VOLVO C70 2004 car safety problem was reported on Mar 08, 2006.VOLVO C70 2004, manufactured by VOLVO CARS OF N.A. LLC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . THE 2004 C70 HAS MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE NEW. SINCE OWNERSHIP THIS CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. OVER THE PAST 14 MONTHS OUR CAR HAS STALLED SIX TIMES AS OF 3-8-06. EACH OCCASION HAS HAPPENED IF THE VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN DRIVEN WITHIN FOUR TO FIVE DAYS. EACH SITUATION HAS BEEN DISCOVERED AFTER ITS SAT OVER-NIGHT. THE FIRST SEVERAL TIMES THE DEALER BLAMED IT ON A FAULTY SUN-VISOR WIRE. AS OF THIS DATE, BOTH SUN-VISOR WIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, THEY'VE REPLACED OUR BATTERY THREE TIMES... AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. THE DEALER ALSO CLAIMS THAT DO TO THE ON BOARD COMPUTER WHICH RUNS EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING, THIS WILL CONTINUOUSLY DRAIN THE BATTERY... CAUSING THIS EXPERIENCE. I HAVE THREE REAL CONCERNS: 1. DOES THIS MEAN THAT THE CONSUMER CAN'T LEAVE THEIR CAR AT THE AIRPORT FOR A WEEK TO GO ON A BUSINESS TRIP...? 2. THIS ELECTRICAL SITUATION IS NOT MENTIONED IN ANY OF THE VOLVO AD LITERATURE... MAINTENANCE BOOKS, MAGAZINES OR COMMERCIALS... OR AT TIME OF PURCHASE!!!! ARE THE CONSUMERS EXPECTED TO ABSORB THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT? 3. MY WIFE IS DISABLED. BECAUSE OF THE NUMEROUS REPAIR NON-CONFORMITY.... WE NO LONGER HAVE FAITH IN THIS PRODUCT. WE HAVE WRITTEN THE MANUFACTURER WHO WAS SUPPOSEDLY INVOLVED WITH THIS LAST REPAIR. WE'RE NOW CONVINCED THAT THERE IS A HORRIBLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND VOLVO IS NOW TRYING TO PLAY DAMAGE CONTROL... AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE... AND POSSIBLE LIVES... AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE PUTS MY WIFE'S SAFETY AT RISK.. WE ARE PURSUING REQUESTING THAT THIS VEHICLE BE REPLACED. DON'T BUY THE CONVERTIBLE C70... YOU'LL HAVE PROBLEMS... *JB.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):YV1NC63DX4J. Volvo C70 2004 problem was reported in LOS ANGELES, CA. Original Owner.

VOLVO C70 Visibility
VOLVO C70 2004 Visibility Report #10247842
VOLVO C70 2004 car safety problem was reported on Nov 03, 2008.VOLVO C70 2004, manufactured by VOLVO CARS OF N.A. LLC. had a problem with VISIBILITY . THE SUN VISORS IN MY CAR HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES, TYPICALLY THROUGH BREAKAGE OF THE PLASTIC PIVOT SHAFT. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE VISOR TO THE DOWN POSITION, AND CAN PREVENT THE DRIVER FROM REDUCING GLARE WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ISSUE. FURTHER, THE SHAFT BREAKAGE USUALLY CAUSES WIRING SHORTS THAT CAN DISCHARGE THE BATTERY, OR AT THE VERY LEAST RENDER THE MIRROR LIGHTS INOPERATIVE. I HAVE HAD REPAIRS MADE BY THE DEALER, BUT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE FAILED AS, OR EVEN MORE QUICKLY IN SOME CASES THAN THE ORIGINALS. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 20438 miles.

Volvo C70 2004 Reviews
Having fuel delivery issues, car will not maintain idle and pedal does not work. I have replaced both fuel pumps, coil, wires, cap and rotor, plugs, throttle position sensor. Just ordered mass air flow sensor. Whats next fuel injectors? can the hydraulic clutch on a 2007 vn610 be adjusted? My vovlo s70 1998 lost power going 40mph and then will start right back up. I just bought a 2001 Volvo C70 convertible 113,000 miles - no warranty - it started bucking a bit - I took it for an oil change and they wouldn't do it because the dipstick top came right off and the dipstick is stuck inside so he said he couldn't a/c compressor runs for about 30n seconds after start up then shuts down . 2002 volvo vhd Is it good to buy the Volvo CX60? The passenger seat belt is stuck and will not extend. I have an 2004 xc70. What is the fix? I have fooled with it but no luck. how to install crankshaft gear We keep getting "tire pressure system service required" warnings on our 2007 volvo V70 2.5t. There was a recall on this is for the 2007-2010 v80. start of fuel deliver at the Bosch injetion pump hi want is the correct price for s40 2000 steering rack and pinion and do need the boot and filter
Anyone else seeing this?
