Probably not. Most people won't even know this happened. It is not like Volvo went out of business.

But let's hope they decide to make this model somewhere else and not just drop it altogether.

Looks pretty grim. "With Volvo canceling less-profitable models left and right, it seems unlikely to devote resources to a low-volume sports car. Then again, CEO Stefan Jacoby has made it clear that the company is thinking about a replacement for the C70; maybe these sketches will influence that car’s shape."

That looks great. But will they do it in a hard top convertible?

#333 of 337 Isolated Volvo Lemon? Or Just The Way They Are? by tomslyck

Apr 26, 2013 (12:28 pm)

Our 2011 Volvo C70 with 15,000 miles has an intermittent problem with the gas cap. The other day, we were half way through a full tank of gas and the Check Engine light came on. When we took it to the dealer, we were told that it was a gas cap problem and they should charge us to reset the Check Engine light even though we hadn't touched the gas cap for 5 days.
  
It had the identical problem at around 6,000 miles so we knew enough to unscrew the cap and put it back on to see if that solved the problem (as our dealer told us it would). But it didn't solve it.
  
Obviously, there's a significant risk to driving around with a Check Engine light on so we have to take it in. Except for this problem, we love the car but this sucks. We're planning a long trip this summer and no longer trust it to get us there and back without this happening again.
  
The dealer tells us there's nothing they can do.
  
Any suggestions?

Well, first, if the dealer tells you there is nothing they can do to fix this car that is under warranty, you should speak to a lemon law lawyer.
 
Or you could try a different dealer first.
 
As to this comment: Obviously, there's a significant risk to driving around with a Check Engine light on
Actually, there isn't a risk. A CEL is emissions related and does not pose a risk. Check your owner's manual and it will tell you that you should just visit a dealer when you can. There is no urgency there. Urgent matters produce other lights and warnings on your dash.

Call Volvo Customer Care. This absolutely should be covered under warranty.

gbrozen - Thanks. I'll read the owner's manual again.
