My 2008 volvos engine caught on fire while I was shopping , the engine is completely destroyed so it is totaled.

Have had multiple overheating incidents while driving, which coincided with the air conditioner stopping working. I think learned of volvo recall #09v218000 which describes exactly the failure I've been experiencing. I contacted volvo customer service, but they claim that my vin does not fall under the vehicles recalled. The referenced above was for 17,614 2008-2009 xc70, s80, and v70 vehicles.

Our car has about 93,000 miles on it. Beginning at 60,000 miles, the car began to use an excessive amount of oil. The low oil indicator comes on and we need to add one or more quarts of oil at each 3,000 to 3,500 miles. The car dealer tells us it is "normal" for some cars to use this amount of oil and the problem has not been resolved. I noticed a recall noticetsb #tj30021 covered some 2011 volvo xc 70s for oil loss. Why does it not cover the 2010 cars? This is a continuing problem with my car. Have there been other complaints similar to mine? I have records for my oil changes from the car dealership.

After driving for about 20 minutes in 77f, sunny, dry conditions, I'd come off the freeway and stopped for about 15 seconds at a light to make a left turn. When I started making the left, someone blew through the red light to turn right coming from the opposite direction right in front of me. I let off the throttle but the throttle did not release. I was going about 15-20mph with the engine around 2,000rpm in, most likely, third gear. Since I was at low speed, I promptly tried gently tipping in the throttle to see...

Vehicle ignition assembly failed, immobilizing car. Key wouldn't move past "i" position, preventing it from starting. The steering wheel was locked and the transmission couldn't be moved from the park position. Vehicle had to be towed to volvo dealer for repair. *Tr

When driving through puddles of water, slush or snow, the exhaust may cool down fast enough to change shape and touch the propeller shaft, causing a high pitched squealing noise. This noise will be noticed by the driver for only a short time; once the exhaust temperature equalizes the noise will disappear. This creates a high-pitched, siren like noise, which can scare the driver causing his/her to swerve or lose control of the vehicle. The is a design defect recognized by volvo with repair kit available pn# 30742265. As this is a design defect and a serious safety issue, this should be recalled by volvo and not a $250.00 Repair by the customer. *Tr

Low coolant warning light comes on every 2 - 3 months. Vehicle continues to need coolant added at regular intervals. Dealership has not been able to find leak or fault with warning light to date. I am convinced there's a malfunction yet to be determined. *Tr
