The ignition switch frequently jams, locked, in the "off" position. the key can be inserted, but the ignition lock will not turn, making it impossible to start and operate the vehicle or turn on accessories or turn the steering wheel, rendering the vehicle completely inoperative. when the ignition IS in the "on" position, it can be turned off without difficulty. when it IS "off," however, it frequently can not be turned "on". a quick internet search revealed that this IS a rather common problem.

I was on the entrance ramp to I-94 when the accelerator stomped flush to the floor. The engine revved uncontrollably and I tried to clutch it down but kept on accelerating. At this point I turned off the ignition but that did no good. All the instrumentation turned off but the engine was maxed out and was going berserk. I had a clutch so I pushed it into neutral but the rpms went to the 7,000s. With the keys off, I pulled of the interstate desperately trying to slow down the rpms but nothing worked. I finally put it into gear to try and stop it and it literally 'blew up'. It's totaled. What I want to know IS if this has been previously reported, if there has been any kind of recall on this. Volvo wouldn't answer any of my questions. It was a great car but it was a very dangerous situation that I haven't been able to get any answers about. It apparently was some kind of a computer malfunction as a mechanical failure would have been solved by turning the key 'off'! I want to lodge a complaint but don't know where to start.

I just purchased about 2 months ago a 1998 volvo V70 used on 4/3/2014 for 3000.00 . The vehicle drove just fine up until two weeks ago where the transmission seems to be slipping. While I was riding on I695 and was going about sixty miles per hour when the car jerked and cut off, meaning blinking in and out of the electrical system along with the engine as I was pulling over on the shoulder, which IS terribly unsafe. I assumed and thought volvo's were great on miles and transmission so I didn't expect it to be having these type of issues. I am a first time volvo purchaser and highly disappointed and it's to expensive for all the hassles. All of the minor issues were expected because of the vehicle being a used car. Also, I cannot even check the transmission fluid levels in order to see if all I need IS some transmission fluid, the dipstick that leads to the transmission IS stuck, as in I have tried pulling, twisting and turning but to no avail. After purchasing a 300 dollar key pad from the dealer I expect more from the manual and at least to be able to check all fluids on the vehicle. If these minor issues didn't evolve into major issues with my volvo vehicle I would not have an issue. Yet the problem IS that these minor issues are indeed causing major repairs which IS simply unacceptable and causing unsafe driving hazardous situations that could indeed affect the life of myself and other drivers. thank you very much for listen and hopefully directly addressing my concerns.

Drivers side door hinge/strap failed causing door to break from frame and become dysfunctional. As it worsened over a few days the door became increasingly difficult to open where it became a safety concern. Volvo mechanic referred to auto metal service shop which replaced/repaired door strap and welded door back to frame and confirmed this was a known "workmanship" defect with a number of volvo models and years. volvo n.a. Was notified of this 9/13/13 and was interested to see the repair invoice, which was provided to them, but in the end they declined to reimburse for this flaw stating the car was no longer covered by a manufacturer's warranty. when the drivers side door becomes dysfunctional from faulty workmanship that indicates a safety issue that the manufacturer should "man up" and repair/recall or reimburse the owner for, regardless if the vehicle IS no longer under manufacturer's warranty. Doors shouldn't just break off from the frame under normal use. There was no crash or abuse involved with this door. It just broke like a cheap, inferior product. *tr

Estimated cost of repair IS $600 - to $800.

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?*tr

- 10167887Technical Journal TITLE : The Error Frame Finder (EFF) can be an aid in fault tracing intermittent CAN network problems by providing a visible indication of error frames that are being transmitted on the network when the fault becomes active. The advantage of using the EFF function is that error frames are usually transmitted on the network before a vehicle symptom can occur. Hence, if the fault is very intermittent in nature, it may be possible, for example, to induce the wiring fault for a short duration by manipulating the vehicle harnesses and connectors. The electrical fault will occur and be detected by the EFF without ever having a vehicle symptom appear. The instructions for setting up the tool have been simplified.
