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.

MAIN ENGINE WIRING HARNESS DESTROYED, ENGINE STILL RAN- TEMP, FLUIDS, CAM TIMING, MASS AIR FLOW, FUEL RAIL, THROTTLE POSITION -SENSORS, INSTRUMENT PANEL. HAD CHECKED OIL TWO DAYS EARLIER, WAS NO DAMAGE. WIND SCREEN WASHER LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I TRIED TO START ENGINE, CHECKED AND FOUND DAMAGE -WAS ONE OF THE SENSORS WHICH WAS DAMAGED - FLUID BOTTLE WAS OK. SOME MINOR WIRES WERE STILL ATTACHED. THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSED AN ENGINE MALFUNCTION. THERE WAS ALWAYS A SLIGHT ODOR IN HOT WEATHER OR WHEN ON A LONG RUN- WAS THE SOY BASED POLYMERS VOLVO USED WITHOUT ANY "ODOR INHIBITORS", THE LOOMS COVERINGS DO BIODEGRADE QUICKER IN HOT WEATHER EXPOSURE WITHOUT AN INHIBITOR AND DISINTEGRATE LEAVING THE LOOM TO OPEN UP AND BE EXPOSED TO DAMAGE! THE HOOD INSULATION WAS ALSO DESTROYED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED TOTAL REPLACEMENT AND LABOR $2.,827.42
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
DRIVING ON COMMUNITY STREET 25MPH HEARD LOUD EXPLOSION . CAR BARELY RAN BUT GOT 1 BLOCK TO AN AUDI DEALER . THEY INSPECTED CAR AND TOLD ME PARKING BRAKE EXPLODED AND GAVE ME LOTS OF METAL PIECES TO SHOW THE VOLVO MECHANIC . CALLED VOLVO OF NORTH AMERICA BUT THEY DENIED EVER HEARING ABOUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM AND VOLVO DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1700 TO REPLACE PARKING BRAKES . TALKING TO OTHER VOLVO OWNERS THEY HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM AND VOLVO REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL . IS THERE ANY WAY YOUR AGENCY CAN ENCOURAGE VOLVO TO DO A RECALL ? THANKS *TR
TRANSMISSION FAILED ON CAR CAUSING ROUGH BUCKING AT LOWER SPEEDS. *TR
CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC THREE TIMES. OUR MECHANIC SAID IT THAT THE WIRES TO THE FUEL PUMP AND ITS MODULE WERE ROTTING, CAUSING ELECTRIC PROBLEMS AND THE STALLS IN TRAFFIC. IT NOW APPEARS VOLVO KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN TO ITS MECHANICS AS TO HOW TO FIX IT BUT HAS NOT NOTIFIED THE PUBLIC OR ISSUED A RECALL. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE STALLS CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND ROTTING WIRES CAN CAUSE FIRES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 VOLVO V70. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE GEARS WERE NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN A LOWER GEAR.

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. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO CATCH IT RIGHT AWAY OR ELSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL CAUSE SPEED LIMIT WAS 45MPH AND FOLKS WERE GOING 50 OR MORE MPH. BEFORE DRIVING MY CAR THAT DAY, I LOCKED ALL MY DOORS FROM THE INSIDE SO I WAS VERY BAFFLED THAT A DOOR CAN OPEN ITSELF( WITH THE KNOB IN A LOCK POSITION) . I FEEL LIKE THE FORCE OF THE CAR THAT OVERTOOK ME DID SOMETHING TO DISENGAGE MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES COMING OUT FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. BUT I AM STILL NOT SATISFIED! WHAT IF MY KIDS WERE INSIDE THE CAR AND THERE DOOR FLUNG OPEN? I CALLED THE CUSTOMER CARE CONSULTANT FOR THE MAKER OF MY CAR BUT THE LADY I SPOKE WITH WAS SO RUDE BEYOND BELIEF. PLEASE HELP!!! I HAVE DEALT WITH A LOT OF CARS AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN MY WHOLE LIKE. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING ABOUT CARS; WHATEVER HAPPENS TO A CAR WHILE DRIVING IT EVERYDAY DOES NOT ALWAYS SHOW UP ONCE IT GETS TO THE DEALERSHIP. HOPEFULLY MY ORDEAL WILL NOT BE IN VAIN! WHEN THIS OCCURRED MY DRIVER SIDE GLASS WAS ROLLED DOWN A LITTLE BIT. *TR
