1998 Volvo S70 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All the light bulbs had been replaced at least twice in the past 4&1/2 years.
Turn signals were replaced 3 times.
Window control unit need to be replaced before 100,000 miles and it costed almost $400.
At 107,250 miles, the oxygen sensors and both left and right engine pads need to be replaced and it costed me over $1000.
General comments?
This is a very safe car with very smooth handling.
However it just seems like everything begin to fall apart after 100K miles, even I took it to the dealer for services every 5000 miles.
