1994 Volvo 960 review from North America
"Very dependable, safe, smooth running, quiet, comfortable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Left rear wheel bearing failure at 82k miles.
ECT (engine coolant temp) sensor failed at 93k miles.
General comments?
Recently struck from behind while stopped in traffic. Offending vehicle was '98 Dodge minivan traveling at 35 - 40 mph and did not attempt to stop. My 960 was pushed into the vehicle in front and totalled. I had no injuries. I am looking for another 960.
