CERTAIN VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THE LABEL DENOTING THE TIRE AND LOADING PRESSURE INFORMATION IS INCORRECT.

The glue used by Volvo for this era of cars is known to fail causing the side mirrors to fall off. I have had to replace the both side mirrors due to this issue.

I have been requesting the recall service of my vehicle since November 2020. I was first told by the dealership they were delayed in getting the replacement airbag but should in January. Called in January and they still didn’t have them and after asking I was put on a list and told they would contact me. I checked back in August 2021 and was told I was still on the list. I have not been contacted by the dealership since that time and my recall is still not repaired. The nearest dealership is in the next state 2.5 hours away. I just want this completed as I’ve been potentially driving a dangerous (to me) vehicle for over 2 years now.

The contact owns a 2006 Volvo V70. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V800000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The recall notice was issued on December 14, 2021. No area Volvo dealer has the parts to repair or replace the air bag. I have been told I am on a "waiting list" A reasonable amount of time has elapsed to repair my vehicle. Volvo Car, USA. Volvo Car, USA by email advised me to contact another local dealer in my area on March 12, 2022: "Thank you for your patience while your case was open. I apologize for any inconvenience. if your servicing dealer does not have the parts to complete the repairs for your vehicle. You have the option of making an appointment with the other dealers in your area. Our search has shown that Herzog-Meier Volvo Cars is a feasible option for you. Please find their information listed below." Herzog-Meier Volvo Cars advised me to call my own dealer, Jim Fisher Volvo since they did not have the parts to repair or replace my air bag. I contacted JIm Fisher Volvo again and they did not have the parts and I remain on their waiting list.

THE TWO BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE BALL JOINT TO THE KNUCKLE SOMEHOW WORKED LOOSE AND FELL OUT, CAUSING THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL TO FALL OFF THE CAR. FORTUNATELY THE SEPARATION HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED, BUT IF THE CAR HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT NORMAL ROAD OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE FAILURE WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. NONE OF THE PARTS HAD ANY PRIOR DAMAGE, ALL WERE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR, AND THE MECHANICS COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE BOLTS WORKED LOOSE. VOLVO USA HAD NO INTEREST IN INVESTIGATING OR UNDERSTANDING THIS FAILURE, WHICH IS REMARKABLE GIVEN ITS NATURE AND POTENTIAL FOR CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. NOR WERE THEY WILLING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OR RELATED DAMAGE. I RECOVERED AND HAVE POSSESSION OF THE BALL JOINT, KNUCKLE AND BOLTS, AS WELL AS PHOTOS DETAILING THE FAILURE AND DAMAGE (INCLUDING ROAD SKID MARKS FROM THE DRAGGING WHEEL), AND RECEIPTS FOR THE REPAIR WHICH TOTALED OVER $1,000 EXCLUDING BODY DAMAGE.

2006 VOLVO V70 2.5T, 100K MILES. IGNITION CYLINDER JAMS RENDING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF SIMILAR INSTANCES. A DISABLED VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS. THE IGNITION CYLINDER IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO RECALL YEARS AGO. *TR

JUST GOT OFF WORK AND I WAS ON MY WAY TO PICK UP MY CHILDREN FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE SCHOOLS/DAYCARE. THERE WAS A NINE WHEELER MOVING VERY SLOWLY IN FRONT OF ME SO THE CAR IN MY REAR DECIDED TO OVERTAKE ME TO HIS LEFT AND AS SOON AS HE DID THAT MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR JUST FLUNG OPEN BY ITSELF. THE KNOB ON THE DOOR WAS STILL DOWN(IN LOCK POSITION). I WAS SO TERRIFIED BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING DISENGAGED IN MY CAR AND THE WHOLE DRIVER SIDE DOOR JUST CAME LOOSE.

FRONT SEAT BELTS ON VEHICLE HAVE PROBLEMS. SINCE PURCHASE, BOTH FRONT (DRIVER & PASSENGER) SEATBELTS ARE OVERLY STICKY, AND OFTEN CANNOT BE PULLED OUT OF HARNESS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED, IN ORDER TO PUT SEATBELTS ON. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE ON EVEN THE SLIGHTEST GRADE. IN OTHER WORDS UNLESS VEHICLE IS PARKED ON A TOTALLY FLAT SURFACE (RARE ON ACTUAL STREETS) SEATBELTS WILL OFTEN STAY RETRACTED OR ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO EXTRACT. I OFTEN HAVE TO DRIVE TO A FLATTER LOCATION IN ORDER TO PUT MY SEATBELT ON. (DRIVE WITHOUT SEATBELTS IN ORDER TO GET TO A PLACE WHERE BELTS CAN BE PUT ON.) ONCE ON, THE SEATBELTS LOCK UP AND PIN DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER TO THE SEAT WITH EVEN THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT, E.G. TO ADJUST RADIO. (I KNOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN WITH HARD BRAKING, ETC, BUT IT IS HAPPENING WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENTS.) I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER ON 4 OCCASIONS, AND EACH TIME HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PROBLEM IS "NORMAL" FOR THE V70 AND THE S60. IN OTHER WORDS THIS IS A
