244.HEIC

All the recall problems is wrong with my car please help me

I was at our automotive shop and had to give a customer a ride to work. I had the seat warmers on because it was cold outside. About a minute into the drive, I feel a burning sensation on my left outer thigh. I thought nothing of it. The burning sensation got worse, I stated, "something's burning me!" The customer states she smells something burning, like wires. I pull over, hop out of the car to notice a burn hole in my seat. Luckily, I did not get severely burnt, however, my thigh was sore for about 4 hours....

My control arm on the front right is coming loose and is giving less control in turning, also my car is having issues with the fuel pump. All of these problems are demonstrated while under motion on any terrain and the fuel problem is observed more during acceleration.

While driving with my 2 year old...I smelled what I thought was my engine overheating, pulled over to take a look and as opened my drivers side door smoke was billowing out of my seat, melting a hole through to the left side of seat bottom, near backrest and seat adjustment buttons. Luckily, after turning the seat heater off the electrical malfunction cooled off. I went to local volve dealership and they said "your car is too old to have a valid recall status", nor did they offer to assist in any way.

Vehicle warning light for airbag is alarming since my airbag didn't deploy in my 2017 car accident when my car was hit from rear, front and driver side. Car was total. Seat beat and airbag failure in vehicle during accident while moving. This vehicle had a small tap accident but airbag warning light continues to appear but airbag didn't deploy..

The radiator fan ran consistently although I was driving in the winter coming back from lake tahoe. While driving on the highway a smell of burned rubber started to spread inside the car so I immediately slowed down and parked it on the emergency lane. After opening the hood, a fire came out. The entire fan melted as a result of overheated due to it running nonstop.

I was departing my home village about a block from my home and I heard a loud bang in the front driver side at about 15 mph!! No bump.. Nothing! I looked under the car and there was no obvious issue at the initial look and I drove another quarter mile and heard a slight grind or noise on small bumps... Then a clank. I backed up and there was a piece of the coil spring on the road!!!! The front left - drivers side - coil spring snapped in two. At 101,000 miles. The clean break and no rust or unusual corrosion...

After investigation, I discovered that used vehicle just purchased (2004 volvo v70) had a bad rem module; rendering fuel gauge, rear door locks, fuel door latch, and hatchback lock inoperative. The rear hatchback has no manual method to lock it; making vehicle unsecurable. Investigation online indicates this is a known issue. Dealer wants around $200 to update software to fix problems. This is unacceptable, since at least two critical items (hatchback and fuel door latches) depend on functioning rem to secure them. I believe these items should be covered by the manufacturer regardless of age.

Strong smell of gas after parking car. Both sides by rear tires.

My driver side seat heater caught on fire today and smoldered a hole through the seat. I was driving in a residential neighborhood in the morning around 9:15am.

When we first purchased the car we drove it for about a week before it started surging forward and stalling a lot. My fianc and I would have to pull over, park the car, have to turn the key three times before starting. Would have to repeat process every 5 minutes. So we took it to paramount volvo of hickory, ended up taking it there for service. Dropped it off with a max full tank of gas as well, along with personal items we left in the car. It takes then about 4 or 5 days before calling us back with diagnostics,...

Prking brake friction lining delaminates from brake shoe, then gets jammed intermittently in the disk brake system, causing lurching stops. Photo available of the friction lining fragments.Others on internet report that fragments have caused enormous wheel damage at highway speeds.

I have had two volvo v70 station wagons. Both of them have exhibited the following- when filling at certain gas stations (sunoco most recently) the gas pump will not shut off automatically before fuel comes pouring out of the filler. I believe it is a fuel filler problem in the car, not in the pump, because I do not have this problem with any of our other cars. I believe it is either an issue of the car's fuel filler tube shape, or dimensions. Dangerous! Approx 1 full cup of gas.

Entering my vehicle I smelled a strong odor of gasoline. Upon investigation, I found this was due to a cracked fuel pump. Because of this very problem, this make and model of vehicle was officially recalled by volvo in 2009 as part of nhtsa action number : pe09039 nhtsa recall campaign number : 09v483000 . However the recall only applies to vehicles sold in al, az, ar, ca, fl, ga, hi, ky, la, ms, nv, nm, nc, ok, sc, tn, tx, ut, va and the us territories. The problem can happen to any of these cars regardless of...

Driving on freeway at 60 mph, vehicle motor quit- dash lights came on-was able to move to shoulder-where vehicle restarted in neutral then died again- since vehicle has died very often after driving with absoulutly no warning-very very dangerous- was told drive by wire problem- eltronic throttle control, electronic fuel regulator, pedal and or throttle sensors-any number of electric sensor problem--all of this is "drive by wire" unsafe design

I had traveled approximately 40 miles at a speed between 55 and 70 mph, when the sunroof exploded. I was driving on highway 67 near newport arkansas. Outside temperature was in the high 90's. Nothing around my vehicle at the time of the incident and the sunroof was protruding out with a large hole blown in the glass.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 volvo v70. While driving at 45 mph, the vehicle decelerated and came to a complete stop. The contact mentioned that the steering wheel was difficult to steer and the engine light illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart. The failure recurred six times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pressure sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 07v226000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

I was driving at about 35 mph. When I slowed down to make a 90 degree right turn, without warning the engine and power steering went off as I was turning. I had to manually steer the car and luckily did not crash because there was no car in the opposite lane. I pulled over to the side of the road, restarted the car, and received no error message. I took the car to the local volvo dealer where they could find nothing wrong and deny this is a recall issue.

The driver side seat warmer caught fire. It burned a hole through the side of the seat cover and also caused a mild burn to my leg. I stopped the car, shut of the seat warmer, and was able to extinguish the fire while it was still small. A search on the internet revealed that other owners have experienced this problem. *Tr

Driving home from detroit to indianapolis on highway... Check engine light came on, then went out a little further down the road... Later came on again... Engine was running fine... Then sudden power loss....Engine completely stopped... Coasted to side of highway with no power steering or power brakes... Restarted engine... Engine ran well enough to get me to next exit before losing power again... This time it wouldn't run well enough to drive it after restarting.... After expensive trip to dealer for repair, found...

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 volvo v70. The contact stated that the rear passenger seat belt buckle failed to unlatch. The seat belt had to be cut in order to release the passenger after three hours. Prior to the failure, the buckle was difficult to latch. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin was unavailable. The failure mileage was unknown.

When the vehicle is driving at any speed and the accelerator pedal is pushed down, there is often a loss of power and the vehicle will not move forward for up to 5 to 10 seconds. There is a recall on this year and model already but my specific vehicle with my vin is not covered. However our vehicle is doing the exact same thing as the vehicles that have been recalled. I have spoken to volvo but they have been unwilling to work with us to repair the vehicle. I feel as though the previous recall should have been expanded but I am unsure. Thank you *tr
