What owners say
We had tons of problems with the car immed. After purchase-check engine light was always coming on,car stalling,light coming on dashboard,car noises, engine leaks. The car could not be fixed by carmax as far as check engine light is concerned so we brought the car to a volvo dealer. Check engine light was repaired numerous times yet still came back on. I never got any recall letters concerning frontal airbag issues in 1998 volvo. I always had a fear that all of the electrical problems-dashboard lights,check engine light-would result in a safety problem. I want to know if the airbags were connected and if the car had previously been in a wreck. Did carmax check to see if the SRS system was working?
The fuel tank on my 1998 volvo v70 has failed. The check engine light came on in my car about 6 months ago. After replacing almost my entire fuel evap system, volvo determined my fuel tank had a leak. I requested that volvo replace my fuel tank at their expense, because I feel that a fuel tank should be expected to last more than 8 years. Volvo has refused to recall the tank and has absolved themselves of any responsibility for the failure.
Stalling and check engine light. Stalling at normal operating speed with resulting loss of power, steering and brakes. The mass air sensor and intake hose were replaced.
While traveling on the highway check engine light will appear on the dashboard. Due to the gasoline cap being loose the check engine light will appear on the dashboard. Consumer has to go to the dealer to have it turned off.
Consumer stated the check engine light illuminated, the dealer informed consumer is was due to a fuel fill pipe problem.
