2001 Volvo XC70 review from North America
"A nice looking, comfortable piece of junk!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear seat belt locked up at 69000.
Recently the Rear crank shaft seal was replaced along with a new turbo. $4000 And now the catalytic converter needs replacing at 79000. ($2000)
General comments?
This car drive very nicely but, it is completely unreliable and poorly designed. I've own this car about a year and treat it very well with little use and it's cost me over $6000 already. The previous owner purchased it new from the dealership and had it regularly serviced locally at the dealership. The car has been nursed and it's still breaking down.
It's a piece of junk and I plan to get rid of it asap.
