2012 Volvo C70 problems

volvo logo

The Volvo C70 is a two-door, four-passenger sports GT manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars from 1996 to 2013 across two generations.

The first generation (1996–2005) was available as both a coupé (1996–2002) and softtop convertible (1997–2005). The second generation (2006–2013) was available as a retractable hardtop convertible.

First generation (1996–2005)

Volvo debuted the first generation C70 at the 1996 Paris Motor Show, and introduced it in Europe as a 1997 model, and a year later as a 1998 model in North America — with 2.0 (sold mostly in Italy), a low-pressure turbo (2.4L) and a high-pressure turbo (2.0L and 2.3L), 5-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engines and manual and automatic transmissions. Ian Callum designed the exterior and Mexican designer Jose Diaz de la Vega led the interior design team.

The C70 broke Volvo's decades-long styling tradition of boxy, rectilinear designs and was Volvo's first luxury coupe since the 780. According to a tongue-in-check remark made by Peter Horbury, Volvo's design chief from 1991 to 2002, with the C70, Volvo "kept the toy, and threw away the box!" "Our vision was to design a convertible that would meet the needs of a family of four looking for comfortable blue-sky motoring in a vehicle also providing stylish looks, performance and faultless driving and road-holding."

In a development program of 30 months and working with a Volvo 850-derived platform, Britain’s TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing) co-designed the car's basic design and suspension tuning with Volvo. Manufacture of the C70 was a joint venture until the two companies experienced disputes that threatened to interrupt production; TWR did not contribute to the second generation C70.

Volvo's first modern convertible, the C70 was manufactured in Uddevalla, Sweden on an assembly line separate from the 70-series sedan and station wagon. The four-passenger convertible featured an electrically heated glass rear window; automatic (pop-up) rollover hoops system, marketed as ROPS; seat belt pre-tensioners; A-pillars reinforced with boron steel; front and side airbags; and a safety cage — a horseshoe-like structure around the passenger compartment.

The cloth convertible top, initially available in four colors, was fully automatic, operated by a single, dashboard-mounted control. The top stored automatically under an integral rigid tonneau cover, using a system pioneered in modern convertibles with the fourth generation Mercedes SL.

The C70 convertible exhibited two negative traits endemic to convertibles: poor rear visibility and pronounced scuttle shake, a characteristic where the structural design of the bulkhead between the engine and passenger compartments of a convertible suffers sufficiently poor rigidity to negatively impact ride and handling — and allow noticeable vibration, shudder or chassis-flexing into the passenger compartment.

Early special editions featured two-tone leather interior with wood trim and a SC-901 (1998) Dolby Pro Logic I stereo with 3-disc integrated changer unit (via a cartridge) 400 watts of power and 11 high end Dynaudio speakers.

Common 2012 Volvo C70 problems

The 2012 Volvo C70 is known for several common problems that owners have reported. These issues range from minor annoyances to significant mechanical problems.

Firstly, squeaks and rattles are a common issue in the Volvo C70, which can be a minor irritation or a mind-bending annoyance. These noises can be caused by various factors, including the folding roof mechanism and the car's body panels. While dealers can fix the issue, it may take more than one visit to resolve the problem entirely.

The folding roof mechanism is another area where the C70 has some issues. The roof can jam while in use, requiring it to be removed, repaired, and then refitted. This process can be time-consuming and expensive. Additionally, the roof's weather seals can become brittle over time, leading to leaks and other problems. Some owners recommend lubricating the roof's weather seals to prevent these issues, but it's essential to consult a dealer before attempting this repair.

The car's brittle cabin trim is another common problem, particularly around the centre console and armrest area. This issue can be a significant concern for owners who want to maintain the car's interior in pristine condition.

The 2012 Volvo C70 has also been known to have issues with its electrical system. Some owners have reported complete electrical failure, which can be a significant problem for a car that relies heavily on electronic systems for its safety and functionality.

The car's ride quality can also be a concern, particularly for owners who opt for the 18-inch alloy wheels that come standard on SE Lux models. These wheels can negatively impact the car's ride quality, making it less comfortable to drive on rough roads.

In addition to these issues, the 2012 Volvo C70 has been known to have some significant mechanical problems. For example, some owners have reported massive oil leaks, especially from the cam seals and adjuster seals. These leaks can cause damage to other parts of the car, such as the axles and boots, leading to expensive repairs.

The car's crankcase pressure can also be a problem, causing seals to fail and leading to oil leaks. This issue can be a significant concern for owners who want to maintain the car's mechanical integrity and avoid costly repairs.

Overall, the 2012 Volvo C70 is known for several common problems that owners have reported. These issues range from minor annoyances, such as squeaks and rattles, to significant mechanical problems, such as oil leaks and electrical failures. While some of these issues can be resolved with relatively simple repairs, others may require more extensive and expensive repairs. As with any car, it's essential to thoroughly research the model before purchasing and to consider the potential costs of repairs and maintenance.

SUSPENSION,STRUCTURE,WHEELS PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-11-22
  • VIN: YV1672MC7CJ
  • Components: SUSPENSION,STRUCTURE,WHEELS
  • Summary: There is a know defect with the chassis used for several Volvo car models. My car is a Volvo C70, year 2012. My car is affected by this defect. The defect wasn't disclosed to me at time of sale. I only learned about it literally 10 years later when Volvo of Gilbert (dealership) advised me to install a costly part on the rear suspension of my car because of "excessive negative camber". According to the Volvo repair department, they've known for years of an internal repair "recommendation" memo issued by Volvo that Volvo actually pays for on other models, but won't pay for on mine, to correct this "negative camber" on the rear of the car. ***** The negative camber causes tire walls to fail early and abnormally wear the internal edges of the tires. I've experienced early tire failure on multiple sets of tires on my Volvo C70 and never knew why. Now I know. **Volvo has always known.** I have to replace all of my tires almost every two years due to the inside edges wearing out, despite faithfully rotating my tires several times a year. My tires have worn down to the belt on the inside edges despite having plenty of good tread left in the middle of the tire itself. About two years ago I had a dangerous blowout on the freeway because of a tire that failed early -- now I know it's because of the negative camber. More recently, two of my tires wore down all the way to the belts despite being less than two years old. ***** Volvo knows about this issue. There is a good paper trail of the issue being documented both by Volvo and their customers, but they failed to warn us of the dangerous car suspension and failed to provide the fix to all of us (while providing the fix to some of their customers). ***** Please listen to this 2-minute recording with the Volvo technician (Judd) who disclosed the known defect to me: [XXX] ***** This needs to be rectified for all of us with the faulty chassis'. Thank you. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

  • VIN: yv1672mc0cj
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: door opened on its own while driving. three times this week. door appears locked and warning illumination indicator does not recognize that door is open. door cannot be locked when in this condition but it indicates that it is locked. appears identical to issue in NHTSA campaign 19v849000.

STRUCTURE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2021-08-14
  • VIN: YV1672MC8CJ
  • Components: STRUCTURE
  • Summary: This occurred after driving for about an hour. While driving at a fairly high rate of speed, I felt the driver's door move slightly. The dome light came on indicating that the door had opened. The windows were down so I cannot state if they would have slightly lowered as they normally do when the door is opened. I pushed outward on the door to see if it was fully open. The latch held the door. Using the interior door handle, I then opened and closed the door. The doors were then locked as extra security. Approximately 30 minutes later this happened again on a busier highway. I then had to worry about the door opening on me again while I was driving, however, there was no further occurrence. Later after returning home, I performed an internet search to see if something like this had happened to others. After seeing other comments of C70 doors opening & door latch problems, I decided to report the problem to get it on record.

STRUCTURE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2014-06-04
  • VIN: yv1672mc8cj
  • Components: STRUCTURE
  • Summary: Drivers door without warning while driving at high speed suddenly unlatches, hazard light and warning indicator that door is open is shown .Besides being very dangerous it is very scary .My problem has not been confirmed by dealer but was reported to dealer as far back as 7 years ago.
2021-05-21

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2021-04-27
  • VIN: YV1672MC0CJ
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: The doors open when driving, first the passenger door opened about 3 months ago. The warning light comes on and stated that the door is open. The safety on the door keeps it from completely opening but the door is ajar just not completely opened. Last month it happened twice to the drivers door while in drive. I am aware that there is no recall but Volvo recalled 144,937 S60 sedans and V60 wagons from the 2011 through 2017 model years because their doors may open unexpectedly while the car is in motion. I had to pay $2000 to have this flaw fixed when in actuality it should have been a safety recall.

STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2021-05-02
  • VIN: YV1672MC5CJ
  • Components: STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: The large coupe doors on this vehicle have a tendency to become unlatched while driving requiring the need to stop the vehicle and re-open and close the doors. This happens when doors are locked as well as unlocked. When this happens on the highway at high speeds, it is very dangerous and difficult to hold the door closed while making your way to the side of the road to correct the problem. This happens with no warning. There are recalls by Volvo for this exact issue on several other models but not the C70. I have reported this issue directly to Volvo customer service. I am also aware this is a widespread issue as I have have seen it identified by several other C70 owners on various Volvo Owner Internet forums.

  • VIN: YV1672MC6CJ
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: DRIVE SIDE DOOR OPENS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS AT CITY AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE DOOR LATCH, AND SEEMS TO BE AN IDENTICAL ISSUE THAT IS COVERED IN A RECALL FOR THE VOLVO S60 AND V60. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE C70 IS THE CONVERTIBLE VERSION OF THE S60. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THE EXISTING RECALL FOR THE S60 SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE C70.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2019-07-01
  • VIN: YV1672MC3CJ
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: MY HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE HEADLINER IS HELD TOGETHER WITH A STRING LIKE CORD. THE STRING HAS BROKE FOR NO REASON NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK CORNER. THIS CAUSES A PROBLEM BECAUSE IF I PUT THE TOP DOWN AND THEN WHEN I TRY AND PUT THE TOP BACK UP THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR CORNER PIECE OF THE LINER GETS FOLDED UP AND PREVENTS ME FROM PUTTING THE TOP BACK UP . I HAVE HAD PREVIOUS CONVERTIBLES AND THIS IS MY SECOND VOLVO CONVERTIBLE AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A LINER BEING HELD IN PLACE LIKE THIS OR HAVING THIS PROBLEM. MY VOLVO IS A 2012 AND ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE MY CONVERTIBLE TOP AND THE PLEASURE OF DRIVING WITH THE TOP DOWN FOR ALMOST A YEAR BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THE TOP WILL NOT GO BACK UP ONE OF THESE TIMES AND MY CAR WILL BE LEFT EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS AROUND ME AT THE TIME.

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON, THE WINDOW SLIGHTLY OPENED LIKE IT DOES WHEN YOU NORMALLY OPEN THE DOOR, AND A WARNING CAME ON SAYING THE DOOR WAS OPEN. IT DID NOT FULLY OPEN, BUT WAS COMPLETELY UNLATCHED, I HAD TO REACH OVER AND HOLD IT SHUT WHILE DRIVING UNTIL I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE OTHER TIMES, TOO, THOUGH THIS WAS BY FAR THE SCARIEST AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT, AND I SEE OTHER FOLKS HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE,

SUSPENSION,WHEELS PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2014-10-13
  • VIN: YV1672MC6CJ
  • Components: SUSPENSION,WHEELS
  • Summary: THIS 2012 VOLVO C70 WAS DRIVEN FROM COHASSET, MA TO CHICAGO IL IN LATE SEPTEMBER 2014. IT WAS DRIVEN WITH THE TOP DOWN FOR A PERIOD OF 400 MILES. THE CAR DID HAVE BRAND NEW MICHELIN PILOT SPORT TIRES ON THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES, THE REAR TIRES HAD OVER 7/10THS WEAR ON THEM. UPON REACHING CHICAGO AN ODD NOISE WAS NOTICED IN THE CAR LIKE A FAILING REAR HUB. UPON TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE FIELDS VOLVO SERVICE ADVISER NOTICED THERE WAS FEATHERING OF THE REAR TIRES WHICH WAS DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE NEGATIVE CAMBER WITH THE TOP DOWN (INCORRECT OEM SUSPENSION SETTING FROM VOLVO). THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD US TO REPLACE THE BRAND NEW TIRES AT A COST OF $500 BUT DIDN'T NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE. HOWEVER A NEW SUB-CROSS MEMBER FOR THE REAR SUSPENSION WAS OFFERED IN 2013 TO AVOID THIS ISSUE, I ALSO HAVE SERVICE BULLETINS SHOWING VOLVOS KNOWLEDGE OF THE ISSUE. I TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISER THIS IS NOT A FIX AND I WANTED TO KNOW HOW THIS ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED AND PREVENTED FROM HAPPENING AGAIN AS THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON WET OR SNOWY SURFACES BECAUSE OF THE SUSPENSION AND TIRE WARE ISSUES. HE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. AND WE CAN SPEND $500 ON TIRES EVERY 500 MILES WE DRIVE WITH THE TOP DOWN. I THEN PRESENTED THE ISSUE TO VOLVO OF NORTH AMERICA SENDING THEM A KIND EMAIL ASKING THEM HOW WE SHOULD HANDLE THE ISSUE. BEING A CAR ENTHUSIAST I AM AWARE THIS CAR SHARES A SUSPENSION WITH THE MAZDA 3 AND FORD FOCUS. I INFORMED VOLVO I CAN BUY AN AFTERMARKET ADJUSTABLE UPPER CONTROL ARM AND FIX THE ISSUE BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FACTORY WARRANTY, AS IT WOULD BE VOIDED FOR SUSPENSION ISSUES AND ALSO WHY DO WE HAVE TO FIX A CAR UNDER WARRANTY WITH SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES? I SENT THIS EMAIL TO VOLVO OVER 3 WEEKS AGO WITH NO RESPONSE TO MY QUESTIONS..... PLEASE HELP! *TR
