SUSPENSION PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-06-28
- VIN: YV4SZ592X61
- Components: SUSPENSION
- Summary: The contact owns a 2006 Volvo XC70. The contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle, the front suspension springs fractured. The contact heard a loud clicking sound. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who confirmed the fracture of the suspension springs. The passenger’s side suspension springs were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.
SEAT BELTS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-10-01
- VIN: YV4SZ592061
- Components: SEAT BELTS
- Summary: When rear seats are folded to make more room for cargo, the seat belts retract more inwards due to the retractable hardware that retracts the belts. The button clips that are clamped into the belt that stops them from happening break apart easily due to the retracting force of the belt and when trying to fold back the seats the belts get locked and are unable to fold back to the original position, the only way to fix this is to unbolt the belts and fold back the seats and bolt back the seat belts. When this is done, passengers are not able to buckle in the rear seats due to the belt retractable hardware being locked. Is a safety issue because the passenger can not buckle and, when the belt works and are able to buckle, sometimes when braking hard the belt retrieves a little to keep the passenger in place and when this happens the belts lock back again having the passenger being tightened by the belt and unable to move freely and having difficulty trying to unbuckle in case of an emergency.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-04-12
- VIN: YV4SZ592661
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: ORIGINAL KEYFOB ERASED ITSELF AFTER BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED FOR TWO WEEKS WHILE REPLACING A FAILED ENGINE. I WORKED WITH VISTEON AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS AS AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER, MANUFACTURING THEIR REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEMS. I KNOW VERY WELL THAT THE KEYFOB SHOULD BE PROGRAMMED IN NON-VOLATILE MEMORY CHIPS. VOLVO DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DOING THAT. THIS COULD BE A PUBLIC HAZARD ISSUE WHEN HAVING TO JUMP-START SUCH A VEHICLE TO GET AWAY FROM A NATURAL DISASTER. THE CAR MAY NOT START UNTIL YOU TOW IT TO VOLVO TO RE-PROGRAM IT. IN MY CASE, COURTESY VOLVO OF SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA SENT ME A BILL FOR 10 HOURS OF LABOR FOR KEYFOB RE-PROGRAMMING. ATA RATE OF $68/HOUR. VISTEON'S PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE TAKES MINUTES. VOLVO'S TAKES MANY HOURS. THIS IS ANOTHER HAZARD ISSUE IN ITSELF.

SHE STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND PLACED IT IN PARK. AFTER REMOVING THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL, I DISCOVERED THAT THE SUSPENSION COIL (OR SPRING) AS PART OF THE MACPHERSON STRUT ASSEMBLY, HAD SNAPPED IN TWO AT THE LOWER END. THE BROKEN OFF PART OF THE SPRING WAS SITTING ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARM, WHILE THE OTHER PART WAS STILL SURROUNDING THE STRUT. THAT PART OF THE SPRING WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SLASHING THE TIRE WHEN IT FAILED. WE WERE THANKFUL THAT THIS HAPPENED ON OUR DRIVEWAY AND NOT GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. BUT WE WERE ALSO ASTOUNDED THAT SUCH A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF A SUSPENSION PART LIKE THIS WOULD OCCUR IN THE FIRST PLACE. THERE WERE NO RECALLS THAT WE WERE AWARE OF AND NOTHING IN THE SERVICE SCHEDULE ABOUT REPLACING THESE SPRINGS AT THE GIVEN MILEAGE.

After conducting thorough research on similar vehicles, we ultimately decided on the XC70 with the premium and climate packages. While other makes may offer more options for less money, we firmly believe that safety should always be a top priority, and Volvo is renowned for its commitment to safety. Additionally, we were impressed by the solid construction of the XC70, which provides a reassuring feeling while driving. My wife was pleasantly surprised by how much she enjoyed driving this car. Although it may feel slightly ponderous compared to an Accord, it is easy to adjust to. Furthermore, the XC70 offers unparalleled roominess when compared to other AWD wagons in its class.

We changed our Passat wagon for a Volvo XC70 and we are absolutely loving it! It's the most comfortable and sturdy car we've ever owned. We're so happy with it that we've decided to keep it at the end of the lease. We're even thinking about getting another Volvo as a second car. With this car, you definitely get your money's worth.
-
Acceleration is slightly weakened by the all-wheel drive, but just imagine how well it would perform on slippery roads! Plus, if the drag strip was wet, no one would be able to beat it! It's also incredibly comfortable for even the longest 10-hour drives, and the stylish design is just the cherry on top. I couldn't find a single thing to complain about!
-
The 2006 XC70 is a really well-built SUV. As soon as you get inside and close the door, the outside world seems to quiet down immediately. It's really quiet on the highways and handles turns quickly - even better than I expected for a wagon and an SUV. It's exceptionally comfortable for long rides and the HU850 radio with DolbyII really makes an audible difference. According to the built-in computer, I'm getting 15 MPG about town and 25 MPG on the highway. I'm really happy with my purchase!
-
I just wanted to share that I recently purchased a 2006 XC70 AWD wagon and I am absolutely thrilled with it! This car is perfect for road trips or just cruising around town in style, comfort, and safety. It's a sweet ride, thanks Volvo!

Are you having problems with your 2006 Volvo Xc70?
Adriel Cummings 2024-07-09
I recently purchased a 06 XC70 for a great price of $3250. Although it had 166k miles on it, the previous owner took good care of it. However, I have encountered some issues with the car such as shuddering at idle or red lights and the transmission acting up while driving home today. I recently spent $1k on a new oil separator and PCV replacement. Despite these issues, I am determined to make the most of my purchase and use it for at least a year. In the future, I plan to purchase cars from Japan to avoid similar issues. Thank you for reading!
