#25 of 34 Re: 2001 V70XC - transmission surge [231sally] by cranky2 Jan 30, 2009 (1:53 pm)
Replying to: 231sally (Sep 25, 2008 4:08 pm) What did you do regarding your transmission? Just yesterday I drained my trans fluid (2002 XC70 96,000 miles) and replaced about a gallon with fresh fluid purchased from the dealer (at $15.00 a liter). Now the car won't shift into third. Same exact symptoms that you described. I'm sick to my stomach. I thought I was doing a good thing and now the car is a colossal pain in the ass to drive; and DANGEROUS!

Replying to: antrow1 (Jan 17, 2008 5:20 am) Just wondering how you've made out with the rattles etc and clunking? I hear those same sounds when cornering and going over rough roads. Has Volvo bought it back? I would really appreciated any info you can provide as I am going to a adjudicator this week with the same problems and more. Also if you have a case # I could refer to it would be great. Hang in and don't give up.

Replying to: cranky2 (Jan 30, 2009 1:53 pm) I had to have a soft rebuild of my transmission costing $3400 Not at all happy as I felt that the dealer should have found the problem when I complained of the problem, of course when it went it was no longer under warranty
#28 of 34 2006 xc70 noise issues by lt316 Apr 01, 2009 (12:29 pm)
With four passengers or full car there is a clunk noise when starting from stop position. Also appears when slow moving into a "bumpy" parking lot (especially after traveling for a while). It does not show up in lightly loaded or short drives. Any suggestions where to look? Car is under warrenty but have feeling that it something that is just on the cusp and if I buy it off lease then it will surely show up.

#30 of 34 New VolvoXC70AWD bought-1 wk later had to have a new pwr strng rack asembly by volvoownertoo Sep 02, 2009 (9:47 am)
New Volvo XC70 AWD purchased and 1 week later had to have a new power steering rack assembly and hose replace the factory installed one - whining noise while driving and turning steering wheel and leaking power steering fluid.   Our questions are:   Anyone else with these problems?   Shouldn't the dealer replace our car with a similar one?   Assuming we have no further issues, how does this affect the resale value of this car. Currently has 1000+ miles on it. Bought it at around 100 miles (?).   Is this car safe to drive?
#31 of 34 2002 xc70 control arm issue by jkwong Sep 20, 2009 (11:13 am)
I bought this car new & experienced 'wondering' on the hi-way at around 10k mi. happy driving. I brought it back to the dealer & they gave me a free wheel balance - it kind of make it a little better. But the 'wondering' exists. I brought it back the 2nd time, they did the same thing except this time they charged me $70 for it. few months passed, I start hearing loose metal noise under the fron of the car. I brought it back & they decided its the control arm loose & replaced it under warranty....the 'wondering' is FIXED after that....hmmm, I was thinking of getting them to re-paid me on the $75 alignment but didn't. Now the car is almost at 100,000 mi. and going strong.   -Joe

Replying to: lt316 (Apr 01, 2009 12:29 pm) I have similar issue on a XC70 T6 (2009) with 6k miles. Only difference is that the issue also shows with just driver onboard. But main parameter is that the car only does it when warm (i.e. after driving a while) and only when going slowly ove bumpy roads. Also, the noise is combined with heavy reduction in suspension compensation leaving a "wooden" feeling in tackling potholes, bumps etc. Did you ever resolve your issue?

Replying to: alvas02 (Nov 12, 2009 11:51 pm) The dealer replaced the whole power steering system and we have been driving the car everyday since the replacement. The steering squeaks when we first start the car to drive and we hear a clunk when put into gear. I will be making a complaint at https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/Complaint.cfm as suggested by earlier post. Please do the same. Very upsetting to have these major issues with a new expensive car. Hope to have a safe driving with my kids through the winter in the midwest.
