2001 Volvo V70 T5 review from Japan
"Unreliable, poorly designed, costly vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Failed brake booster, bad suspension and bushings, failed O2 sensor, failed ABS unit, electronic throttle module failed, many light bulb replacements, engine light constantly coming on for unidentified reasons.
General comments?
Extremely unreliable car. Volvo dealer personnel were very professional and admitted to me that the 2001 V70 was an extremely troubled car. All of the things gone wrong with my car we're "common" with V70 according to the Volvo mechanic. Parts are very expensive. This car spent more time in the shop than at home. Never will Volvo get another dime out of me or my family.
